[opensuse-packaging] A .desktop file uses icon from another package
Hi! I have a question. I want to a package which heavily uses icons from another one. But the OBS system does not allow to built it: it says "icon file not installed" even though the dependency on a package that contains the necessary icon is included. What can I do to successfully install this package? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I'd try marking the files as %ghost in the %files section. The files need then not be packaged but they have to be present at the time the package is created.

But where I would get the files if they are included only in another package?.. Possibly just copy from the system tree to the root tree?.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

1) Put the package the icons are used from in BuildRequires: 2) Put that package also into Requires: The first will make sure the icon files are present at build time, the second will insure they're present in the system. If you don't want that other package to also be installed, Don't put it into Requires:, copy the icon files to your %buildroot and include them normally in your %files section.

Where you have the dependency? In "Requires" or "BuildRequires"? I think that it should be in both. In "BuildRequires" to provide the icon during install, to avoid error and In "Requires" to provide the icon the system, where package is installed. -- Adam "etamPL" Mizerski

The best way should be that one in my opinion... include the file with the icons as 'BuildRequires' and maybe insert a comment like: # WARNING: package foobar as BR to share icons BuildRequires: foobar Anyone coming across such would easilly know what is going on. NM

Rpm should pick up the requirement for the other icon package during build, if it doesn't you need to put in a Requires: for it. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I don't think it will - if you read on rpm's algorithm for autoreqprov[1], it only considers binaries and their dependencies, but data dependencies are another matter. Unless there's undocumented intelligence somewhere.
