A look at VR and R in subpackages
by Michael Schwendt 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

For the problem of making rpmdev-bumpspec handle subpackages that explicitly specify a Release tag, I've examined the repo metadata for all packages in F20 plus updates-testing plus RPM Fusion free. * Only four packages define subpackages with a Version and Release tag that differs from the base package. * Just almost two dozen packages define subpackages with a Version tag that differs from the base package. Some of these may not be trivial to bump for a human packager either, because of the problem that one must not reset a subpackage %release when the base package %release is reset during a %version upgrade. Some of the packages in this list use lots of macros to build something that enters the Release tag definition for subpackages. Where this is not anything recognized by rpmdev-bumpspec, such as the %baserelease macro or a value derived from base %release, the script will continue to bump Release tags at the very right (= least-significant) location because it doesn't know better. ;-) The special multi-subpackage spec files I've found and tested with are: Different VR: ['Saaghar', 'linux-firmware', 'openssh', 'texlive'] Only different R: [] Only different V: ['antlr3', 'beesu', 'bpg-fonts', 'brltty', 'ding-libs', 'eclipse-linuxtools', 'festival', 'ganglia', 'ghc', 'haskell-platform', 'iaxclient', 'lpg', 'lvm2', 'nhn-nanum-fonts', 'openlmi-scripts', 'perl', 'perl-PBS', 'ruby', 'svxlink', 'texlive', 'thunderbird-lightning', 'trustedqsl', 'xonotic']

Avoid an embedded font in a package
by Mario Blättermann 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, while packaging the SDL game hex-a-hop [1], I stumbled upon an embedded font which is already in Fedora. It is Liberation Serif. What to do in this case? I would remove the embedded file and create a symlink from the liberation-fonts package to hex-a-hop, but this would cause a dangling symlink. Another solution would be to tell the configure script which font file should be used, but I have't found the solution yet. [1] https://sourceforge.net/projects/hexahop/ Best Regards, Mario

Node.js guidelines update never merged
by T.C. Hollingsworth 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi FPC folks! It seems that the changes requested in the approved Node.js guidelines update ticket [1] were never merged into the official Packaging:Node.js wiki page. Can this get done soon? There are some packages that aren't working properly now [2] because of important information that should have been added to the guidelines with this ticket. Thanks! -T.C.
