[opensuse-packaging] help getting started
Hi all New to the packaging world. Would like to build a few packages, such as gnomebaker (yes, one exists, but what the hell :>), LAT and firestarter. I read the tutorial on the opensuse wiki, but am wondering what url to put in these url_* lines. Can someone help me determine what I need to build my environment. I am looking for logic so that I can reproduce it without bothering people :) Thanks fred --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging-help@opensuse.org

You'll have some fun building the firestarter rpm if you use the spec file in the source archive as it relies on a couple of packages that SUSE don't supply, namely libuser[0] and usermode[1]. You'll also want libselinux-devel to build libuser, although libselinux doesn't appear to be supplied by SUSE for 10.1. I only had a go at building it because a friend had tried, couldn't build it and asked if I could figure out why[2]. I ended up building it on 10.0 64bit, as that is presently my main build machine. I've made a few modifications to the firestarter.spec: 1, I added a firestarter.desktop file, and call suse_update_desktop_files to install it in the menu structure; 2, I added a script so firestarter starts during the boot sequence[3]; 3, I set up a link so rcfirestarter is available. Since my friend has figured out why he couldn't build it, and has since built and installed it, I no longer have any reason to do anything more with it. However, I've dumped a copy of the source files, and the source RPMs I build at: <URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/firestarter/> [0] using the Fedora Core 4 source RPM from <URL:http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/4/i386/libuser-0.53.7-1.i386.htm l> [1] using the Fedora Core 4 source RPM from <URL:http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/4/i386/usermode-1.80-1.i386.html
[2] He was missing a gnome development library :| [3] This hasn't been tested as yet, although it does appear to be install properly.
