[opensuse-packaging] Import of Fedora Packaging Guidelines
by Michal Vyskocil 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hi all, as you know I wrote a post about Fedora Packaging Guidelines [1]. I was working on it during last three weeks (but a little, so it takes a long time :)) and nowadays I'm ready to import a Fedora's content to en.opensuse.org wiki. Now it is on pack.suse.cz [2]. I also checked that none of that page conflicts with an existing content on openSUSE wiki, so it can be imported easily. Tom Callaway [3] from RedHat confirms me that a Guidelines are under Open Publication License [4] and we can use it for SUSE without restrictions. He was also interested on future collaboration and offers some meeting on LinuxTag - it would be nice if anyone from SUSE will be ready to start a discussion. Before import I'd like to ask: Which pages should be excluded for openSUSE? Some pages seems that they are not interesting for SUSE (like Packaging:OldJPackagePolicy [5], Packaging:SugarActivities [6]). Import it, or don't? Second one is how to edit the text and adapt it for SUSE? Change the existing text or leave it and add a SUSE specifics to the beginning or end of page (as suggests Vladimir)? The second way should help us with synchronizing of changes. After that I'll add a warning [7] on the beginning of every page to prevent that some users will use those guidelines and ask for help with editing ;-) [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-02/msg00043.html [2] http://pack.suse.cz/mvyskocil/fedora-packaging-guidelines/ [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Licenses/OPL [5] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:OldJPackagePolicy [6] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SugarActivityGuidelines [7] http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Warning1 Best regards Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] /etc/modprobe.* changes
by Michal Marek 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi, the new module-init-tools, which will appear in Factory soon, deprecated /etc/modprobe.conf(.local) and only uses /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf configuration files (files without the .conf suffix are still read, but cause a warning). I tried to find and fix packages that install modprobe config files, but in case I missed some, the fix is simple: change /etc/modprobe.d/$name to /etc/modprobe.d/50-$name.conf. Also, mkinitrd should be updated to not copy /etc/modprobe.conf* if it's not there.

[opensuse-packaging] Dropping python-numeric
by Jan Matejek 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear fellow packagers, for 11.2 i plan to drop the package python-numeric. Reasons? Well, it's long abandoned original version of a project that is now called NumPy. NumPy is not source compatible with Numeric, so it lives in its own package called python-numpy. New(er) projects that used to depend on Numeric now depend on NumPy. If your package depends on python-numeric, please review it. It's likely that you will be able to either remove the dependency, or painlessly switch to python-numpy. If not, say so now or be silent forever ;e) PDB says that there's an explicit dependency on python-numeric in these packages: package-lists-openSUSE-KDE-cd package-lists-openSUSE package-lists-openSUSE-GNOME-cd package-lists-openSUSE-images (i assume that it's because of some of the following) dia fonttools python-wxGTK-examples python-gtk pythoncad python-gnome-extras python-gnome inkscape python-gtk and python-gnome are mine, i'll handle them; i'm Ccing maintainers of the others. regards m. - -- (if you have any comments, please CC me in the reply, otherwise my replies will break threads. that is a bug in my way of using the mailinglist, which is not yet fixed) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknSFkIACgkQjBrWA+AvBr93aACgh5a2Q2cI4UC8MKaBxEyDtDXU W6AAoK1rL/RugrjRHmsfXzZ1KkkNWKR1 =TIbW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] skrooge 0.2.6
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hello Mates, actualy i'm try to build skrooge. But in the CMakeLists.txt is the following: ########### install files ############### INSTALL(TARGETS skrooge DESTINATION ${BIN_INSTALL_DIR} ) INSTALL(FILES ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/skrooge.desktop DESTINATION ${XDG_APPS_INSTALL_DIR} ) #INSTALL(FILES ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/skrooge.desktop DESTINATION ${XDG_APPS_INSTALL_DIR}/../kde/ ) #CORRECTION BUG 2256687 on ubuntu 8.04 INSTALL(FILES ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/x-skg.desktop DESTINATION ${MIME_INSTALL_DIR}/application/ ) INSTALL(DIRECTORY theme DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/skrooge FILES_MATCHING PATTERN "*.css" PATTERN ".svn" EXCLUDE PATTERN "CMakeFiles" EXCLUDE) kde4_install_icons( ${ICON_INSTALL_DIR} ) That means, that i have 2 *.desktop Files (skrooge.desktop and x- skg.desktop). So i have placed in the Spec: %suse_update_desktop_file skrooge Finance But now comes the Error: + /usr/lib/rpm/suse_update_desktop_file.sh -- project 'home:saigkill / openSUSE_Factory' --project home:saigkill -- basedir /usr/src/packages/SRPMS skrooge Finance + /usr/lib/rpm/suse_update_desktop_file.sh --project 'home:saigkill / openSUSE_Factory' --project home:saigkill --basedir /usr/src/packages/SRPMS -i skrooge Office Finance `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/skrooge-0.2.6/skrooge/skrooge.desktop' -> `/var/tmp/kde4-skrooge-0.2.6- build/usr/share/applications/skrooge.desktop' ERROR: suse_update_desktop_file: skrooge has multiple desktop files I the last Version i have comment out the desktop Files in CMakeLists.txt and create my own skrooge.desktop. But i think it is not good that x-skg.desktop is missing. Is it possible to fix this? -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service openSUSE Features Screening Team Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] games group and setgid
by Cristian Morales Vega 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

How is the games group supposed to be used? Tower Toppler want to set itself in the games group with setgid set so it can write on a global hiscore file also set at games group. It seems ok to me, but rpmlint complains about the setgid. Should I ignore rpmlint or it is correct and users able to play games are supposed to be in the games group to start with? If my memory doesn't fails in openSUSE, by default, users aren't in the games group... since an user that plays games hasn't to know about users and groups that would be a bug. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

25 Mar '09

Hi, what is the proposed way to mirror SLE11 Updates? yup is not included in SLE11, 11.1 and factory. And the SLE10 yup does not do it. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] License for a repository?
by Lubos Lunak 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Hello, I would like to add a license to some repositories, similarly like the main oss repository has (in order to provide some information about the repository users should know). Looking at the oss repo I found out this is handled by the license.tar.gz file in the root repo directory, but I have't managed to find out any details about it. While I can guess the format for it, I have no idea how to actually add such a file to a repository in the OBS. Can somebody provide me some information about this?
