[zypp-devel] PackageKit backend
by Lukas Appelhans 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hey! I'm currently working on a Summer of Code project, which includes adding PackageKit support to Muon (Discover). While my part is almost done, I found a bug in the zypp backend: 1) It reports that it supports the FilterNewest filter, but 2) When I call getPackages() I get all packages and not just the newest. (This can also be reproduced in apper, when just searching for packages, with the option to use the filter enabled.) The other thing I wanted to ask about is the availability of Appstream data in the opensuse repositories. From what I understood, the distributions tools should provide this data (the appdata.xml in your case) in /usr/share/app- info/, but I can only find the categories.xml file there. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks! Lukas PS: Please keep me CCed, as I'm not subscribed to the list!

Dear libzypp/libzypp-bindings developers, I am from Tizen Development Tools team, and we are trying to enable tools on Fedora 19, but we found libzypp-bindings build failed, log can be available here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:xiaoqiang0/libzypp-b… New boost-0.53 in Fedora 19 support c++11 features: http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_52_0.html , but swig does not support c++11 feature, which is planed to implement in GSoC 2013: https://github.com/swig/swig/wiki/GSoC-2013-ideas Without c++11 support in swig, swig will report syntax error, currently we have not found other good way to fix the build error. Any suggestion how to fix the build error? I have tried to downgrade boost in fedora 19 to fix, but any other good ways? Thanks Qiang

[zypp-devel] Relation between Products and <dist>-release package
by Nashif, Anas 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Hi, There seem to be a hard dependency between product definition and the <dist>-release package, when the release-package is updated, the product is being removed: Reading installed packages... Computing distribution upgrade... The following product is going to be REMOVED: XXXX Is the –release package a special package that can't be updated or am I missing something here?
