[opensuse-packaging] How to handle -doc packages?

by Ludwig Nussel

Hi, Some packages split out their man pages or other documentation into a sub package. More often than not that subpackage then is recommended. IOW installed by default which is undesirable. We also have a pattern for documenation though. So IMO it makes sense to link installing such documenation packages to the pattern. The question is how though. Assuming we have foo, foo-doc and patterns-base-documentation I see several ways: 1. pattern is in charge a. in patterns-base-documentation Recommends: foo-doc b. in patterns-base-documentation Recommends: foo-doc if foo 2. package is in charge a. in foo Recommends: foo-doc if patterns-base-documentation b. in foo-doc Supplements: packageand(foo:patterns-base-documentation) 1) pro: when looking at the pattern eg. in YaST one can actually see an overview of what documentation is available. con: pattern needs to be adjusted for every change in packaging. Extra step and easy to forget. 2) pro: packager can add, split, merge or drop packages any time con: package installation is a bit more black magic. The pattern leads to pulling in more packages than expected.

[opensuse-packaging] Compiler Cache (Ccache) support in Open Build Service

by Sumit Jamgade

Hello, Long running compilation can now leverage ccache[1] to speed up the build process. This feature can be enabled per package in the project config: BuildFlags: useccahe:<packagename> example: https://build.opensuse.org/projects/home:sjamgade:branches:science:machinel… Once enabled per package, it will be enabled for all architectures and repositories. https://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/obs-user-guide/cha.obs.prjconfig.… (grep ccache) --- The ccache tar file is collected only on *successful builds with changed result*. It is extracted for every build at /.ccache/ if enabled. This build artifact is not versioned and only the latest tar is stored. It can be downloaded from the webui or osc. https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/home:sjamgade:branches:science:… osc getbinaries --ccache -M standard home:sjamgade:branches:science:machinelearning tensorflow openSUSE_Tumbleweed x86_64 _ccache.tar osc getbinaries --ccache $prj $pkg $repo $arch _ccache.tar This archive can be further used for local builds too. osc build --pkg-ccache /full/path/to/_ccache.tar (please use the latest osc) --- Ccache config file is stored in /.ccache/ccache.conf and is writable by the build user. So, it could also be disabled (or configured as per package requirements) echo "disable = true" >> /.ccache/ccache.conf For possible build time comparisons: https://build.opensuse.org/packages/tensorflow:standard/job_history/home:sj… Thank you, Sumit Jamgade and OBS Team [1] - https://ccache.dev/ PS: Some packages (eg: tensorflow) need extra plumbing in spec file to enable access to /.ccache and use of ccache cmd: export CC_PREFIX=ccache; ln -s /.ccache/ ~/.ccache -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Is there a way to wipe old packages from a repo?

by Mathias Homann

Hi, it seems that there is "old junk" in the repo for my home project, i.e. rpm packages for stuff that I don't build in my home anymore, and that I don't even **have** there anymore. How can I get rid of the rpm packages?

[opensuse-packaging] Need help check on Veyon package before submiiting to openSUSE security team.

by andythe_great

Hello, I build Veyon package with help form malcolmlewis. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:andythe_great:branches:home:lr… The RPMLINT error show E: polkit-untracked-privilege which it suggest to ask security team about it. I just want to make sure the spec file is correct before submitting to them. Some thing I am not sure is Requires(post): permissions, should I use Requires(post) or Prereq: permissions? I could not fix position-independent-executable-suggested warning even if I add -fPIE flag to it.

The autotools version of the shared-mime-info runs update-mime-database at the end of make install, the meson version doesn't but the package does during installation. This is why, although the package creates them, they aren't owned by shared-mime-info anymore. Running update-mime-database shouldn't be run during make install, it should be run during rpm installation.

[opensuse-packaging] What's happened with shared-mime-info?

by Dave Plater

Hi, package openSUSE:Factory/buzztrax started to fail to build around 9 May due to a shared-mime-info directory no longer existing, in fact none of the files under /usr/share/mime/application exist anymore and the directories under /usr/share/mime/ such as audio don't exist anymore. I searched the changes file and the packages NEWS file but can't find any information about this change, is this possibly as a result of the switch to meson build?

[opensuse-packaging] Trying to package pi-hole for arm boards

by Paul Gonin

Hi ! I started a new project to build pi-hole packages for arm boards (armv7l & aarch64) I found packages built in a personal space, but those are only available for x86 (and i586) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Smar:pi-hole/pi-hole So I branched it and enabled armv7l & aarch64 https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:paulgonin:branches:home:Smar:p… I am puzzled by the results. The builds succeeded on some cases tumbleweed armv7l & aarch64 as well as SLE15SP1 aarch64... but failed on Leap15.1 armv7l & aarch64 and SLES15SP1 armv7l Apparently some packages are 'unresolvable'. (nothing provides sususer-tools, rpm-build & gcc-PIE). I checked from a rpi2 with Leap15.1 and those packages are available (with zypper se) Any guidance from a more experienced packager / open build service on how to move forward and resolve that situation ? thanks !
