Fedora :: Where To Ask For Packaging Rpm's
Jun 17, 2011
I've been using Ubuntu so far. There is a system of launchpad repositories where there are lots of programs available that are not in official repo. I've already added rpm fusion but still I miss many programs that I had on Ubuntu. I found this page and I wonder where I can ask for making rpm's. I need several programs:
No package acidrip available.
No package bombono-dvd available.
No package cdcat available.
[code]....
I now that I can compile from source code but I'm new to linux and it's too difficult for me. I haven't even found program alien on Fedora that allows to install packages from other distributions.

Recently I started getting pop-up saying:
Code:
Failed to initialize
Failed to initialize packaging backend
This may occur if other packaging tools are being used simultaneously.
under more details i get:
Code:
There are unfinished transactions remaining. Please run yum-complete-transaction as root. I get to terminal, and as a root I try yum-complete-transaction, but it just says there are no unfinished transactions left. I tried to update thru yum, but this is what I get:
Code:
# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit
Determining fastest mirrors .....
After lots of googling, I tried:
"yum clean all",
"yum-comlete-transaction",
"rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*" + "rpm -vv --rebuilddb" + "yum clean all",
Everything else is working well, and I am able to update with "--skip-broken", but I keep getting this pop-ups. I use fedora 12.

I have error in KPackageKit when i try to install anything or check for updates:
Failed to initialize packaging backend. This may occur if other packaging tools are being used simultaneously.
Details: There are unfinished transactions remaining. Please run yum-complete-transaction as root.
I don't know anything about other packaging tools - I think I don't using any. Yum works fine in terminal. Reinstall PackageKit and KPackageKit files doesn't helped me. I also try to rebuilt rpm db:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm -vv --rebuilddb
yum clean all
I'm using Fedora 12 x86_64.

From the GUI, software update gives the error "Failed to Initialize - Failed to initialize the packaging backend. This may occur if other packaging tools are being used simultaneously." In the more details, "There are unfinished transactions remaining.
I run a terminal, switch to root and do as it tells me. It returns saying that there are no unfinished transactions. I've run it several times with the same result. Then I run "yum clean all" and "yum upgrade." The upgrade processes runs and reports "there are unfinished transactions..." However, the upgrade process still completes. Basically it is now a severe annoyance, but the system does seem to upgrade. I just cannot figure out why there are somehow unfinished transactions that I cannot get rid of. I tried reinitializing the rpm database - no luck. How can I somehow reset yum?

I recently installed Fedora 13 on my system, and I'm still in the process of setting it up as I like. As the FCEU and snes9x versions on rpmfusion are old (fceultra 0.98, snes without GUI), I wanted to compile my own RPMs Everything went OK, but I found myself having to build the packages several times because of missing LDFLAGS. I got several errors like "symbol X missing, it was found on Y so you may want to add Y to the linker flags", which I fixed by modifying & exporting LDFLAGS.
So, 2 questions:
1.- why are the LDFLAGS missing? How can I avoid having to set them up manually?
2.- There should be a way to avoid re-compiling the source and only run the rpm packaging stuff with the already built things (some option like 'don't build, only package'). how can I do that?
BTW, I can share my (pretty much hacked) .spec files if you are interested

I have an upstream source tarball which, by coincidence, already contains a directory named "debian", but which has nothing to do with the "debian" directory for packaging. Assume also that renaming this directory would be difficult, for example because many other parts of the code would need to be modified. On an rpm based system, this poses no problem to the packager, since the rpm build process is driven by an external spec file and never has to modify the original source. What would be the best way to package this on a debian system? Is it absolutely necessary to rename the original "debian" directory? Or can I make the dpkg build tools operate out of a different directory?

I'm trying to package a Qt application using debuild. However, I can't figure out how to make qmake generate a correct Makefile.
The main problem is that the binary doesn't get put into ./usr/bin inside the .deb.
So dh_shlibdeps always fails and I get the following:
Code: Select alldpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
The resulting debian package then has an empty "depends" field and no binary.
I used the Qt Hello World example application to start.
I changed debian/rules (generated by dh_make) so that it runs qmake as follows:
Code: Select all#!/usr/bin/make -f
# -*- makefile -*-
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
# This file was originally written by Joey Hess and Craig Small.
# As a special exception, when this file is copied by dh-make into a
# dh-make output file, you may use that output file without restriction.
# This special exception was added by Craig Small in version 0.37 of dh-make.
# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
#export DH_VERBOSE=1

I have a C++ application consisting of several source/header files. As part of the release management procedure, I use a shell script to package all necessary sources/headers in a tar file for a successful compilation on end-user site.However, for example, each time a new directory is created within application's source tree, I need to edit the shell script to implement necessary changes, which is error-prone.What is the best practice to package the source/header files of an application into a tar file ? Is there any tool that I can use for packaging purposes rather than writing my own shell scripts ? For example, how is Linux kernel itself packaged into a tar file ?

