[opensuse-packaging] ldconfig - I'm frustrated
All, I sent the httrack package to security a couple weeks ago. It builds, but with a few rpmlint issues. I thought I would clean up the one about the shared library needing to be split out to its own package. I've tried to do that in home:gregfreemyer:branches:security > httrack The diff is: https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff?opackage=httrack&oproject=security&package=httrack&project=home%3Agregfreemyer%3Abranches%3Asecurity&rev=2 I've tried multiple ways to call ldconfig. But my build always fails with: [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhtsjava.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhttrack.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] This package contains a library and provides no %post scriptlet containing a [ 218s] call to ldconfig.

You need to move the ldconfig call to the libhttrack2 sub package: %post -n libhttrack2 -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -n libhttrack2 -p /sbin/ldconfig %post without -n <name> implies having the post on the main package; which in your case does not need it, as the lib lives in a sub - package.

You don't need it - the dynamic linker ld.so, e.g. on x86-64 it is /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, will first check the cache and then check the filesystem. Invoking ldconfig from ld.so would be really bad - and implementing ldconfig as a daemon is also not worth it. Still, library searching is costly and thus we require the ldconfig as an optimiziation.

If that would be possible it would be the most similar thing to (not existing) rpm file triggers. It could be used for new MIME types, extraction of applications supported mime types from .desktop files and regeneration of GTK icon cache. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Uh, it makes no sense to move functionality that belongs into rpm into some other component. How about moving into page installation into systemd? We should make rpm run ldconfig automatically.

From 4.9.0 changelog: "EXPERIMENTAL support for package "collections" which are sort of like named triggers that only run once within a transaction. This can be used for example to avoid redundant calls for cache updates etc. (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)"
I would be happier without that "EXPERIMENTAL" and "XXX add link to documentation once it exists". But if it can be done, absolutely! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

The idea is to put a trigger in whatever package provides ldconfig and make find-provides automatically add this trigger target in every package that provides a library? No that I think Mageia's file triggers patch is elegant. But it seems more flexible than virtual triggers.

Yes. Useful for lots of other stuff, too like adding/removing info pages, maybe creating users/groups etc.

I think it's pretty similar, the difference is that virtual triggers are more "explicit", i.e. you can query which packages trigger ldconfig.
If we ever have programs that update the caches atomically, how would virtual triggers pass the list of new libraries to ldconfig?
Hmm, I don't get that. Why would you pass a list of libraries to ldconfig?

Probably for ldconfig doesn't matter so much since it's quite fast. But there are other cache update programs that aren't so fast*, and the classic answer to that is: "pass the list of new entries to the program so it doesn't needs to regenerate the *full* cache each time". * gtk-update-icon-cache takes 8 seconds on my machine to update the hicolor and oxygen themes caches.

OK. The collections stuff is like this: - You add a "Collections: XXXXX" line to the preamble - rpmbuild stores XXXXX in the RPM. - When installed, rpm runs whatever %__collection_XXXXX (from /usr/lib/rpm/macros) is defined to in the user's machine. The %__collection_XXXXX thing run a "plugin". Right now there are only two -- exec.so and sepolicy.so --, installed in /usr/lib64/rpm-plugins/. exec.so is a generic one that will run whatever is the parameter. The plugin interface has six functions: rpmRC PLUGINHOOK_INIT_FUNC(rpmts ts, const char * name, const char * opts); rpmRC PLUGINHOOK_CLEANUP_FUNC(void); rpmRC PLUGINHOOK_OPENTE_FUNC(rpmte te); rpmRC PLUGINHOOK_COLL_POST_ANY_FUNC(void); rpmRC PLUGINHOOK_COLL_POST_ADD_FUNC(void); rpmRC PLUGINHOOK_COLL_PRE_REMOVE_FUNC(void); The exec.so plugin only runs in PLUGINHOOK_COLL_POST_ANY_FUNC; Having access to rpmte I guess you can do all kind of funny things. But in general we should have enough with exec.so. Conclusion: until the libzypp guys start to run more than a single RPM in each transaction we are not winning a lot here. There is not a big difference between adding a "%reconfigure_fonts_scriptlets" line to your .spec file as we do now, or a "Collections: font" line. But once the libzypp guys start using bigger transaction this will make them faster. In any case this doesn't solve the "we want to add a new scriptlet and it takes 5 years for all packages to be adapted" problem (gtk-update-icon-cache for all the packages with icons). We need one of: - Mandrivas's file triggers patch - Virtual triggers - find-collections so all packages with files under /usr/share/fonts/ would be automatically added to the "font" collections (and change %__collection_font to use fonts-config instead of fc-cache directly ;-) ) Possible for 12.3 + 1? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Oh, sorry, I forgot to followup to my mail.
I talked with Panu about the current state and how to proceed. We agreed that I implement the virtual triggers support and send a patch to the rpm-maint mailing list. The collection mechanism seems to be not in a usable state right now.

