Package installation issue
by Danishka Navin 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi, I have build a package to do following activities. * extract zip file to documentroot of httpd * restore mariadb dump * restart/reload httpd service and enable it. Package will successfully install if I install using rpm (rpm -ivh ). When I add the package in to a kickstart and build an ISO, I can see package in the Live system as well as installed system. But none of the above activities complete. Here is the sketch of my spec. Btw, both source files available in /path but not expected result from the %post %prep %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %{__install} -p -D -m 0754 %{SOURCE0} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/path/my.zip %{__install} -p -D -m 0754 %{SOURCE1} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/path/mybackup.sql %post (basic bash commands to complete above activities.) %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} %files /path/my.zip /path/mybackup.sql Regards, -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/danishkanavin

Can I use fedora-repo-zdicts as a package name?
by Jonathan Dieter 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

I've created a review request[1] for fedora-repo-zdicts[2], a package that will contain zchunk dictionaries to increase the efficiency of compressing Fedora's repository metadata using zchunk. The dictionaries are built from Fedora's metadata and are only useful for Fedora (and, possibly EPEL, if we ever generate zchunk metadata for EPEL in the distant future), thus the name. Before I do the SCM request, I just wanted to verify that there aren't any problems using "fedora" in the package name. Thanks, Jonathan 1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1656627 2: https://pagure.io/fedora-repo-zdicts/

obsolete JavaScript packaging guidelines
by Greg Sheremeta 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Hi, This page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:JavaScript is terribly outdated. Even when it was created years ago, IMO the advice was questionable. Today, it's definitely bad advice. Modern web applications use webpack for JavaScript. With webpack, JavaScript is minified and bundled, and sometimes assets are even injected. I realize bundling libraries is bad for an old-school RPM-based application. But no one packages JavaScript into RPMs (try to find react and friends), and the page is leading to confusion on my team. To prevent confusion, acceptable options would be: either simply deleting the page, or placing a giant "don't follow this outdated advice" banner at the top. Best wishes, Greg -- GREG SHEREMETA SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER - TEAM LEAD - RHV UX Red Hat NA <https://www.redhat.com/> gshereme(a)redhat.com IRC: gshereme <https://red.ht/sig>
