I have not tried this with autoyast so ymmv, but yes, that is what I mean.

[opensuse] rebuilding dovecot 2.0.17 opensuse package on sles?
by Nicolas KOWALSKI 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hello, I am trying to rebuild the dovecot 2.0.17 opensuse package on a x86_64 SLES11-SP1 system, from the source rpm available here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail/SLE_11/src/dovecot20… The problem I have is at the end of the rpmbuild, about files that should be packaged below /usr/lib and/or /usr/lib64. The output is shown below. Any idea about what I am doing wrong ? - the command I used is: dev:/usr/src/packages/SPECS # rpmbuild -bb dovecot20.spec-2.0.17 - the end of output is: Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/dovecot/anvil /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth /usr/lib64/dovecot/checkpassword-reply /usr/lib64/dovecot/config /usr/lib64/dovecot/deliver /usr/lib64/dovecot/dict /usr/lib64/dovecot/director /usr/lib64/dovecot/dns-client /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm-server /usr/lib64/dovecot/dovecot-lda /usr/lib64/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ipc /usr/lib64/dovecot/listview /usr/lib64/dovecot/lmtp /usr/lib64/dovecot/log /usr/lib64/dovecot/maildirlock /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib64/dovecot/script /usr/lib64/dovecot/script-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ssl-params /usr/lib64/dovecot/tcpwrap RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/anvil File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/auth File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/checkpassword-reply File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/config File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/dict File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/director File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/dns-client File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm-server File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/gdbhelper File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/imap File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/ipc File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/listview File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/lmtp File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/log File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/maildirlock File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/script File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/script-login File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/ssl-params File not found: /var/tmp/dovecot20-2.0.17-build/usr/lib/dovecot/tcpwrap Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/dovecot/anvil /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth /usr/lib64/dovecot/checkpassword-reply /usr/lib64/dovecot/config /usr/lib64/dovecot/deliver /usr/lib64/dovecot/dict /usr/lib64/dovecot/director /usr/lib64/dovecot/dns-client /usr/lib64/dovecot/doveadm-server /usr/lib64/dovecot/dovecot-lda /usr/lib64/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ipc /usr/lib64/dovecot/listview /usr/lib64/dovecot/lmtp /usr/lib64/dovecot/log /usr/lib64/dovecot/maildirlock /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve /usr/lib64/dovecot/managesieve-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib64/dovecot/script /usr/lib64/dovecot/script-login /usr/lib64/dovecot/ssl-params /usr/lib64/dovecot/tcpwrap Thanks, -- Nicolas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mentor wanted for programming
by Roger Luedecke 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

I have rudimentary knowledge of C and C++, and have dabbled in Python. I have a basic understanding of OOP. I want to be able to actually contribute in code. Alot of ideas I have seem fairly simple, but I don't have the skill yet to really work on projects. It would be better if I could get an idea started before bothering to propose it to any teams. Ideally I would like to learn Qt, how to make RPMs, and how to use the OBS. Frankly though, I'm not too picky since there are a wide array of things I could work on that don't use those. I have a very hard time with books and such since I have a learning disability, but I learn very well with hands on stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is there a leak?
by Mark Misulich 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, I watched a video on YouTube the other night. When I was through watching it I emailed the url to a friend of mine via my isp's email. The email isn't connected to Yahoo or Google in any way. The next day I received emails from Yahoo with the urls of the video that I watched, plus others in the series. I also found out that I was signed up for a yahoo group that pertained to the video, all without my knowledge. Is there some kind of security leak in Opensuse 12.1 or Thunderbird that would allow this to happen? Maybe everyone else on the list knows why this is, but I am very surprised by it and don't understand why it happened. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Gnome2 vs. Gnome3. Why not just port the old environment to the new toolkit?

>From my understanding GTK3 is fine. The hated thing in Gnome 3 is the GnomeSHell.GTK 2 and 3 are compatible from what I understand. So, why aren't we simply maintaining or porting the old desktop stuff instead of using GNomeShell, as opposed to forks like MATE and Cinnamon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
