Hi All,
What is the preferred method for submitting a new package recommendation to the openSUSE project? While researching gui database frontends I located 'glom' and it looks extremely promising. There are currently packages available for Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo and Mandriva.
Sometimes, and only sometimes, it's not too hard to create your own rpm. If you can find the src rpm file, it's not too hard to edit the spec file and make the package yourself. Install the src rpm: rpm -ivh glom-x.x.src.rpm Then edit /usr/src/packages/SPECS/glom.spec Try to build it: rpmbuild -bb glom.spec Common issues will be that you need to install more *-devel packages for compiling purposes as well as changing the names of the dependencies listed in the spec file to the names of the corresponding suse rpm package names. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFHMjCTNTm8fWdRgmIRAmZpAKC1K1H/kwGkRC0T+0Ubp0NU/4FU1gCfeNzQ mPnwXY1bnSJBECvZEsyLcQs= =qaIN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
