[opensuse-packaging] y2pmbuild and suse-update sources
Hello, I just made my first experience with y2pmbuild and packed some applications and libraries. All worked fine. Yet I would like to pack a kernel-module and later install it on my system. Through yast online-update I managed to have kernel-2.6.16.21 installed on my box. But when I try to build the module with y2pmbuild I get an rpm-file which is built on kernel-2.6.16.13. My dists_common file looks like this: ****snip***** # additional sources, specify with url_... add_sources="suse susenonoss" # suse here is the one from $add_sources url_suse="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source..." url_susenonoss="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-ins..." url_suseupdate="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/pub/suse/update/10.1" *****snip***** Don't care about the hard-coded version in the sources yet (I know how to replace it with a more general formulation, but had no need to do it so far). Seemingly it is not possible to add the source suseupdate by replacing the add_sources-tag with add_sources="suse susenonoss suseupdate". This results in a lot of unresolved conflicts in the initialization of y2pmbuild. Does somebody know a workaround? Thanks in advance Regards David Keller

This is because the update repos are in the rpm-md format which knows nothing about file provides (like /bin/sh) but contains files that need this. The only way i know to workaround this is to transfer them into the yast2 format with the EXTRA_PROV file from the 10.1 repos. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die. In the rain.

Hi, Thanks for your answer.

That would actually explain the errors I got concerning e.g. /bin/sh.

I guess you meant this file: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source... Doesn't it look quite short? Could you please give me some further hint how to convert it into yast2 format and howto get it loaded from y2pmbuild? Thanks a lot Regards David Keller

Yes this one.

You need to change the repository so you cant use one from the mirrors directly. You have to download it to your local harddisk and create the metadata. See http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources#YaST_Sources for details. I have a script that does this on my buildhost. Looks like this http://hennevogel.de/~hvogel/netsourcesync.sh You can exchange the directory to download too and get the EXTRA_PROV file with wget but everything else should be ok.
