[opensuse-packaging] Building RPMs for different versions of OS
by Dominique Leuenberger 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Hi, Just for me to be sure (and not to miss something): Do I require an installation of every OS Version / Arch that I want to create packages for? As I just became the official package manager of a video client everybody knows (3letter) for SUSE Linux Versions, we'd like to offer packages of course for as many archs and versions as possible. But then again, my hardware availability (and budget to change this) are very limited (versions could be installed in virtual machines). Do I see this right or is there a 'way around' ? Dominique

[opensuse-packaging] Python based program / Files section
by Dominique Leuenberger 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hi everybody, as quiet a n00b in packaging, I;m in progress of packaging gnome-sudoku (will be found in games:puzzle. The package works good so far, EXCEPT for opensuse-factory. The reason is tracked down, I'm just missing a good solution, that I might like (introducing a variable using an %if construct is not what I'd like) So the problem: The program get's installed to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnome_sudoku and thus, in my files section, I have %{_prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnome_sudoku But as Factory switched to Python 2.5, of course the install path is different (the install script realizez it, and copies it to [...]python2.5[...] How can I adjust the %Files - Section to reflect this 'Multi-Version' aware? Thanks for your help! Dominique

Hopefully for the next release, it will be adopted. Would 0.2.0 be treated newer as 0.2rc2? Dominique

Hi, I have created packages for SuperTuxKart 0.2rc2 and then for SuperTuxKart 0.2 (obsoleteing 0.2rc2) (only home: repo up to now) RUG and other tools don't recognize 0.2 being newer as 0.2rc2 What suggestion can you give me for future Numbering schemes of RC-Releases? Thanks for an advise, Dominique
