I am interested in package building rpms, just stumped on how packagers such as remi and atomic rocket get their spec files. Are these written from other packagers or do you need to write each spec file yourself to be considered as a "packager".
View 1 RepliesI found that "autospec" can construct a spec file. But autospec-0.8-1 is not compatible with python 2.7.1 Moreover autospec seems to be considered as deprecated. Is there a more recent version or some other equivalent utility?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have inherited our Linux packaging and as the number of versions increase, the number of conflicts is starting to get a bit unmanageable. I believe the easiest way would have been to keep the package names the same and just change the release in the spec file but unfortunately I am past that as a lot of these packages are rolled out to our estate. (I am told there were reasons for not keeping the package name the same and incrementing the version/release)
Is it possible to wildcard conflicts so I don't need to keep adding as new versions are created. For example, instead of using all the conflicts below, have something along the lines of AAtest45* <= 1.4 & BBtest45* <= 1.4 Meaning that all I would need to do was change this to 1.5 at the next release (the packages below version matched the release in the spec file)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to debug a program that I crosscompiled on a arm9. The crosscompiler uses . spec files to create RPM packages for the target system. The program compiles and runs correctly except when i run the program with gdb and then type list I get this message: Code: 1 main.c: No such file or directory. in main.c I made sure I compiled the program with CFLAGS=-g by putting this in the .spec file. when the application crosscompiles (I believe) it shows it compiled succesfully with the -g flags: Code: checking whether gcc accepts -g...

What is the minimum computer spec for playing 1080p flash files via a web browser smoothly at least 25fps? We all know that flash is not very good on Linux. On my old computer, I can play 720p flash files in the browser at arount 25fps on Windows, but on Ubuntu on the same computer via dual OS installation, it struggles to play 420p flash files in the browser. So basically, I want to build a new computer and have Ubuntu as the only OS, but this computer needs to be able to play 1080p flash files via the browser (not by downloading and converting them), but straight from the browser smoothly. Is this possible and what would the minimum computer spec need to be to achieve this?

I am currently working on making a audio interface work with a otherwise working debian desktop (its actually AVLinux, but its Debian for all intents and purposes). The problem is, the current version of ffado-svn installed (1949, from the experimental repository) has a bug with the firmware on the interface (an Echo Audiofire8) preventing me from using high sample rates, so I need to install a more recent version of ffado-svn.I am wondering if there is anyway I can build a current version of ffado-svn into the appropriate debian packages. While I am not familiar with debian, I am familiaux (I use Arch regularly). I have tried messing around with downloading the svn source and downloading the source files from however, my lack of knowledge of the building process in debian has rendered me unable to have success so far.

This is from Centos 5.5 so I apologize to anyone who may be offended.I installed my system and it came with kernel 2.6.18-194.el5. I installed the src.rpm of this kernel with rpm, patched, and built it. Then I did a yum -y install kernel.i686 which installed kernel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus.src.rpm. Since this was a yum install, why doesn't this new kernel version show in the BUILD and SPEC directory?
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust joined the group to post this question as I can't find a good answer for it.I have an RPM that has the following in the spec:
%defattr(-,someuser,someuser)
/opt/myapplication
When I go to install the RPM, the file permissions for everything in /opt/myapplication are set to root:root. This RPM installs properly in RPM based distros and maintains the correct permissions.
When I run alien -i --scripts --veryverbose myapplication.rpm as root, I can see it chmod'ing everything to 755. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried --fixperms as well and that did nothing.
