Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-03-17 ========================================== Present: nadvornik, sbrabec, mkudlvasr, puzel, jmatejek, prusnak, mseben, mhrusecky Minutes: mvyskocil Topics: (1) Build rpms for SUSE using BitBake (2) lib64 default in autoconf's configure (3) RPM version for popcon: popcorn (4) Installation of restricted content proposal (5) Status reports (1) Build rpms for SUSE using BitBake ===================================== BitBake[1] and OpenEmbedded[2] is an advanced package building environment based on simple recipes and package classes. sbrabec works on a setup that will allow to build packages for openSUSE there. [1] http://developer.berlios.de/projects/bitbake/ [2] http://www.openembedded.org/ (2) lib64 default in autoconf's configure ========================================= ./configure: Default to lib64. It is possible to default to /usr/local/lib64 while calling ./configure without arguments. Should it be done by default? [1] [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=382344 (3) RPM version for popcon: popcorn =================================== prusnak wrote a popularity-contest alternative for RPM distros. This was announced on [2]. However this package could not be submitted to Factory now, because we have no server to send the results to. Prusnak sent an e-mail to Peter Poeml, but he is probably on vacation, so we have to wait further [2] http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2009/03/popcorn-popularity-contest-for-rpm/ (4) Installation of restricted content proposal =============================================== Sometimes is necessary install a content which is under some restrictions (patents, copyrights) which prevents us to include it to openSUSE, but is necessary for our users. Two biggest examples are: multimedia support and device drivers (firmware). puzel wrote a proposal of ease installation of restricted software for openSUSE.
