[Mageia-dev] get-skype package for submission
I have been working on a package to install Skype current stable release and now feel that it is ready for submission for approval. It has already been improved/corrected/adapted many times following discussions on #mageia-mentoring where I have been given lots of help. The idea evolved here https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154 where the current version is available as an attachment. https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=551 It has been a challenge and I have learned a lot in working on this. :) Barry

I was just discussing that on IRC with Ahmad ;) I now have that working OK 2. On error you exit with || exit 1 but leave the files in /tmp, polluting it. OK - will fix 3. You cp files to %_datadir using a wildcard (*), but these files may not be removed on uninstallation as you only have filename lists for avatars/sounds/langs. While it may work now (I didn't test, I hope you did), this will cause unnoticed problems when the skype tarball contents change. The wildcard is used to move the remaining files which are all individually handled by touch and the dir is removed by a %ghost. I was just saving spec lines. Yes it does work fine and all files/dirs are removed on uninstall. The tarball contents can't change or the md5sum would fail :\ 4. Provide the script/commandline used to create the filelist files. Do you mean the avatars.txt etc. It was all done semi-manually, but I will write a script if necessary. It did cross my mind, but it was quicker to just copy/paste into txt files. I was assuming I could maintain it manually. 5. Versionize the filelist files to make sure they are renegerated when the package is updated to a new version (avatars-%version.txt) OK - again I was expecting to maintain it manually. 6. Your usage of /tmp seems unsafe security-wise. What if some user has created something under /tmp/skype-%version already? Hmm.. point taken Instead use mktemp to create a temporary directory. OK ... but: I can't figure out how to get a temp filename into a %define If I use %define mytmp $(mktemp -d -q) then every reference to the %define generates a new tmp file. How can I assign the output of a command expansion to a %define so it's evaluated only once on assignment? I can use a variable in %pre but that is invisible in %post as it's in another shell so I'm sorta stuck on that for now :( 7. You never remove the tarball, and the tarball is not %ghost. Will do - that was temporary for testing. Also BTW, here is a package of mine for gootleearth from 2006 that uses a similar system: http://www.zarb.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/plf/SPECS/non-free/googleearth/ No need to make it like that, just pointing it out in case there are some ideas you'd like to use. I'll take a look - thanks

Many thanks Guillaume
You'd better use an author-neutral URL for the sources, such as
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Sys/%{upstream_name}-%{upstream_version}.tar.gz
This way, if another maintainer submit a new version, the URL will stay
valid (and automatic update tool will work).
Yes - I learned something
The runtime depency on perl is useless: you can't install mageia without
perl anyway, and the minimal version isn't very helpful either.
Done
But you do need a build dependency (buildrequires) on perl-devel, as it
is a native perl package, you won't be able to build without it.
Done
you should not include the debug files (the .debug, and the source
files), they will be automatically included in the implicit
perl-Sys-Mmap-debug package. Especially as the path you're using here is
x86_64-specific :) So just forget them.
You should not own the %{perl_vendorlib} directory (it belongs to perl
package), but just the subdirectory %{perl_vendorlib}/Sys, which is the
base directory for your package files.
Thanks - that explains the problem with the debug etc. as well - they
were being listed as installed but not packaged hence my comment and
their inclusion ;)
The %clean section isn't needed anymore with rpm 4.8
OK sth else I learned.
Usually, the document files (%doc macro) are listed first, but that's
purely cosmetic.
Moved.
Some of your above comments would also apply to the current
perl-Sys-Mknod.spec which I used as a template ;)

The Mmap module lets you use mmap to map in a file as a perl variable rather
than reading the file into dynamically allocated memory. Multiple programs may
map the same file into memory, and immediately see changes by each other.
Memory may be allocated not attached to a file, and shared with subprocesses.

Also:- May I suggest that the icon view is NOT the default and that the details view be made default.

Proceed with the installation of the 7 packages? (Y/n) y snip-- OK testing so far with ZoneMinder:- For those not familiar with ZoneMinder, in brief:- ZoneMinder is a LAMP Web application for monitoring CCTV cameras, recording the video streams and serving them to LAN or WAN. It relies on a deep mysql database to store thousands of images in real time. It also uses mysql to store the log files and display them in a web browser in the ZoneMinder console. I installed mariadb this evening and after working around a minor mariadb packaging hiccup ;) (which is now apparently fixed in svn) I re-built ZoneMinder against it. There were no issues in the re-build and the application seems totally transparent to the change. There were no issues with my setup script which starts mysql, checks for an existing mysql password, offers to optionally create one, checks for an existing zm database and offers to use it, or replace it. I replaced it and a new one was created without problem. The script then started httpd and the ZoneMinder service. No problems at all. The only operational checks so far involve the logging database, but that is working fine. Unfortunately I cannot test under full working conditions without capture card or network cameras which I don't have connected to this hardware. I do have a server running ZoneMinder on mga1 with 8 cameras but until mga2 is released and settled for a while I won't be updating it. So in a nutshell as far as I have tested it just works out of the box. :) Barry

Removed %post and %postun scripts, rebuild courier-authlib and build courier-imap with new courier-authlib and all went just fine. Very strange. This was also confirmed by shlomif who hit the same errors prior to the addition of ldconfig. Maybe something else fixed this in the meantime. I will re-test in a new clean fully updated installation.

