Hello,
I noticed that the S3QL OpenSUSE package at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=s3ql&project=filesystems lags far behind the upstream version and has also failed to build for quite some time.
Is there anything I can do (as the upstream developer) to help getting this fixed? I'm not familiar with either OpenSUSE or RPM packaging (long-time Debian user), but I'd be happy to assist in any way I can. I tried to update to current version, but still having some problems. Perhaps you can help fixing the failed builds.
look here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Acomputersalat%3Abranc...
I clicked on "build errors" and then on "failed" under "openSUSE_11.4 x86_64". If I'm looking at the right output, then this just says that some module could not be loaded. The stupid Python unittest2 module hides the real error message behind a generic "can't load test". My guess is that there is no llfuse Python module installed in the build environment. Could that be it? Could you temporarily insert a call to bin/mount.s3ql --help before the call to setup.py test? This should fail with a more helpful error message.
P.S.: Is there really need to have python >= 2.6.6 ? This would work only for openSUSE >= 11.4
Can you incorporate a patch in the RPM? If so, you could reuse the patch that's used in the Ubuntu Lucid package, which makes S3QL compatible with any Python 2.6. You can download it at https://launchpad.net/~nikratio/+archive/s3ql/+files/s3ql_1.8.1-1%7Elucid1.d..., the patch is in debian/patches.
