We can use the same way as package fetchmsttfonts. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=fetchmsttfonts&project=openSUSE%3AFactory -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Thomas, splitting root into subpackages it may make sense from the point of view of the developers and edge users... the mainstream user wants the things just installed and does not care about these subtleties... I propose you to create a binary package eg root, -devel, -doc and -examples if any... what is important with root would be to have all or almost all the capabilities on at build time and installed. this we can solve later. it is useful if one want different versions of the lib installed in parallel... regards, Alin On Sun 25 Nov 2012 11:03:26 Thomas Zimmermann wrote:

Hi, I'm working on packaging the ROOT analysis framework, and need some advices. The package is currently located in the science project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=root&project=science

The special thing about root is that it contains a C interpreter, cint. Therefore root needs all the header files of the framework librarys to run.

I don't know how I should add these depencies on the devel packages. The libraries itself do not depend on the devel package, and the root-bin package also does not depend on the devel packages. But when a library is installed cint needs the corresponding -devel package of this library to use it. I think making every library depend on its devel package is not so nice, but in principle this is what is needed...

Another thing are dependencies between devel packages. Because some header files include header files from other librarys one needs also the other library and devel package to be used by with cint. Is it possible to resolve such dependencies an automatical way? Doing this by hand will be a lot of work...

And when someone can give me some hints about resolving some of these rpmlint warnings I would be happy: * unstripped-binary-or-object * shlib-policy-missing-lib * devel-file-in-non-devel-package (These files are required by cint, and therefore can not go in a devel package)

There are init scripts for ROOT daemons in package, but openSUSE 12.3 will provide only systemd. Do you have plan of the migration to systemd? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