How can I use the preinst script to check to see if the version that is installed older than the version trying to be installed and if so, take an action?
For example: if the software installed is at a version less than 6.14 then take an action, else return 0?
preinst:
Code: Select allset -e
case "$1" in
install|upgrade)
# if version installed <6.14 then do something else return 0
;;

" p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. Please close any other legacy packaging tools that may be open." I cannot update anything, and I haven't opened another package downloader. The only one open is KpackageKit. Please help, is this a big or have a I got a virus or something? I don't know what information is needed so if I need to expand tell me what I need to retrieve and ill post it.I'm not good with Kubuntu problems.

I have written a shared library and successfully used debhelper 9 to create a Debian package from source using a Makefile generated by cmake. I then went about writing a python wrapper to that library and wish to package that wrapper in with the library so I can have a single distributable rather than 2 separate ones.
All of my attempts so far have me placing my python source and a setup.py file in the same directory as the makefile at the time where I call debuild.
From here I have tried a couple different configurations to my debian/rules file as seen below:
Attempt 1:
# -*- makefile -*-
%:
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
This try seemed to package up the python stuff nicely but proceeded to ignore my makefile for the shared library and therefore ultimately failed.
Attempt 2:
# -*- makefile -*-
%:
dh $@ --with-python2
This try ran make, but completely ignored the python stuff. From some research I have gathered that the --buildsystem flag tells debuild to ignore any makefiles in the directory, which obviously causes a problem in my case.
Another attempt was to modify the build dependency to first run make and then call the python build process that file looked like this
Attempt 3:
# -*- makefile -*-
build:
dh $@
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
%:
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
This appears to somewhat work as both processes do build, but a few of the python files are still not getting installed.
Is this the way I should be going about doing this? I've noticed that most python wrappers tend to package themselves individually and then make that package dependent on the library it is attempting to wrap.

I have a Samsung N130 with a Realtek 8192 wifi card (possibly 8192e, I'm not sure) and I am trying to run Fedora 12 on it. I used to run Ubuntu until trying their latest beta and realizing it's not very good, so I looked for something else. Ubuntu was at least easy to get the wifi working with just a few quick commands that were written out, word for word, in order, on the Ubuntu forums. I tried openSUSE on here and it didn't have wifi working out of the box either but people on their forums refused to give me actual instructions and just kept bumping me from thread to thread with people giving vague advice or else just telling me I was looking in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone can give me clear and detailed instructions on how to get this wifi card working. Keep in mind that I am coming from Ubuntu and so I'm not super comfortable in CLI, if I need to do some CL stuff I will need clear and detailed instructions on how to do that.

My laptop is currently running on Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a 320 GB HDD, which I have partitioned as follows. C: Drive as Windows 40 GB capacity and successively partitioned the rest of the drives for 50 GB capacity and left an unallocated space of 67 GB for fedora 13 x64 installation. The problem that I am facing is, that I am unable to install fedora on this unallocated space..even though I am checking the option for "Creating custom Layout". When I check the option for "Creating Custom Layout" Ive been shown with the only option to install fedora on the unused space on the HDD which is around 265 GB. I am also attaching a screen shot of my disk management. how I can install Fedora on this unallocated space of 67 GB?

This post is for an HP parallel printer but I think it should work for at least "some" other parallel printers.I am sure that someone smarter than me will follow up this post with a "well, just do this and that" and you will have your HP Laserjet 6P printer ready to go, but since questions litter the forums of MANY distros on how to get "at least" an HP parallel printer to work, I'll post this anyway.This may or may not work for you if you do not have an HP but you can try it.The install printer box will let you do an install for an HP Parallel and it asks for how it is to talk to it, through CUPS sock or "local host'. When we get through what I recommend you should chose "local host".

I'm setting up my first Linux install and I was wondering if I would be able to boot Fedora from a CD while keeping every other file on my computer, or in other words if I would be able to put the /boot partition onto a cd. I've also read that Linux can be booted entirely from a logical partition. If that's true then can anyone help me in setting that up. Mostly my problem is I already have four primary partitions, one being a logical drive with plenty of free space in it, and I can't get rid of the primary partitions I already have.
