Hallo. We are just planning to perform changes in GNOME packaging.
It includes: - Long time planned prefix move from /opt/gnome to /usr. - New gconf scriptlets finally provide a correct solution of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48114 using %pre, %preun and %posttrans. - To follow upstream names, pkgconfig will be renamed to pkg-config and gtkdoc to gtk-doc. Old names are still available as virtual symbols. - spec file cleanup. It includes removal of obsolete code, unifying packaging scheme, using parallel build, fixing scriptlets, removing obsolete configure options,... Following is optional needs further discussion before starting to do it: - Remove all unneeded .la files. - Do not build static libraries at all. In Build Service: GNOME:STABLE will diverge from FACTORY. GNOME:UNSTABLE just now contains upper mentioned changes. After checking them in, GNOME:UNSTABLE will follow FACTORY. Please don't submit to GNOME:UNSTABLE any more without requesting SuSE people to include your change to FACTORY, otherwise you risk, that your change will be lost. Details: Move to /usr: Just now, all core GNOME packages and many other packages are already moved to /usr in GNOME:UNSTABLE BS project and most problems caused by it is already fixed. We want to do this in FACTORY ASAP. Long waiting will cause a lot of divergences between GNOME:UNSTABLE and FACTORY and will require additional work. You can experience short term failures caused by inconsistence of .la files. You must wait for correct rebuild of all lower level packages. Just now, gnome-filesystem package covers both prefixes, but for openSuSE 10.3, no package should use /opt/gnome (with one compat package exception). It means, that GNOME packages can use %configure to configure all paths (except --libexecdir, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=157894). I have prepared a small script - prefixfix, which will help to convert old paths to new ones in the spec file. The rest of changes must be done manually. New scriptlets: As a fix of gconf schemas installation problems, we have a new scriptlet schemas: Macros are defined in gconf2-devel, which must be a part of your build environment.
