Packages files from /etc to /usr/lib, how to adjust packages?
by Thorsten Kukuk 24 Feb '22

24 Feb '22

Hi, NetworkManager upstream moved many stuff from /etc/NetworkManager to /usr/lib/NetworkManager, like the dispatcher.d and VPN directories. We have many packages which still install their stuff into e.g. /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ This is a specific example, but many other packages suffer from the same problem. So dbus upstream moved also many files from /etc/dbus-1 to /usr/share/dbus-1, and you can continue this list with other "infrastructure" packages. What would be a good way … [View More]

completion missing in cmctl: Can someone translate bazel to regular "go build" commands?
by Johannes Kastl 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

Hi all, recently I built cmctl, the CLI tool accompanying cert-manager. The tool itself works, but as Robert pointed out the completion is not active: https://cert-manager.io/docs/usage/cmctl/#completion $ cmctl completion help Error: unknown command "completion" for "cmctl" Run 'cmctl --help' for usage. unknown command "completion" for "cmctl" The help does not contain any hint of completion. The upstream package is built using bazel, while I created the RPM to build the pieces directly … [View More]

sysctl variables changes becoming active on upadting packages?
by Marcus Meissner 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

Hi, we are wondering if sysctl values in on of the /etc/sysctl* directories change via a packageupdate, if they should become active immediately, or only ever on next reboot. e.g. running /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl in %post of such packages would make them active, but could overwrite admin set values. Ciao, Marcus

Not packaging the same file twice with different names: packaging kubectl plugins
by Johannes Kastl 18 Feb '22

18 Feb '22

Hi again, what is the currently recommended way to have a file installed by a package with two different names? Many kubectl plugins can be run standalone or as a kubectl plugin. The latter only works, if the binary name is kubectl-foo. My first idea: Package /usr/bin/foo and create a link to /usr/bin/kubectl-foo. But how to do that best? Spec? During package installation? Or is there a better approach? Thanks in advance! Johannes -- Johannes Kastl Linux Consultant & Trainer Tel.: +… [View More]

Using tar_scm service for kyverno creates funny archive name and wrong version
by Johannes Kastl 18 Feb '22

Building RPM packages directly from git without intermediate tarballs?
by Florian Haftmann 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hi *, I am currently working on an environment for software developers based on openSUSE Leap 15.3 (on WSL, but that should not matter in this context). The aim is to provide developers with a per-configured environment using RPM configuration packages, i. e. packages with add a bunch of environment-specific config files to the existing installation. (The choice to use the package system for configuration delivery is intentional: the package delivery infrastructure is already there and there … [View More]
