[zypp-devel] zypp contribution

Hello all, I'm following discreetly zypp development since a few months, the next zypp look very promising :) I'm currently using the factory version (in fact, the 10.3 with the last yast packages), so I test libzypp/zypper each days and sometime I report some bugs.

One thing which bothered me since I started hacking libzypp are the many warnings it spits out during compiling. Some are simply compiler warnings (e.g. about deprecated interfaces, initialization order or the like), and ideally should all be fixed. Some others are development reminders, ala #warning we still need to implement this frobatz thingy Those are of course harder to fix as they usually entail implementing or amending whole features. Still, also those would be nice to see go away. So, if you want to help there ... :-) I suggest, though, that you start with the jump_sat branch at: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/branches/tmp/ma/jump_sat/libzypp which will be what the upcoming libzypp will be. You need the satsolver libraries for that, which are at: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/sat-solver Ciao, Michael.

Hi Rémy Thanks for your interest! The best way to start is, add the zypp:svn repo from build service, and break your sy^H^H^H^Hadd the sat version of libzypp which will also replace some yast components. Then checkout the svn Michael Matz just posted, build instructions are here: http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Building Tell us when you reach the "I built libzypp and zypper and they run" state ;-) Duncan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

I have managed, of course, to break my system today :) I was running 10.3 + last yast factory packages, and that was the mess like hell when I try to install packages from zypp:svn. I then just downgrade all packages to "pure" 10.3, and all run fine now with all dependencies. Zypper compile as expected, but I have strange things with libzypp compilation that I was unable to solve myself. "make" get stuck at 79% and suddently stop and go out of the shell : ...

The only missing thing I can see in the cmake prebuild is :

Maybe have you a small tip for me ? :)
Rémy
I think that is fine, cmake sometimes does not estimate the 100% correctly, especially when you already build and cancelled before, or only a few files changes. You can try to go to build/test, make, and then ctest -A should give you around 93% testcases pass. I think you are ready for make install... Can you confirm? :-) Duncan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Ok, now sudo make install
and now compile zypper in a similar way, and also install it.
Done.

Today libzypp was merged to trunk, did you compile also trunk's libzypp? I merged stano's patch for keeping packages during the afternoon, I guess recompiling latest trunk libzypp should help.

Hello, I just retry with last trunk (r8760). Libzypp compile fine, but same error as above for zypper. Maybe something wrong in my install ? Rémy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Rémy
are you installing libzypp before compiling zypper? If you installed libzypp from zypp:svn you can safely install it in user ( -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ) Duncan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Hello, Yes, now that work ! (was installing in /opt/zypp.. stupid myself :) ) Thx for help. And now ? Rémy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Great! (tip: you can always compile a libzypp/zypper couple without affecting your system one, you can pass -DZYPP_PREFIX=/opt/zypp to zypper, it will work, then you will have trouble with YaST, but for testing a new libzypp/zypper pair, it is enough) I think you can start by testing zypper in some scenarios, and creating solver test cases for things not looking good. We have also lot of warnings everywhere, what is your knowledge of c++?

Thanks for the tip, will be usefull :) Sadly, my "pure" c++ skills are still basic I guess. During my studies (last 4 years), I've done mostly scripting language (Matlab/Octave, R, PHP/SQL,..). I've also worked with IDL (syntax similar to C) and have done little bit of Python and Java. Largely insufficient for pure hacking of libzypp, but I hope it's sufficient for basic stuff.
