[opensuse-packaging] Webpin command-line client
by Pascal Bleser 29 Jul '07

29 Jul '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday I've written a very nice addition for our packager toolbox: a command-line client for Benjamin Weber's excellent openSUSE Package Search service (aka webpin). Very useful to find in which package a file (e.g. a shared lib or a header) is available, or to find out whether someone already packages foobar or not.

[opensuse-packaging] Building packages with linking a license from licenses.rpm
by Lukas Ocilka 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi, I've found that we have a 'licenses' package that contains all known/used licenses. The intention seems to be to save some space by not including own copy of license in each package but linking it (and to clean the system up a bit). It seems to be quite good idea but I haven't found any documentation, howto, wiki page that would describe how to modify my packages to use it. Could someone, please point me (us) to some documentation, howto? Thanks & Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-packaging] Adding users and groups in %pre
by Lars Vogdt 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi I think we also need a "global" decision about $ubject. (See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294188 for details.) Currently each package handles this part separately - and I think we need a macro or a policy to unify this. Perhaps replacing the "useradd" and "groupadd" commands with a macro which understands the same options but handles the complete process in a more "secure" way (also think about server admins using LDAP, winbind or something else as database)... Any other proposals?

[opensuse-packaging] Changes in sysconfig package
by Christian Zoz 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Hi all, there are two significant changes in susconfig package: - /sbin/getcfg removed - /sbin/hw{up,down,status} removed getcfg ^^^^^^ Since some time we provide persistent network interface names. Therefore we don't need to work with hardware descriptions in network setup scripts. From now on we will name network configuration files again ifcfg-<interface> and nothing else. /sbin/getcfg/ was formerly necessary - to get the current interface name from a hardware description -> obsolete - to find the right configuration file -> obsolete - to provide information about the device/interface -> obsolete (sysfs has improved in between) - to do some special tricks on S390 -> will move into some S390-package There are still some other packages which use getcfg. If you are maintainer of such an package please remove getcfg from it. For possible configuration files that contain hardware descriptions i will provide a conversion tool. Just contact me in such a case or for other questions. hwup ^^^^ >From now on we call modprobe in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-driver.rules directly. hwup is no longer used and therefore all hwcfg-* files are obsolete. Since most of these configs contain just the default driver we don't convert them. They will just be dropped. If some device needs some special driver, this may be configured in udev rules more flexible then before. Module options belong to modprobe.conf. It was a big mistake that they could ever be written in hwcfg-*. Manual device control is provoided by sysfs: - to release a device: echo -n <device id> > /sys/bus/*/drivers/*/unbind - to activate a device: echo -n add > /sys/devices/..../uevent The sysconfig package in next beta will still contain getcfg and hwup, but does not use them itself. -- 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] build with cross compiling icecream
by Peter Czanik 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hello, I'm using build version 0.0_SVNr930M to compile Packman packages on PPC. Now I started to use icecream to cross compile, as my PPC build machine is a kind of weak, while I just got a strong x86 machine. This version of build does not seem to have support for cross compile icecream, it creates a package for the native compiler, sets up ICECC_VERSION, and that's all. I made a (very) ugly hack to get it to cross compile and reduce compile times significantly, but that's really not the way it should be solved. Is there anyone working on it, or is it fixed for a later version? I'm a bit afraid to update to a later version just for testing, when I don't have the rpm for this version... :) Bye, CzP Ps: just for the record, I added this few lines to the end of setupicecream() in /usr/lib/build/build: " echo icecream cross compile preparation cp /root/build_icecream.sh "$BUILD_ROOT"/etc/profile.d/build_icecream.sh if [ ! -f "$BUILD_ROOT"/opt/icecream/bin/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-c++ ] ; then for i in powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-c++ powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-cc powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ powerpc-unkno wn-linux-gcc ; do ln -s /usr/bin/icecc "$BUILD_ROOT"/opt/icecream/bin/$i done fi cp /root/cross-ppc-gcc-icecream-backend_i386.tar.gz /root/native.tar.gz "$BUILD_ROOT" " Content of /root/build_icecream.sh is: " export PATH=/opt/icecream/bin:$PATH export ICECC_VERSION="/native.tar.gz,i686:/cross-ppc-gcc-icecream-backend_i386.tar.gz" " The links are there, as sometimes I found, that configure looks for these, and it helped a lot at least on Gentoo. cross-ppc-gcc-icecream-backend_i386.tar.gz is from a SuSE rpm, native.tar.gz is the one generated by /usr/lib/icecc/icecc-create-env --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
