[opensuse-packaging] Right usage of libexecdir?
by Vincent Untz 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hey, Dominique and I are currently wondering what to do wrt libexecdir for evolution-data-server. Should we leave it unchanged (so files will be in /usr/lib) or should we change it to /usr/lib/evolution-data-server? If the latter, is there any reason this is not done automatically? Also, hrm, would rpmlint have ways to warn about packages that put binaries in libdir instead of libexecdir? (I can find a few of them here with a grep) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] splitting runlevel scripts
by Olaf Hering 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

A runlevel script X without further dependencies was split into X and Y. Now Y needs to be started before X. Both scripts are in the same rpm package. Adding '# Required-Start: Y' to script X will break updating the package because there seems to be no way to get Y enabled during the package update. For fresh install this may work. %post %{fillup_and_insserv -y -n Y Y} %{fillup_and_insserv -y -n X X} But for upgrade there is appearently no way to enable Y only if X is already active. How is this situation supposed to be handled, cleanly?

[opensuse-packaging] error: Your package contains a single shared library but is not named after its SONAME.
by Greg KH 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I'm trying to package up the liboauth library (needed for my bti tool as twitter is about to require oauth authentication soon) and I'm getting the following error from rpmlint: liboauth.i586: E: shlib-policy-name-error (Badness: 10000) liboauth0 Your package contains a single shared library but is not named after its SONAME. My .spec file seems sane and simple, yet I can't figure out the real issue here. Odds are it's a problem in the original package, as I can't see any other distro packaging it yet and it's very new. My package is at: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=liboauth&project=home%3Agre… if anyone wants to take a look at it and tell me how badly I messed it up :) And yes, I did read the information at: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy but can't find anything relevant to this issue there, but I might be totally missing the relevant portion. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

Since the soname of the library is liboauth.so.0 the package that contain it must be named liboauth0, but your package is named liboauth (lacks the 0 at the end). You just need to rename it. Note that the devel package must be named liboauth-devel, not liboauth0-devel. So you can't do "%package devel", instead you will need "%package -n liboauth-devel". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] "self-updating" packages ;-)
by Cristian Rodríguez 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi: I wonder if there is anyway to programatically tell the buildservice: 1) execute script X 2) if that succedeeds and there are diferences in the "working copy" , attempt to "compile", if success, create submit request. This can be useful for example for documentation packages that do not really need to be compiled, just packaged and published. Thanks

[opensuse-packaging] Need help in freetype & fontconfig build breakages in OBS
by Anshul Jain 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, I have a question regarding some build breakages with the freetype and fontconfig packages in my OBS. I'm patching freetype and fontconfig with some specific cherry-picked patches from Ubuntu in my OBS athttp://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anshuljain: for 11.3. I've done these for 11.2 successfully in the past and they've worked perfectly. I'm getting build breakage errors for freetype (live build log at:- https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=i586&package=freetyp…) and fontconfig (https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log?arch=i586&package=fontcon…). The patches get applied successfully, and the problems occur during the configure or final packaging moments. The strange part is that I've been able to build these with no problems on my laptop. Its the OBS which is giving me errors. I'd appreciate some help :) Regards Anshul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org
