Having fun with RPM's spec and shells and quoting
by Johannes Kastl 28 Sep '24

Dear packagers, does anyone have an idea, how I can get a variable, containing spaces, into the ldflags argument to "go build ..."? When the ldflags have to be quoted themselves? > https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ojkastl_buildservice:Branch_de… > go build \ > -mod=vendor \ > -buildmode=pie \ > -ldflags=" \ > -X github.com/updatecli/updatecli/pkg/core/version.GoVersion=${GO_VERSION} \ > -X github.com/updatecli/updatecli/pkg/core/version.Version=v%{version} \ > -X github.com/updatecli/updatecli/pkg/core/version.BuildTime=${BUILD_DATE}" \ > -o bin/%{name} ./main.go GO_VERSION is supposed to hold something like "go version go1.23.1 linux/amd64". ldflags needs to be quoted: -ldflags="-X ... -X ..." Quoting the ${GO_VERSION} breaks the ldflag quoting. No matter what I tried, how I espaced the double quotes inside the double quotes, I get an error as soon as GO_VERSION contains spaces. I.e. setting GO_VERSION to "1.2.3" works, but it fails with "go version go1.23.1 linux/amd64". Searching for rpm spec and quoting did not bring up anything, so I am out of ideas. Maybe someone has an idea. Kind Regards, Johannes P.S.: Currently the package builds as GO_VERSION is set to something without spaces: > GO_VERSION="$(go version| awk '{print $3}')"

Building a package using busybox-coreutils or coreutils-single
by Johannes Kastl 16 Sep '24

Hi all, for packaging lix I apparently need the coreutils binary. So I tried adding coreutils-single to the BuildRequires, as this contains the binary. But then the builds are unresolvable, as lots of other packages depend on coreutils, and the both of them conflict. Not sure why the "single" package does not just contain the additional binary and does not conflict, but there may be a reason. How do I solve this without having to resort to crude prjconf hacks? The packages that depend on coreutils are: rpm-build systemd-rpm-macros debugedit linux-glibc-devel I also tried if busybox-coreutils might solve this, but the problem is the same, as this also conflicts with coreutils... Kind Regards, Johannes

Hi all, any recommendations on where to submit espanso to (once I tested it properly)? ################################################## Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust https://github.com/espanso/espanso What is a Text Expander? A text expander is a program that detects when you type a specific keyword and replaces it with something else. This is useful in many ways: Save a lot of typing, expanding common sentences. Create system-wide code snippets. Execute custom scripts Use emojis like a pro. ################################################## Kind Regards, Johannes

libcap for Hercules (available via zypper, but unresolvable for Tumbleweed)
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 10 Sep '24

Hello together, I want to update the Hercules emulator. If I do not include libcap as a package, I will receive this error message: [ 174s] (cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/hercules-4.7-39.1.x86_64/usr/bin; ln -s ./dasdcopy64 cckd642ckd) [ 174s] (cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/hercules-4.7-39.1.x86_64/usr/bin; setcap 'cap_sys_nice=eip' ./hercules) [ 174s] /usr/bin/bash: line 1: setcap: command not found (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:AdaLovelace:branches:Emulators…) I used zypper on my x86 Tumbleweed system and it can find libcap and libcap2. Our package search can find also an official release for Tumbleweed: https://software.opensuse.org/package/libcap Anyways OBS is showing "unresolvable" for Tumbleweed, that it can not find libcap. What do I do wrong with the BuildRequires based on both libcap or libcap2? Thank you! Best regards, Sarah
