Building a package using busybox-coreutils or coreutils-single
by Johannes Kastl 10 Sep '24

10 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

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

Language packages are being built differently for Leap and Tumbleweed
by Heitor Moreira 27 Aug '24

27 Aug '24

While investigating why some language packages are not being automatically installed, I noticed that the language packages are being built differently for Leap and Tumbleweed. Taking as an example the qemu package, besides the version, the *spec file* is the same for Leap and Tumbleweed. However, the package built for Leap 15.6 doesn't contain the locale information in the *provides* section. Why the difference? Tumbleweed: > rpm -qp --provides qemu-lang-9.0.2-1.2.x86_64.rpm locale(qemu:bg) locale(qemu:de_DE) locale(qemu:fr_FR) locale(qemu:hu) locale(qemu:it) locale(qemu:sv) locale(qemu:tr) locale(qemu:uk) locale(qemu:zh_CN) qemu-lang = 9.0.2-1.2 qemu-lang(x86-64) = 9.0.2-1.2 Leap 15.6: > rpm -qp --provides qemu-lang-8.2.2-150600.1.8.x86_64.rpm qemu-lang = 8.2.2-150600.1.8 qemu-lang(x86-64) = 8.2.2-150600.1.8 Best regards, Heitor Moreira

Packaging espanso: How to supply compile flags (like "-I/usr/include/libxkbcommon") to the cargo build command?
by Johannes Kastl 18 Aug '24

18 Aug '24

Hi all, I came across espanso, a "cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust", and wanted to package it. I saw that there were some packages built for an older version, started by rickyk. I reworked the package, updated it to the current version and the current cargo packaging guidelines. And then ran into the same issue others also had on openSUSE: Specifying a different include location for xkbcommon. https://github.com/espanso/espanso/issues/995 I tried various ways to supply the compiler flag "-I/usr/include/libxkbcommon", but somehow none worked. I tried: %define __rustflags -Clink-arg=-I/usr/include/libxkbcommon export CXXFLAGS+="-I/usr/include/libxkbcommon" export OPTFLAGS+="-I/usr/include/libxkbcommon" export OPTFLAGS="%{optsflags} -I/usr/include/libxkbcommon" But this does not seem to be respected. How would I do this properly? Kind Regards, Johannes

Well, I need it as prerequisite for some packages, but for whatver reason I get the build fail notifications... Cheers Axel

Questions about Intel Packages
by compellingbytes＠protonmail.com 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

Hi, I'm working on a youtube video about which Intel packages to install on Ubuntu, Debian, and potentially openSUSE to be able to use an Intel Arc/Xe Core APU for compute functions. I had some questions about the structure and choices of these packages, since I noticed some differences between how things are done for Debian/Ubuntu, and other things. If this isn't the best place to ask these questions, please direct me to the right mailing list or forum. First Question: On Ubuntu, Libmfx-gen1.2 is the only package needed for oneVPL-intel-gpu, while on openSUSE Tumbleweed, you need libmfx-gen and libmfx-gen_2 for seemingly the same functionality? Libmfx-gen is 6.6KiB while libmfx-gen1_2 is 8.4MiB, could someone explain why there's a size discrepancy, and what the function of the two packages are? Second Question: I noticed that libvp2 is being built based on oneVPL 2.10.1-2.2, while 2.10.1 was released in December 2023. 2.10.1 was released in December 2023, and that's the only 2.10.1 I see available on github. Are versions like 2.10.1-2.2 created by the openSUSE maintainers with adjustments for openSUSE or... where do they come from? Sub question The latest version is 2.11.0, and I'm wondering if there's an issue as far as it not being the version available for openSUSE Tumbleweed users? Are the intel packages not a priority, especially since there's uncertainty about Intel's gpu future? 3rd question I've tried running the OpenVINO implementation of Stable Diffusion WebUI, and all of the packages needed seem to be available on the openSUSE repo, but script doesn't complete. Would you know if this is because there are at least some packages that are behind the latest of what Intel has made available version wise, or is it an issue with the parameters being passed during compilation by the openSUSE maintainers. I'd really appreciate it if I could get some answers so that I can report a straight story to my audience because I'd really like for Tumbleweed (at least) to be a platform (I'm a Tumbleweed user) that people could utilize Intel Arc/Xe cores on for compute/productivity/AI tasks, instead of having to dual boot into Ubuntu. I hope it doesn't seem that I'm just trying to stick my nose into your business for my own gain; I'd genuinely like to help more people be able to use openSUSE (Tumbleweed) for as many things as possible. Thanks!

Project for Garage (S3-compatible storage)
by Johannes Kastl 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Hi all, I found Garage recently and tried to package it. Looks good, needs some finetuning and testing. https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/ "S3-compatible object store for small self-hosted geo-distributed deployments" Garage is a S3-compatible storage like MinIO. What would be a good devel project for it? There is no server:storage or similar. Kind Regards Johannes

How can some packages stay undetected in openQA ?
by Sai Karthik Karra 19 Jul '24

19 Jul '24

Yesterday, I installed nyxt browser & found that it's not launching due to a missing dependency. Installed it manually & it launched. Also, i have proposed a patch https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1188167 which will catch any runtime errors in the packaging stage. I have encountered a similar issue with neovim too recently. I am curious about why this is not detected in openQA process?
