[opensuse-packaging] [ANN] New packages of Tidy and W3C Markup Validator available
Hi all! Several days ago, I have packaged new packages of tidy and w3c-markup-validator via the openSUSE Build Service to be in sync with the most recent release state of their original project. They are available via http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Tidy/ and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/validators/ . The Build Service has had, for whatever reason, difficulties, to successfully finish building the packages for Factory Builds (SUSE_Linux_Factory). Please take a look at it, why these Factory Builds can't be built and saved successfully (they build, but while finishing and saving the RPMs, the build process stops for a reason unknown to me). I would be glad to see these packages being updated in the upcoming openSUSE 11.1 (the tidy packages in the official openSUSE 11.0 haven't been updated for whatever reason since a long time, although the Build Service provides the newest tidy packages maintained and regulary updated by me). Tidy note: ======= there does NOT exist an official release version of tidy. The most recent CVS HEAD version always is the most recent stable version. The official version string of tidy is a date string in tidy/src/version.h. That's why I name the tidy packages with two dates: the official date string of tidy/src/version.h and the date string of my CVS checkout. Because the date string in tidy/src/version.h only changes from time to time, when there have been core changes to the TidyLib. But not all changes in the sources of Tidy concern such core changes, often there are changes in the tidy project's environment, and the version string in tidy/src/version.h remains untouched. That's why I name the tidy packages for openSUSE with *both* date strings. I have had a little email correspondence with one of the tidy developers some month ago, and he told me about that versionning. He told me officially, that Tidy has no official versionning, that therefore there exists a version/date string in /ti dy/src/version.h (currently this is: static const char TY_(release_date)[] = "14 October 2008";), and that because auf that, we are free to name and version the resulting RPM packages to our needs.

It is a bit late now. You could have submitted them earlier in the development cycle using the collaboration feature of the build service. Hub -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
