Problem with xvfb-run test of Gtk3 program in %check
by Robin Lee 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hi, I try to run the test suite of a Gtk3 program during %check. I run the test under xvfb-run as suggested in [1]. But it ran into strange errors. Am I missing some basic BR to run Gtk3 under xvfb? + xvfb-run -a ./test.py (test.py:27324): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:09:44.758: Could not find the icon 'zim-add-bookmark'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/zim/gui/__init__.py", line 32, in load_zim_stock_icons pixbuf = icon_theme.load_icon(name, 24, 0) GLib.Error: gtk-icon-theme-error-quark: Icon 'zim-add-bookmark' not present in theme Adwaita (0) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test.py", line 196, in <module> main() File "./test.py", line 107, in main suite = tests.load_tests(loader, None, None) File "/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/tests/__init__.py", line 97, in load_tests test = loader.loadTestsFromName(name) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/unittest/loader.py", line 153, in loadTestsFromName module = __import__(module_name) File "/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/tests/datetimetz.py", line 78, in <module> from zim.plugins.tasklist.dates import * File "/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/zim/plugins/tasklist/__init__.py", line 28, in <module> from zim.gui.pageview import PageViewExtension File "/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/zim/gui/__init__.py", line 44, in <module> load_zim_stock_icons() File "/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/zim/gui/__init__.py", line 35, in load_zim_stock_icons pixbuf = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file(path) GLib.Error: gdk-pixbuf-error-quark: Couldn’t recognize the image file format for file “/builddir/build/BUILD/zim-0.70-rc2/data/pixmaps/add-bookmark.png” (3) error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.erQZLG (%check) Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.erQZLG (%check) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/GraphicalTests

no-ld-config-symlnk false positive; how to move forward?
by Jordan Ogas 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Greetings, My subpackage, charliecloud-devel, includes the following test files: _libdir/charliecloud/test/sotest/libsotest.so -> ./libsotest.so.1.0* _libdir/charliecloud/test/sotest/libsotest.so.1 -> ./libsotest.so.1.0* _libdir/charliecloud/test/sotest/libsotest.so.1.0* These files are *not* used on the host. During the charliecloud test suite execution, specifically the test 'ch-fromhost (Debian)', these files are injected into a debian container image filesystem. It is there, in the debian guest environment (charliecloud container), where /sbin/ldconfig is executed. So rpmlint see's these files and errors as follows: charliecloud-devel.x86_64: E: no-ldconfig-symlink /usr/lib64/charliecloud-0.9.6/test/sotest/lib/libsotest.so.1.0 charliecloud-devel.x86_64: E: postun-without-ldconfig /usr/lib64/charliecloud-0.9.6/test/sotest/lib/libsotest.so.1.0 This is understandable. However, this error is not applicable for here. How do I move forward?

Guidance request: rpmlint, FHS, and test suite location
by Jordan Ogas 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Greetings, I am trying to make a Fedora compliant rpm package and I have found myself in need of guidance. The software I am trying to package contains a test suite that compiles a few c files at build time. When installing with a prefix, the test suite and examples are installed in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/charliecloud/test and ${PREFIX}/share/doc/charliecloud/examples respectively. The spec file uses the standard %{_prefix} macro, thus the test suite installs to /usr/share/, which is reserved for architecture-independent files. The presence of the compiled test suite and example binaries causes rpmlint to complain with 'arch- dependent-file-in-usr-share' errors (among others). Any guidance or advice is greatly appreciated. Note I am an upstream developer of this software and we would prefer to keep the contents of the test suite and examples together. Where they should be located for compliance with Fedora and the FHS is a little unclear to me (/usr/libexec ?). Finally, note that I am new to rpm packaging (this is my first spec file...) and this community. Forgive me if the scope or content of this message is inappropriate or malformed for this forum. Spec file: https://github.com/hpc/charliecloud/blob/epel-package/packaging/epel-7/0.9.… rpmlint output (non-verbose and pruned, i.e., removed errors and warnings not relevant to this discussion): charliecloud.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/sotest charliecloud.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/examples/syscalls/userns charliecloud.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/examples/syscalls/pivot_root charliecloud.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/bin/sotest charliecloud.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/lib/libsotest.so.1.0 charliecloud.x86_64: E: no-ldconfig-symlink /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/lib/libsotest.so.1.0 charliecloud.x86_64: E: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/libsotest.so.1.0 charliecloud.x86_64: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/bin ../../../../bin charliecloud.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/sotest charliecloud.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/examples/syscalls/userns charliecloud.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/examples/syscalls/pivot_root charliecloud.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/sotest/bin/sotest charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/Build.missing /bin/bash charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/chtest/Build /bin/bash charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/chtest/fs_perms.py /usr/bin/env charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/chtest/signal_out.py /usr/bin/env charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/chtest/dev_proc_sys.py /usr/bin/env charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/make-auto /usr/bin/env charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/make-perms-test /usr/bin/env charliecloud.x86_64: W: doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/charliecloud/test/chtest/bind_priv.py /usr/bin/env

I assume the period slipped in the package name when preparing some copy-pasta. :P Anyways, this should be changed, so I'm adding the fedora-packaging ml. Björn

release-monitoring.org currently not working
by josef radinger 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

hi we seem to have problems with release-monitoring.org as it not longer checks for new versions. note "Last check started at (UTC) 2018-12-04 00:10:11" at every page there. it seems to be a problem, which was already taken care off, but to get that online a review would be needed. i myself have not enough knowledge with python to do that. related tickets: https://github.com/release-monitoring/anitya/issues/684 the fix should be: https://github.com/release-monitoring/anitya/pull/663 maybe someone could lend a hand here, as this is a overall important service for many packagers. yours josef ps.: i would assume that release-monitoring.org is a fedora-service and as such should get monitored on https://www.fedorastatus.org/
