[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

Dear All, this is an error, I get upon building SpamAssassin on older OSS versions (<11.3); is this a thing, that should be globally fixed?

[opensuse-packaging] A program cannot find the linked library in runtime
by Ilya Chernykh 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi! I have the following problem: a program builds well, it is linked, automatically found dependencies and so on. When installing the package it automatically installs the libraries with which it was built. But when trying to run it is says: error while loading shared libraries: libqwtplot3d.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The library actually exists in the system. What should I do? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-packaging] Valid Category for astrology program
by Paul Elliott 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

I am looking for a technically valid value for this line: %suse_update_desktop_file -r %{dir_name} XXX for an astrology program. I do not want to stir up controversy, because I have a lot of planets in Libra -:) I am looking for a value that has these 3 features: 1) will be accepted without error or warning by the build system. 2) will take no position on the status of astrology i.e. 2a) will not disparage astrology by calling it a game or entertainment 2b) will not anger the astrology rejectors by calling it a science. Note the recent controversy in India! 3) will be true so far as it goes (I suspect something under graphics, all will agree that astrology programs produce graphical output.) I believe that packagers should package programs accurately in a way that does not impose one's own views on controversial issues. Please, the jokes are obvious. Please avoid obvious jokes. I am looking for a sincere answer. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

[opensuse-packaging] font packageing policy
by Paul Elliott 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

The opensuse Packaging/Fonts Policy http://old-en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Fonts_Policy#Package_layout_for_fonts still contains numerous references to fedora! I am glad the two cos are working together, but.... Do I understand correctly that if my package has only one font, I still must split that one font into a seperate package??? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

[opensuse-packaging] undefined reference to wxXmlNode::GetNodeContent() const
by Paul Elliott 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

I am trying to package a program called maitreya using obs. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=rpm&project=home%3Apelliott… for opensuse and mandrivia I am getting an undefined reference to wxXmlNode::GetNodeContent() const when compiling textclient.o The program builds correctly for fedora, as well as debian and ubuntu 10.10. Can anyone tell if this problem is caused by opensuse's distro or the upstream source? Is there perhaps an undocumented dependancy I need to add? The Program uses wxWidgets-devel. Could the readme refering to %wx_requires be the cause of this problem? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