Yes - I was only reading something about that yesterday, however after installation of courier-authlib prior to the addition of ldconfig in %post and %postun, courier-imap would not build as it could not find a lib installed by courier-authlib. Can't reproduce your bug with up-to-date Cauldron chroots. Tried both i586 and x86_64. Removed %post and %postun scripts, rebuild courier-authlib and build courier-imap with new courier-authlib and all went just fine. Very strange. This was also confirmed by shlomif who hit the same errors prior to the addition of ldconfig. Maybe something else fixed this in the meantime. I will re-test in a new clean fully updated installation. I agree. I have tested several times. I have removed the scripts in courier-authlib in svn and bumped the release of courier-authlib and courier-imap, to force it to re-build as a final check. I wish I knew what fixed this issue. Thanks, Barry

Something after I switched to systemd broke it I think. Yes - I just realised earlier today that my nightly backups have not been running - since Jan 9th. !! After:- systemctl enable crond.service systemctl start crond.service It's now running and survives a reboot. I think this must have happened around the time that there were many systemd changes taking place. The status/settings shown in mcc-system-services are still incorrect but this is a known issue. Best to check using :- systemctl status servicename.service

[Mageia-dev] fatback - can we distribute it?
I have uploaded fatback to svn but would like a review regarding the license or rather the manual wording re. it's use before submitting. It is all explained in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1634 where I have also temporarily linked to copies of the rpms which are very small. It's probably quicker to install it and read the manual rather than digging in the sources. Barry

[Mageia-dev] oce (opencascade) license issues
I have been working on oce, but need help deciding on where to put it and with what license. Oce is the OPENCascade Community Edition. Earlier versions are/were packaged by Mdv and Fedora, and recently Deb has included it. It seems from OPENCascade's own license literature to be LGPL-like with differences. (but rpmlint is not happy with that). Fedora consider it non-free, but since all the source is available and redistributable I don't know why, so ignore my comment on line 1 of the spec. There are links in the spec to license references. Barry

I suspect that the BS will reject anything that issues an rpmlint warning - and everything I have tried so far does. e.g. LGPL-like I am also somewhat confused by the modular approach used by Debian to package this. It seems over-complicated, but I may be missing the point. I opted for a single library, -devel and main. Any thoughts on this?

All sys admin expect to have a tty on first console and just having starting dm service whereas I know it cannot start is really confusing. Cannot prefdm/X11/whatever be started on 7nd console like during the years 90th ? :) Ah, back at that one again. We had a lengthy and lively debate about this not so long ago where exactly this scenario came up. Don't remember whether it was on this list or the -discuss list. What is even more confusing currently is that switching to tty2, logging in as root and running 'systemctl restart prefdm.service' restarts the dm back on tty7 anyway :/

And if the packager doesn't notice this, he would think all is fine. unless someone notice an error and think some of them should be resubmitted. mdv-youri-core I would think this is a forgotten build. No, this is obsolete, this was a mdv fork of youri libs for the build system but we have switched to upstream ones (for this part at least) mdvsys fatback Recently imported. Someone forgot to submit, the build failed or they are holding submittion untill after final release, is my theory. re. fatback I will need a decision about the license before submitting. I feel there is no problem, but want to be sure. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1634 I was waiting until after mga2 - it's low priority. re. oce It's a require for FreeCAD which I was working on, but due to lack of time and problems with other requires, it's currently on hold. Please keep them both for now. Thanks Barry

[Mageia-dev] grub2 integration into installer and drakx tools
We already have a grub2 package which needs integrating into Mageia tools. This is beyond my capabilities, so I am calling for developers who are able to do this work. The package already handles kernel updates. The installer, drakboot etc. will need some work.

I think I can see where you are heading.
Grub2 generates it own grub.cfg using os-prober, so maybe some work not
needed.
Additional entries to the grub2 menu (anything not found by os-prober)
need adding to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and are incuded when the menu is
re-built. If thay are added to grub.cfg they will be overwritten at
kernel update etc.
I have attached grub.cfg and menu.lst from a vbox installation of mga3
running grub2. It is a lot less noisy than those on my desktop.
For basic grub2 commands see my README.Mageia in the package.

I don't agree If someone wants to install a mixer, pulesaudio in the list will probably confuse him As I was saying earlier, no group classification is perfect. In the situation you describe, having pulseaudio in System/Base would be even more confusing. But if you were to choose between Sound/Editors and Convertors, Sound/Midi, Sound/Mixers, Sound/Players, Sound/Utilities, Sound/Visualization, where would you look first? You know none fits perfectly, I know that as well, even less for pulseaudio-module-jack or pulseaudio-module-bluetooth. But before everyting was in Sound: so confusing is maximum. Now it becomes a bit (but only a bit) easier. That's the point. Or perhaps PA should just go in System/Base? No. It only drowns it in the crowd of completely unrelated packages. Do you expect someone to want to manually install pulseaudio after removing it, and search it in mixers? Yes. By the principle of Where else? :-) Cheers, Can it not stay in the top level Sound or does everything *have* to be in a sub group?