Well, for me sticking with RPM4 is basically done because of a const-benefit analysis. Switching to RPM5 is hard work (see the pain Mandriva had), and I don't see many things that we need that are in RPM5 and are missing from RPM4. Most of my time is spent developing for the open build service, the little time that is left for rpm is barely enough for doing some small hacks and updating to the latest minor version.

Uh, it makes no sense to move functionality that belongs into rpm into some other component. How about moving into page installation into systemd?
Do not say it too loud, or next year systemd can on-demand install RPMs as PackageKit & rpm replacement. Ciao, Marcius -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Don't worry, more likely systemd will implement any other functionality so that you simply don't need to install any other packages anymore. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

At least it will solve things installed without rpm - however the question is how much sane is to support that ...
We should make rpm run ldconfig automatically.

Well, then lets deprecate chroot in favor of systemd-nspawn ;-) But seriously - I am not pretty sure if systemd will handle that correctly, but what will happen if we will have the ldconfig-generator and ldconfig.service pulled in as dependencies, will the PID 1 act or not? If not, then unfortunatelly we have the counter-example of the systemd-way ... Regards Michal Vyskocil

Hth, Dominique
That being said, I wonder why we still need this in the first place, will it be possible to teach the linker to "keep an eye" on libraries already in the cache with inotify and rebuild it automagically when needed ?
You don't need it - the dynamic linker ld.so, e.g. on x86-64 it is /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, will first check the cache and then check the filesystem.
Invoking ldconfig from ld.so would be really bad - and implementing ldconfig as a daemon is also not worth it.
Hallo,
you don't need to do so - all you need is to have proper systemd generator reads the /etc/ld.conf and /etc/ld.conf.d/* to make the proper .path service

It would be better to have support in rpm for file triggers (we had a patch for that in Mandriva RPM since 2008 and I think it is slowly coming to upstream RPM, under the name "collection"). cf http://www.mail-archive.com/rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org/msg01534.html -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

All,
I sent the httrack package to security a couple weeks ago. It builds, but with a few rpmlint issues.
I thought I would clean up the one about the shared library needing to be split out to its own package.
I've tried to do that in home:gregfreemyer:branches:security > httrack
I've tried multiple ways to call ldconfig.
But my build always fails with:
[ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhtsjava.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] libhttrack2.x86_64: E: library-without-ldconfig-postin (Badness: 300) /usr/lib64/libhttrack.so.2.0.46 [ 218s] This package contains a library and provides no %post scriptlet containing a [ 218s] call to ldconfig.
You need to move the ldconfig call to the libhttrack2 sub package:
%post -n libhttrack2 -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -n libhttrack2 -p /sbin/ldconfig
%post without -n <name> implies having the post on the main package; which in your case does not need it, as the lib lives in a sub - package.

Thanks I updated one of the examples at: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_scriptlet_snippets#Shared_librarie... to have a sub-package. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
