SuseStudio and 64 Virtual Machine

#1

I have installed OpenSuse 11.3 ,64 bit VM with certain packages and they installed fine. I am now trying to create an ISO using SuseStudio and am having trouble creating the identical build. I have customized my scripts uploaded the same packages and when I hit build it complains about certain dependencies that I simply cannot find:

Expected 534 packages, installed 465.
RPM output:
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by rusers-0.17-58.fc13.x86_64
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by rusers-0.17-58.fc13.x86_64

at-3.1.8-1081.1.x86_64.rpm
attr-2.4.44-7.1.x86_64.rpm

I have install all of the above packages except:

rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by rusers-0.17-58.fc13.x86_64

Which I cannot find, help!!!

Hi
The issue is your trying to install fedora rpms on an openSUSE system… the dependencies and naming conventions of rpms can be different, find the equivalent openSUSE versions and use those, else repackage for openSUSE.

#3

Thank you for replying but why did a fresh install of OpenSuse 11.3 allow me to install these packages without a hickup and when attempting this with SuseStudio is gave me those dependencies errors? I tried downloading and installing many opensuse packages created by other users but without success. Do you know of a package that will work with Suse 11.3? I need

rusers, rup and xprobe.

Thanks

Maybe when you created your custom ISO you didn’t configure it with exactly the same repositories installed in your working VM?

Am also speculating that in your VM if you at least got your main installed app named correctly (maybe you used a friendly name and not the actual filename?) then your dependencies were calcualted automatically for you, but that same check might not exist during a Studio build (that last part was pure speculation) possibly because of a naming convention change(eg using specific filenames instead of friendly names).

Since I haven’t run into what you describe, I’m only guessing…

Hi
I’ve built xprobe2 for openSUSE here;
software.opensuse.org: Search Results

I looked at the rusers Fedora package which is full of patches… should get a chance in a day or two to possibly build as well based on that.

#6

Wow, I really really appreciate your help. Thanks for building xprobe2 for 11.3 and that would be great if you can build rusers as well. Forever grateful.

I was able to use the Fedora Xprobe and Rusers packages using SuseStudio and having my script do all the manipulation of the build. I simply uploaded the Fedora based Xprobe2 and Ruser rpms and placed them in the appropriate directory using SuseStudio. I also had to wrestle around with the base packages and dependencies but overall created a nice custom build. I have to brush up on creating custom RPM’s. Any Suggestions? Also is it possible you can point me in the right direction on how you created the rpm packages? Nevermind I can just view the src.rpm package and that will pretty much clue me in. Once again thanks

Hi
Have a look around here https://build.opensuse.org/

Here is the spec file;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=xprobe2.spec&package=xprobe2&project=home%3Amalcolmlewis%3AMiscellanous&srcmd5=f2d1e7f3c60861230454d06ee6f72d3b

Sweet,

Let me know when you created the rusers package and rup. I think are together I think. Regardless your awesome. thanks

P.S

I tried to look at the spec file but it just took me to my build.opensuse.org. I cannot see your spec file.

Hi
The build service has been down, plus it’s still playing up… Keep an eye out here and it should appear soon.
software.opensuse.org: Search Results

Please advise any issues here :slight_smile:

Also how it the xprobe2 package, all ok?

Hi
They are having issues on OBS today, so looks like publishing is turned off at the moment for built packages. It’s built, so it’s just a matter of waiting…
