[Rpm-ecosystem] IRC channels move to Libera.chat

2021-06-17 Thread Florian Festi
The recent developments in what used to be the freenode IRC network force us to look for a new home for our IRC channels. As a result we - as so many other projects - are moving to the Libera.chat network. Discussion about the RPM tool and project itself can continue in the #rpm channel there.

Re: [Rpm-ecosystem] Dynamic subpackages

2020-02-10 Thread Florian Festi
Ok, to translate this to a more generalized feature: Something needs to create those package declarations during build. For rust this may be done after %prep but the right time is probably after %install (or after %check). This way everything there is to be known about the build is on disk

[Rpm-ecosystem] New RPM-Extras repository

2018-03-27 Thread Florian Festi
Hi! For quite a while it has become apparent that there are many scripts, macro files and other rpm related pieces that all the different distributions maintain on their own. We have been trying to get some of this merged upstream but there is only so much that can be done there. Some things are

[Rpm-ecosystem] RFC #417 %optional file attribute

2018-03-26 Thread Florian Festi
Hi! We are currently pondering about #417 [1]. For adding a %optional file attribute that would allow adding file to to %files sections that may not be built under some circumstances (e.g. some architectures). It is already perfectly legal to have files not listed explicitly if they are within a

[Rpm-ecosystem] RFC: Better handling of per distro RPM macros

2016-03-04 Thread Florian Festi
Hi! Looking at the pull requests #37 and #38 [1] for a while I came to the conclusion that RPM macros are quite a mess. But I could not really come up with a way to get things cleaned up without breaking existing packages. In general it is clear that distros and possibly even single packages

My thought after the discussion so far: May be no one really cares about the syntax. Still a lot of educating to do before rich deps go into production. On 08/25/2015 02:11 PM, Florian Festi wrote: > IF Operator Guess we stay with (. IF . ELSE .) - even some people are more famil
