[opensuse-packaging] dropping jabberd from distribution
by Petr Cerny 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi, I would like do discuss dropping jabberd from distribution and maintaining it only in the BuildService. As the project is actively developped, the version in distribution is more or less obsolete at release time. the actual version of jabberd in BS is 2.0s11, I have now an update to 2.1.12 (which will appear in BS soon). Comments, please. Thanks Petr --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Xinetd now honours disable line
by Ales Nosek 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi, Xinetd was patched to honour disable line in service configuration files (stored in /etc/xinetd.d). Xinetd now aborts parsing of the config file as soon as it reads the line "disable = yes". This was made to prevent Xinetd from dropping warnings into logs which where not relevant. Futher information can be found at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254613 Please, when you make updates of services which run under Xinetd, move the disable line to the beginning of the config file. For example file /etc/xinetd.d/echo: # default: off # description: An echo server. This is the tcp version. service echo { type = INTERNAL id = echo-stream socket_type = stream protocol = tcp user = root wait = no disable = yes FLAGS = IPv6 IPv4 } should be service echo { disable = yes type = INTERNAL id = echo-stream socket_type = stream protocol = tcp user = root wait = no FLAGS = IPv6 IPv4 } Thanks, Ales --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Missing dependency: epiphany and GNOME stable repository
by Michel Salim 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Hello, Could epiphany be added to the GNOME-stable OBS repository? It depends on mozilla-xulrunner181, and GNOME-stable has a newer version of this, which breaks epiphany. Thanks, -- Michel PS new to this community, please advise if I should post the request somewhere else --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Package RDAC kernel module
by Leo Eraly 07 Aug '07

Hi, I'm packaging the RDAC (http://www.lsi.com/rdac/ds4000.html) module for different versions of suse in the OBS.

If I change this symlink to /usr/src/linux-`uname -`/include (which is in the kernel-src package) the compile works. What is the correct way to solve this more permanent? Submit a patch upstream?

[opensuse-packaging] Split licenses.rpm (based on 'Building packages with linking a license from licenses.rpm')
by Lukas Ocilka 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Moin, After our discussion with JSrain we decided to write to packages with just another issue about licenses.rpm. The current RPM content size (unpacked) is quite big du -sh /usr/share/doc/licenses/ -> 3.9 MB This package-size is a bit disputable when talking about saving-space ;) Actually it is because the package contains some very-rare licenses or some obscure licenses used just for one package in our distribution. The proposal is simple: - Find out, which packages in a minimal installation use which licenses and create licenses-base.rpm (for example) that would contain only those important/used licenses. - The rest could stay in licenses.rpm. We'd save space for the minimal-installation and we'd still have all licenses for 'the other cases'. BTW: I have to admit, that splitting-it up was a jsrain's idea :) ;) What do you think of that?

[opensuse-packaging] Request for creating ntfs-config package
by Krupanský Rastislav 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello. I don´t know who and how creates packages for example in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/ And i don´t have any experience with creating of packages, so i´d like to ask for favour, whether someone would be able to created a package ntfs-config (from http://flomertens.free.fr/ntfs-config/ ).Of course, if it is possible. I think it is very good and simple tool for ntfs-3g driver. I know that you are going to plane integrate r/w support in openSUSE 10.3, but this could be for older 10.1, 10.2... Thanks.

[opensuse-packaging] [zoz@suse.de: Re: [Research] No more /sbin/getcfg]
by Christian Zoz 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi all, 1) /sbin/getcfg* has gone! (Alpha 7) 2) /sbin/hwup has changed, no more sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-* 1) /sbin/getcfg* has gone! (Alpha 7) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I scanned all packages and here the files that still contains a reference to getcfg* (mostly getcfg-interface): /etc/init.d/dhcrelay /etc/init.d/dhcpd /etc/init.d/ntop /etc/preload.d/later /etc/xen/scripts/xen-network-common.sh /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-network.sh /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 /usr/lib/openwbem/c++providers/libomc_ip_interface_profile.so.1.0.0 /usr/share/doc/packages/ifplugd/ifplugd.init /usr/share/doc/packages/powersave/contrib/acpi_hotkeys_Samsung_P35 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2/network/autodocs/NetworkDevices.html These are mostly occurences of getcfg-interface, which was used to translate hardware descriptions into interface names. You may just drop that: H=get_interface_hardware_descriptor I=getcfg-interface H use I has to replaced by I=get_interface_hardware_descriptor use I All configuration files that contain hardware descriptions have to be converted. For this purpose there is /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/hwdesc2iface For a sysconfig style config file you may call hwdesc2iface <file> <variable_start> It converts all variables that start with variable_start. If a variable contains multiple values all will be converted. Example11: ifcfg-bond0 ... BONDING_SLAVE_1=eth-id-... BONDING_SLAVE_2=pci-bus-... ... Just call hwdesc2iface ifcfg-bond0 BONDING_SLAVE This will convert both variables to BONDING_SLAVE_1=ethX BONDING_SLAVE_2=ethY Example2: ifcfg-br0 ... BRIDGE_PORTS="eth-id-... bus-pci-..." ... Just call: hwdesc2iface ifcfg-br0 BRIDGE_PORTS Result BRIDGE_PORTS="ethX ethY" For other syntax of configuration files you may call hwdesc2iface to convert the values: zoz@agadez:~> hwdesc2iface id 11:de:ad:be:ef:99 eth99 zoz@agadez:~> hwdesc2iface bus pci 0000:02:02.0 ath0 zoz@agadez:~> 2) /sbin/hwup has changed, no more sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There is still a small /sbin/hwup, but it does not longer - (un)load modules - read config files - execute s390 specials But it still does - initialize devices the same way as at boot time. Give the sysfs devpath as argument hwup /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/... - take down a device (hwdown) also with interface names as argument try 'hwdown eth0': it unbinds the device from the driver and so the interface will be unregistered. - hwup accepts interface names as argument, if the device was taken down with hwup before. In the example above 'hwup eth0' brings your interface back. - accepts the old hwup hardware descriptions. It is a trivial script that uses /sys/bus/*/drivers/*/{un,}bind, /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent and /sys/bus/*/drivers_probe. Have a look at it if you want to learn what sysfs can do for you. Forget 'rmmod' and 'modprobe -r', just unbind the device. -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] modprobe --skip-unsupported not needed anymore
by Michal Marek 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

[sorry for the cross-post, but this could be of interest for both packagers as well as factory users/testers] Hi, in case you see warnings like this: WARNING: the --skip-unsupported option is no longer available then either fix your package to no longer care about unsupported modules (remove the --skip-unsupported option) or make a bugreport if it's not in your package. Ex: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293758 Background: the handling of unsupported modules was changed in 10.3, it's now globally configured in /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported.blacklist, it's no longer the responsibility of the callers of modprobe. For compatibility with not yet updated scripts, the option is still recongnized, but it prints the above warning. For details, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-07/msg00513.html have a nice day, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
