[opensuse-packaging] How can I produce two different builds of the same package?
Hi, I need to package a postgresql and a mysql build of the same package, I can do two different builds in the same spec file but the resulting libraries and binaries have the same names. Is there a way to create two rpms with the files from the resulting builds or use two spec files in the same package or am I going to have to rename all the files with the same names?

Thanks for the clue.
add to that the use of update-alternatives(8) to easily switch between those packages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Using more than one spec file is rather common in openSUSE packages. Some examples are graphviz or automake. The only drawback is that you have to keep two or more spec files in sync when you update the package.

It really depends whether you want to support the mysql and postgresql linked versions of your package bring installed simultaneously. If the answer is yes, then you either need to rename the file or at least put then on distinct paths and then use something like update- alternatives to allow your users to select which version they want.

You should use the cp (%__cp) command in the make section of the specfile. In case you want to install the files in directory, create the directory (%__install -d -m 755 ....) and move (%__mv) the files to the directory. Once you have done this, you can list them in the files section of the rpm
An idea I've just had is to place them in a different directory and use the %pre section to copy them across to %{_libdir}.
That's not the right way to do it! -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I think that the problem is misunderstood, bacula builds with either mysql, postgresql or sqlite support and the built libraries all have the same names but support the three different databases. So at the end of the %build process I have three sets of libraries to be installed in _libdir for bacula-mysql, bacula-postgresql and bacula-sqlite rpms and the last ones to be installed will overwrite the others. If there isn't a way to get osc to build with three different spec files then short of installing them in _libdir/bacula-mysql/, _libdir/bacula-posgresql/ and _libdir/bacula-sqlite/ and then moving them to _libdir in the %pre or %post section of the three different rpms then they have to be built in three different project packages. I once saw a package in build service with two spec files but I can't remember which one it was and whether more than one was used in the package build.

Hi, did you talk to Kern about modifying Bacula so that it builds these libraries into different names and dynamically loads the correct one? This would allow the user to actually have the DB backend as a configuration option. This could be as primitive as putting the various libraries into different subdirs of _libdir/bacula and adding the correct dir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the start script. IMHO any solution you make here should go upstream... An alternative is the use of update-alternatives as mentioned already in this thread. Any "hacking solution" as part of the RPMs or SPEC files is likely to produce much more management overhead for you as the maintainer. You could for example build different subpackages that exclude each other. But then the user would be confronted at installation time to choose the correct database, not so intuitive to the average user as a configuration option. Bottom line is, either Bacula solves this problem or you will have a lot of pain maintaining the RPMs. BTW, are you the author of the RPMs on http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=downloads? If not, maybe you look at the src.rpm that can be found there and how it builds the different DB backend RPMs... And of course you might merge your work back into the "official" Bacula SPEC file...

I based my original build on the spec file from upstream's source rpm and then adapted it for opensuse because their %post scripts don't work for suse and don't pass build service rpmlint test. I have a mysql package in Contrib but it seems there is a demand for postgresql and when I closed the bug for no x86_64 rpms for bacula, sqlite was also requested. You speak with great wisdom, if it's easy for upstream to combine the database support it will make life a lot easier for me in the long run. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Due to scheduling, this feature will not make it into the 3.2.0 release (due by end of Jan 2010), but will almost surely (99%) be in the release after that. Thanks for the suggestion. I probably will not add it to the project file, but do not worry, because it is well on track to be implemented already. Best regards, Kern On Sunday 22 November 2009 12:25:50 Christian wrote:

No.. You are going to mess the target system up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
I have thought of another possible way of temporarily solving the problem of three flavors of bacula but don't want to tread on any toes. I can specify different --libexecdir. --libdir and --sbindir for each package with wrappers in /sbin to run the actual binaries (haven't tried this yet). This is a workaround until a bacula is released that is configurable for all the databases or I can help upstream to produce opensuse compliant rpms.

ATM bacula can only be built for a specific database, the version in contrib is the mysql version, people are asking for postgresql, which my co-maintainer uses, and the sqlite version. The binaries produced by each build have the same names so this equals either two new packages besides the existing one or the use of update alternatives in the %pre sections of the spec file like vim. When bacula is released early next year with a configurable data base backend only one package and spec file will be needed. If multiple spec files worked in one package this wouldn't be a problem at all. Three seperate packages = three times as many hermes messages, three times as many working copies. Ok I concede that linking the other two to one helps decrease the amount of maintainance but the only difference between the three spec files are the package name and the line --with-mysql substituted with --with-postgresql substituted with --with-sqlite. I'm not complaining, I'll just carry on and get the job done in the best way I can. All I said was, it would be a nice feature if multiple spec builds were possible. I'm an unpaid community member who maintains three packages besides bacula and multiple spec builds in one package would make my life easier and maybe a few other people's.
