Hi, Why rpmlint prints a warning about /usr/bin/env as a script interpreter? I could not find any related documentation.

Hi, To my horror I noticed that until an hour ago, http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging was entirely empty. Please help fill it with content to document common practices, so that others can learn from you or you can learn from others!

[opensuse-packaging] Xen 3.1 for openSUSE 10.2
by Curtis Grote 29 May '07

29 May '07

Do rpm's for Xen 3.1 on openSUSE 10.2 exist anywhere or will they be created? I have found the rpm's from xensource.com for 'OpenSUSE 10' to be problematic. Thanks.

[opensuse-packaging] automatic packporting of Factory packages
by Stanislav Brabec 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hallo. I wrote a script, which attempts to backport packages to be compilable on older products. It means replacing of Requires and BuildRequires by an appropriate %if. It is intended to prevent hardly maintainable %if %suse_version hell in Factory. If there will be an interest, I can maintain it in OpenSUSE:Tools. Usage is trivial: - cd to unpacked sources. - Run it. TODO: - Move configuration outside script (trivial). - Support for "this new name is already used in this repository" (trivial - delete appropriate line or use "%if %suse_version foo || 0%{?opensuse_bs}". (trivial) - Support for rules more packages -> anything (not so trivial) - Support for fixes of "has choice for" (already written, but it is not part of this attachment, because it has a large configuration. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/

[opensuse-packaging] policy for naming devel packages
by Dirk Mueller 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi, it was recently (in bugreport 277317) brought to my attention that we have three packages containing development files, but not being named with a "-devel" suffix: OpenOffice_org-sdk wnn-sdk xorg-x11-server-sdk I was wondering if there is a special policy regarding the -sdk suffix that I'm not aware of? Shouldn't those packages be named -devel?