[Mageia-dev] Small project for a Python programmer
OK here's the challenge. When we view rpm specs in svn using viewvc like this :- http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/acidrip/current/SPECS/acidrip.spec?view=markup ...the highlighting is incorrect, because viewvc uses pygments to generate the language highlighting and it sadly has no lexer for rpm spec files. In many cases the highlighting is totally wrong like this:- http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/abiword/current/SPECS/abiword.spec?revision=304568view=markup ...as viewvc makes an incorrect assumption about the lexer needed, based on a parse of the first line. It's horrible. What is needed is a lexer for rpm spec files. This would not be too difficult for an experienced Python programmer as the building blocks are all in place within pygments :- http://pygments.org/docs/lexerdevelopment/ If you view any spec file using the kate editor, you will see the style of highlighting that is needed. Not only would this benefit Mageia, but all projects using rpm and viewvc. So that's the challenge - anyone up for it? :)

I wrote the attached script. It checks several mirrors until it finds
one that has the normal number of files and does not fail for any other
reason.
Currently I have distrib-coffee at the top of the possible mirror list,
but it is skipped because it only has a fraction of the files yet.
It creates a couple of logs and runs as a cron job (or manually).
If you feel inclined to use it please feel free to suggest any improvements.
I certainly feel safer now.

It won't exclude the things I say it should exclude.
My copy have this line:

It does Not exclude them. (Note that I am excluding all debug and _testing
folders, but Not SRPMS)
That line used in my manuall rsync command, works. They are excluded.
So, why won't this work in cronsync?
Hi Johnny,
Sorry for delay - I missed the post.
It's your syntax.
This works using your excludes with the syntax in line 20 of this new
script.
http://paste.kde.org/598076/
I fixed another bug and changed it slightly to better display rsync
errors in the log.
I have not seen any problems recently and it's running every hour. It
currently keeps a filecount history log as well, but that's just for
interest and testing.
The problem with your syntax seems to be related to the {} - I don't
fully understand why, but it causes a pair of ' to be wrapped around the
--exclude option in the final rsync command :
rsync -rlptgoDhHSn --stats --delete-after --delete-excluded
--protect-args '--exclude={debug/,backports_testing,updates_testing/}'
rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr:/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib
/zmrepo/pub/linux/Mageia/
With my syntax it appears like this:-
rsync -rlptgoDhHSn --progress --stats --delete-after --max-delete=1000
--delete-excluded --protect-args --exclude=debug
--exclude=backports_testing --exclude=updates_testing
rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr:/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib
/zmrepo/pub/linux/Mageia/

You can't submit it because your main package (Name: libqwt5) and
library package for i586 (%define libname %mklibname qwt %{major})
have the same name. As main package contains no files i would
probably rename it to qwt (Name %realname), but i'm not 100% sure if
that's the right thing to do. Packagers with more knowledge may have
better ideas.
Renaming also affects to the src pkg name and IMHO it's not how it
should be done.
Just remembered one similar case. Dunno if this helps, but look how it's
made in libraw1394_8 pkg.

It's all sorted out. Python-qwt is now build against the old libqwt5 [1]. Maybe you should build gnuradio against the old one (libqwt5-devel) too.. [1] http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/python-qwt/current/SPECS/python-qwt.spec?revision=319494view=markup Well there still seems to be something wrong. The gnuradio spec originally had: Buildrequires: libqwt-devel That now pulls in libqwt6, while python-qwt is using libqwt5. If I use: BuildRequires: libqwt5-devel in the spec, it builds OK, but rpmlint (run on the srpm) says: W: invalid-build-requires libqwt5-devel and $ urpmq --requires-recursive gnuradio | grep qwt lib64qwt5 lib64qwt6 python-qwt So it's requiring a mix of majors which does not look good :\ If I remove the BuildRequire on libqwt the build fails as qwt is not found during the CMake configure. Maybe someone can see something in the build log: http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/log/gnuradio-3.6.2-4.mga3.src.rpm/build.0.2012112514.log This is the deps -install log, and I see nothing libqwt6 related. http://mtf.no-ip.co.uk/pub/linux/barjac/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/log/gnuradio-3.6.2-4.mga3.src.rpm/install_deps-1.0.2012112514.log Those are both from a successful build with BuildRequires: libqwt5-devel in the spec. It's late I'll sleep on it, been at this all day - gnuradio is a long build :(

Hi - thanks. Ah, so are you saying that file should be in maybe a qwt-designer-plugin package? Also I don't see how libqwt (6) and libqwt5 can be maintained from one spec. How can an update be made to libqwt5 now that the spec is modified for 6 ? This is not my package and I really don't have time for all this hassle. This change has broken several packages all of which were previously working. Can this mess be reverted and started again with some prior planning and testing?
