files installed but not packaged in devel section (sawfish 1.6.1)

English Open Build Service (OBS)
#1

It seems that files in %files devel and %files lang are ignored. Why?

  • To answer further questions, I’m building this version because I’m not able to get the lisp menu displayed in version 1.9.1. Not sure it will work, even if I can build it, because I still have rep-gtk and librep I used to build version 1.9.1 - which I’m trying to replace with version 1.6.1 (since this version works fine under 12.1).

Hi
The actual error is this;


Directory not found: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/sawfish-1.6.1-6.1.x86_64/usr/lib64/rep/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/sawfish

Because it can’t pass this, it spits the error about unpackaged files.

Also remove the *.la files :wink:


# Clean up
find %{buildroot}%{_libdir} -name '*.la' -type f -delete -print

In the meantime, I found what the problem was with version 1.9.1 (the one I branched from X11:windowmanagers repo). It doesn’t install rep-gtk. That’s why menus don’t work. They should just add rep-gtk to the dependencies.

Is there not a ‘simple’ way to submit a patch to a package in OBS? … like clicking on ‘submit patch’ for example. Anyway, this should fix this problem.
Please don’t ask me to use osc. I don’t have time to learn it, I swear. :frowning:

Do you have to write a bug report just to add a line in a spec file? Pfffff… I’m afraid so.

Before I was able to fix version 1.9.1, I decided to move version 1.6.1 to a subproject - since I managed to build it locally. I linked librep and rep-gtk from my home project, and this seems to be OK. However it doesn’t find a bunch of devel packages.

How come it doesn’t find this when building from a subproject? (it worke before, as I had the package in the main project).

Hi
A few commands and an editor to fix the spec file and changes?


osc bco X11:windowmanagers sawfish

Edit the spec file and update the changes;


osc vc

add;

- Add Requires rep-gtk to fix broken menus.

:wq (to get out of vi)

osc build openSUSE_12.2 --clean

Build/test your package…


osc sr -m "Add Requires rep-gtk to fix broken menus"

Done…

Hi
Again from osc you can build using any project;


osc build openSUSE_12.2 --alternative-project X11:windowmanagers

Have no idea on the web ui how to do that…

The problem is not using the command line or a vi editor (I don’t do anything else but using vi all the time). It’s setting up the account, etc. I tried once and it didn’t work. But the OBS server wasn’t working either at this time.

Anyway, …

See what I mean? If I need to create a user account on a local machine here to match the name that I use in obs, it’s going to be complicated.

Hi
cd into the directory home:please_try_again:branches:X11:windowmanagers/sawfish :wink:
