The problem, however, is that calling qmake (qt3 version) from rpmbuild results in weird behavior with both the prefix and some include paths. It seems that qmake changes some instances of the /usr directory to ../../../../../../ when called from rpmbuild. It does not do that with the qt4 version or when manually calling the qt3 version. Could this be a bug with qmake from qt3? -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Tel: 849 8405 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help(a)opensuse.org -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Tel: 849 8405

New packages: tango-icon-theme and icon-naming-utils
by James Ogley 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

About to add tango-icon-theme and icon-naming-utils (which it requires) to usr-local-bin. Both are noarch. There's one patch to vanilla Tango, which is to make it inherit Industrial icons as well as gnome & crystalsvg. -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

Well, here's a start to Pascal's idea for new packages being announced here. :) I'm about to upload gnome-menu-editor packages (10.0/i586 and 10.0/i686) - don't think anyone else currently packages this, but if you do, please shout.

I've packaged up mplayerplug-in and uploaded it to usr-local-bin (latest version). If the PackMan crew package it (as has been the case in the past), could they let me know, and I'll pull my package.

Legal issues for packagers
by Marcel Hilzinger 16 Oct '05

16 Oct '05

Suggestion What about making a special repo for legally grey-zone packages? I'd like to put packman, guru and other packages on our CDs /DVDs often, but have to sort them out the heavily. You want your repos to be included in OpenSUSE, so that users just have to klick to enable the installation source. With a special repo for all the half-legal and illegal stuff (e.g on a server in a non-EU country, like Switzerland ;-), live would perhaps be easyier and safer. Best regards, Marcel

The beginning of a repo
by houghi 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

I am looking into the building of a repository. At least for some scripts I have written. The results can be looked at at http://www.houghi.org/suse/10.0/ and RPMS being the repo. Best don't use it as a fixed point, because it will probably be moving a lot. Only three programs till now that I have made into RPMs thusfar. makeSUSEdvd (obviously), mx is another script I wrote and grepm, something I did not write myself. At this moment I am concentrating on the making of an RPM and placing all correctly. So I take just scripts and not something that needs compiling. One step at a time. To do all this, I wrote a script. It would not be me if I would not do something with a script. :-) This is how I (together with the script) work. I copy Development/skeleton/Latest to Development/script/Latest and change the files inside Development/script/Latest to whatever I like. No yet all very sofisticated, but the basis of how I think I should work is there. Now my question. Could somebody look at it and tell me wether this is the good direction or if I amaking an arse of myself. I rather have it told to me when I am at the beginning, then when I am at the end. Changing things now is easy. Both at the way of working as well as the spec files, donated by somebody else, I must say. I know there are a lot of HOWTO's and README's and I still would like an honest opinion. I will treat any criticism as positive. Again, if you use it as a fixed instalation source, don't come crying if it is gone in a few hours, days, weeks or whatever. :-) houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Wanting to start packaging
by Dylan 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hi all, Having read the thread about packaging on the main list, I figure it's something I can turn my hand to. I have a few queries though... A - Is there a system for making sure there aren't multiple (possibly conflicting) rpms of the same app? B - Is space available for uploading the rpms, or do we need to sort that out ourselves?
