Fixing wrong Bootstrapping part in Guidelines
by Jun Aruga 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Dear Packagers who are using Boostrapping logic for the cyclical dependency Need your help to fix wrong Bootstrapping part in Guidelines. This mail is long. Sorry for that in advance. You may be building the cyclical dependency packages by using a variable such as _with_bootstrap, need_bootstrap, bootstrap, enable_test, and etc.. For example, you may build with below ways for that, if you will use mock command. ``` $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --with=bootstrap *.src.rpm => _with_bootstrap can be used as --with=bootstrap $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --define '_with_bootstrap 1' *.src.rpm $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --define 'need_bootstrap 1' *.src.rpm $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --define 'enable_test 1' *.src.rpm ... ``` Here is a document page to unify the Bootstrap logic. You may know it. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Bootstrapping However I found that below part in the page is wrong. ``` %{!?_with_bootstrap: %global bootstrap 1} ``` Because .. If _with_bootstrap is not set from outside, bootstrap is 1 => bootstrap is True/Enabled if _with_bootstrap is set as 1 from outside, bootstrap's value is not set. => the value is empty if it is not declared in advance. It's a kind of 0. bootstrap is False/Disabled. This situation is opposite meaning of "_with_bootstrap". Below way not using negative operator `!?` is correct. ``` %{?_with_bootstrap: %global bootstrap 1} ``` The reason why I wrote this here is I found that had already been reported 2 years ago for packaging committee, however it was closed without fixing. https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/509 I am not sure that why it is not admitted. You may feel that it does not matter because you may edit the Bootstrapping logic in the RPM spec file manually. But in my case, I am one of the people who use the Bootsrapping logic actively. There are 89 RPM packages that constitutes Ruby on Rails 5.0. To build Ruby on Rails 5.0 completely from scratch, I have to build the packages total 103 times considering bootstrap. I am trying to build those packages automatically by a tool [1] with a configuration file [2] for Ruby on Rails. It is important to fix it due to that. Fortunately today another guy Vit created new ticket for that. So, if YOU like this proposal, please comment in below page of the ticket or reply here. It is helpful for us to move this huge rock. I really want to fix it. "I like it." comment please. => https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/684 Thank you for your help.

Question about java written software using maven
by Alex Irmel Oviedo Solis 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Hello all, I was using gvsig (www.gvsig.com) and want to package it for fedora. gvSIG uses maven for compile and building process, this tool download some dependencies that already packaged for fedora (groovy for example). The question is: Can I use the original pom.xml file or I need patch it to use the fedora packaged dependencies? Regards

best way to package debug/diagnostic build
by John Dennis 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Scenario: A previously shipping RPM has the capability to be built with diagnostic and other debugging features. This has always been turned off and should be turned off for any production deployment. However the ability to install a version of the package with these features enabled would be immensely useful. Here is how I thought I would do this: add a "diagnostic" subpackage that includes only the binary with the diagnostic build. There will be a file conflict only on the binary and users will have to look for the diagnostic subpackage to ascertain which build is executing. What is the best way to add alternate builds in an RPM? Do we have existing precedent? I didn't find any guidance in the packaging guidelines, the closest I could find was the "Conflicts" doc (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts) which didn't really address the issue. -- John
