Eclipse Fedora Packager: Call for Testers and Contributors
by Severin Gehwolf 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi Fedora Packagers, <pitch> I would like to bring a new Eclipse plug-in to your attention: Eclipse Fedora Packager[1] It's a tool which can help speeding up your Fedora packaging work :-) In a nutshell, it offers similar features as the command-line client fedpkg, but with a GUI. Here's a list of its current features (more to come): - Conveniently clone Fedora Git projects, switch branches etc. - RPM-spec-file editor with syntax highlighting, auto-completion and changelog support (<Ctrl>+<Alt>+C keyboard shortcut) - Download source files and upload new source files - Prepare local builds (execute %prep section of your spec-file) - Create source RPM files based on current spec-file - Execute local builds - Push builds to Koji (the Fedora build system) - Mock builds - Push Bodhi updates (the Fedora updates system) - Eclipse Git support (via EGit) If those features cover all (most) tasks you usually carry out when packaging your software for Fedora, Eclipse Fedora Packager may be a tool for you to look into. Still not sure? It might be the right tool for your Fedora packaging if: - You prefer GUI tools over command-line-clients - You are already familiar with Eclipse or some other IDE - You are a developer and you use Eclipse on a daily basis - You have never packaged something for Fedora, but would like to do so. - You don't know much about how software gets into Fedora but need to get it packaged for it. - Your main goal is to get your software packaged for Fedora as opposed to learning a lot of tooling. Sounds interesting? Want to try it out? Here's what you need to do (please note that Eclipse Fedora Packager will officially come with Fedora 14 for the first time): If you have a F14 box, "yum install eclipse-fedorapackager". Then fire up Eclipse and follow instructions of our user guide: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eclipse_Fedora_Packager_User_Guide On F13 (I'm using it) and older (untested) you need to install some rawhide packages. This is what I usually do: 1.) Install dependencies (non-rawhide): $ yum install eclipse eclipse-changelog eclipse-rpm-editor \ fedora-release-rawhide fedora-packager 2.) Install eclipse-fedorapackager and eclipse-egit from rawhide $ yum install --enablerepo=rawhide eclipse-fedorapackger 3.) Follow our user guide[2] for information on how to get started using the plug-in. The latest version of eclipse-fedorapackager is 0.1.8 (in rawhide). Here's a link to today's build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=201275 Feedback, testing, bug reports, contributions are very much appreciated. Our Trac instance is here (use your FAS to login): https://fedorahosted.org/eclipse-fedorapackager/ If you have questions, run into problems or would be interested in contributing please let me know: email: sgehwolf AT redhat DOT com (this list is preferred) IRC: my nick is "jerboaa" (e.g. #fedora-devel or #fedora-java) I'll get back to you as soon as possible. In any case, let us know what you think ;-) </pitch> Thanks, Severin [1] https://fedorahosted.org/eclipse-fedorapackager/ (Trac/wiki) [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Eclipse_Fedora_Packager_User_Guide

unowned dirs
by Neal Becker 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645079 Various dirs are created by the install process. These dirs under hgext could vary depending on whatever extensions upstream decides to package. I'd prefer not to have to keep changing the spec to reflect those changes, but to automate the process. Right now I have: %dir %{python_sitearch}/mercurial %dir %{python_sitearch}/hgext I guess owning the parent dirs is not sufficient? I could auto-generate a list of directories, but don't know what to do with it. Right now, I auto-generate lists of files, which are then used as: %files -f %{name}-base+hg.lang.files Would adding directories to %files -f fix this? BTW, it's annoying that rpm allows only 1 %files -f. BTW, it's annoying that rpm doesn't use a real programming language, e.g., python.

preupgrade-cli...
by Nathanael D. Noblet 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

So I was playing around with preupgrade-cli to move from F13 to F14... It has downloaded everything however I was concerned with this... Saving Primary metadata Saving file lists metadata Saving other metadata Generating sqlite DBs Sqlite DBs complete Preparing system to boot into installer DEBUG /sbin/grubby --title="Upgrade to Fedora 14 (Laughlin)" --remove-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --add-kernel="/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz" --initrd="/boot/upgrade/initrd.img" --args="preupgrade repo=hd::/var/cache/yum/preupgrade ks=hd:UUID=5c913c14-e58a-4696-9da7-b701550e1f41:/upgrade/ks.cfg stage2=http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/fedora/linux/development/14/x86_64/os/images/install.img" sh: /sbin/grub: No such file or directory /bin/echo: write error: Broken pipe All finished. The upgrade will begin when you reboot. I'm a bit concerned with the /sbin/grub and broken pipe. However grub.conf has the upgrade to F14 in it. Something to be concerned with? Seems benign but wondering about why its there. Worth a bug report? -- Nathanael d. Noblet

Advice on bug...
by Nathanael D. Noblet 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello I've recently run into a selinux 'bug' [1] which it turns out isn't a selinux bug. I tried setting up a VPN via NetworkManager. Selecting all the keys and certs and all. It works however because the keys aren't in ~/.cert the selinux context is wrong and they can't be read. I'm wondering why NM doesn't create/copy/manage the .cert directory. Currently the original bug reported against selinux is closed but I still think the underlying issue needs to be discussed... Even if it was as much as a notice or checkbox to request having the files moved to .cert.... Thoughts? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638691 -- Nathanael d. Noblet

Asynchronous disk space monitoring
by Orion Poplawski 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Somewhat OT, but not sure where else to ask. I'm looking into an issue where the nepomuk strigi service is preventing a desktop with an NFS mounted home directory from going into hibernate. I think this is because it continually checks the available disk space in the home directory (about once every 20 seconds in current 4.5.2, once every 10 seconds in 4.4.5). I'm wondering if there is any better way to monitor disk space than by this kind of polling. Any kind of inotify service? Or would this be worse on a busy mount? Unless you could request notification only for reaching a threshold. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

Heads up: libOSMesa soname bump and etc
by Adam Jackson 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

We've been carrying a patch to libOSMesa for far too long now to fix the soname at .6, since there was no actual ABI change between .6 and .7. I'm tired of porting the patch so it'll be libOSMesa.so.7 in the next Mesa build in F15. The only affected packages seem to be vtk and paraview, so I'll kick off rebuilds for them as well. In related news, nothing seems to be using libOSMesa16 or libOSMesa32, so they're getting dropped. If they're being used in an external repo please let me know, and if they are then we should probably figure out alternate packaging for them since it doesn't make sense to upgrade them at the same rate as the DRI drivers. - ajax

Updated openmpi in rawhide
by Jay Fenlason 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

I upgraded the openmpi in rawhide to 1.5, which involves a soname bump. Therefore the following packages need to be recompiled: R-RScaLAPACK ScientificPython boost freefem++ gromacs paraview pypar towhee valgrind (The other packages that depend on openmpi have already been rebuilt.) I'm also going to update openmpi in F-13 and F-14 to 1.4.3, but that won't require rebuilds of dependent packages. -- JF

Viewing a scratch-build
by Paul F. Johnson 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi, I've followed the instructions on the fedoraproject website to try and view a scratch-build result (go to tasks and select the scratch build), but it's not showing anything for rawhide scratch builds. Is there some sort of magic I need to invoke to get it to show? TTFN Paul -- Vertraue mir, ich weiss, was ich mache...
