So a couple of questions how will these changes affect for example SLE rpms (I'm a SLED/SLES user as well) and if a user decided to use rpmbuild on an older system, will these changes break this?
Running rpmbuild outside protected environments (chroot, etc.), like Open Build Service provides, was never really supported (cf. bnc#176528 c4).
This is not the point. Are every changes above compatible to build the packages successfully for SLE11 or even older with SLE10? If not I won't follow the guidelines for every package since I want to have the same spec for Factory and SLE10 in worst case.
I seem to remember there was a short mention of ‘what about SLE?’ in the "Packaging Guidelines" 1-hour block on oSC2011 which was answered - (was it kkaempf who gave the response?) - like so, paraphrasing, ‘not your issue but mine’, implying that he or SUSE.com has to deal with SLE's divergence and not block changes in openSUSE. That said, the changes should work for SLE too; as I have not consciously added any constructs where I know they are not available on SLE10&11 (like %_initddir). If you get a SLE build failure, call me and you get an extra patch. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
