[opensuse-packaging] Still a long way to go on PHP.
Hi, all Yesterday I promise Ralf Lang <lang@b1-systems.de> that I would take care of long unmaintained package xinc. And I find there's still a long way to go on PHP. 1. we lack a wiki package. Portal:Packaging Packaging:PHP doesn't exist, and I have to refer to Fedora. to me, knowing nothing about PHP, I have to follow other packages' specfiles to find my way. a wiki page will help a lot. 2. we even lack a RPM Group named Development/Languages/PHP and many macros like %{__pear}, related rpmlint checks You can see /usr/lib/rpm/macro.php is nearly empty. macros.suse have no line of PHP. and rpmlint errors & warning seems ignore that series too. Hope this situation could change in the near future and some one developing it can see and fulfill our needs.

True.

2. we even lack a RPM Group named Development/Languages/PHP and many macros like %{__pear}, related rpmlint checks
We have macros for handling pear packages. refer the phpunit and horde packages in s:p:a to see how we use %php_pear_gen_filelist, %find_lang and %fdupes Most php libraries are in rpm group development/libraries/php pear packaged library files usually are named php5-pear-{library} or php5-pear-{channel}-{library}
You can see /usr/lib/rpm/macro.php is nearly empty. macros.suse have no line of PHP. and rpmlint errors& warning seems ignore that series too.
Hope this situation could change in the near future and some one developing it can see and fulfill our needs.

Most php libraries are in rpm group development/libraries/php

php5-pear-{library} or php5-pear-{channel}-{library}
Yes, I saw the usage of %php_pear_gen_filelist. and I saw the RPM Group in many pear packages is Development/Languages, which will prompt a "non-standard-group" warning. so maybe we still need that group. or an exception in rpmlint. and It seems (I haven't checked that) such usage like Requires: php5-channel(xinc) or Provides: php5-pear(xinc/xinc) = %{version}-%{release} which is mentioned in Fedora wiki is not supported yet.

Development/Libraries/PHP should not trigger warnings.

Use instead: BuildRequires: php5-pear-channel-xinc Requires: php5-pear-channel-xinc I will need to write some docs on all this, I currently just lack time. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer Tel.: +49-170-6381563 Mail: lang@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
