[opensuse] Soon giving up on openSUSE
Hi all, Well, I have been trying to switch to openSUSE from Ubuntu, but I cant get this to work. I need to upgrade a package that is installed by the default, orca and at-spi. I usually check out the latest trunk through svn. I have been trying to do zypper si -d orca at-spi but the source packages are not available and so i am not able to build the dependencies so that i can compile and install the new versions. On ubuntu i could just issue: sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca at-spi and everything went just fine. So I then suppose i will need to go the hard way and obtaining all dependencies myself.

This would work if 1) you enable the source repository, try 'zypper lr' to check if it's already there. To enable it, use 'zypper mr -e ...'. If it's not there, use 'zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ repo-source' 2) the source repository contained dependencies. Unfortunately this isn't the case due to a bug in the repository creation script.

Cheers, Michael. First, many thanks for all the help. The repository was already there so I tried: zypper mr -e ... but it didn't work. Is this correct? Many thanks, Christian

You have to substitute the '...' with a number. For me, zypper lr says # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh --+---------------------------+---------------------------+---------+-------- 1 | KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop | KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop | Yes | Yes 2 | openSUSE 11.1-0 | openSUSE 11.1-0 | Yes | Yes 3 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.1-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes 4 | repo-source | openSUSE-11.1-Source | Yes | Yes 5 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.1-Update | No | Yes so I'd use 'zypper mr -e 4' But 'zypper si' still won't work because of 2), this needs to be fixed on our side.

What version are you trying to complile? I notice that 2.2 is listed as the latest and greatest. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

if I understand correctly, you want to use a package of orca and at-spi with the latest SVN version, right? If so, you're lucky because we are packaging 2.25 releases as they are announced in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Factory:/Next/ , so that should have the latest 2.25.x release from upstream. No need to build anything, just install the packages from there (and report any error you find, it's a work-in-progress) You can even help Magnus (CCed) in the packaging of new versions if you're interested in having the very latest -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
