Stanislav Brabec [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Andreas Jaeger wrote: * Shared library policy see: http://en.opensuse.org/Shared_Library_Packaging_Policy If nobody raises objections, we'll move forward with it and add it to the packagers manual. I would raise several objection: 0) Static only packages 1) Packages with some devel files in the main package. If package is static only or package provides devel files (e. g. .pc file) without splitting -devel package, it must provide -devel package, either as a virtual symbol or as a package (by skipping of file list of the main package). Packages linking against the library or referring devel files from the package (e. g. .pc files), must refer to foo-devel, not foo. It allows painless move to shared library and painless splitting in future. Example: package foo with static-only stuff: Provides: %{name}-devel = %{version}-%{release} Real life example: Package check moved from static to shared library after 10.2. Several other packages were splitted. Both raised need to adopt many other packages. So, what is your objection here? 2) Naming of devel package. This is bad proposal, at least for packages using pkgconfig to refer to their libraries. These libraries can use arbitrary soname without breaking API (but breaking soname ABI). Example: We have package libgsf with libgsf-1.so.114 and libgsf-1.pc. Naming package libgsf114-devel is a pure nosense, because: - If the next version will be named libgsf-1.so.115, libgsf115-devel will most probably conflict with libgsf114-devel anyways. - Packages searching for API-compatible libgsf114-devel will fail. - When new branch will be created, it will get name libgsf-2.so.0, so this rule will upgrade to libgsf0-devel. So my proposal: Shared library package should be named libgsf1_114, but devel package should be named libgsf1. If more than one version of a -devel package can be installed at the same time (for example because includes are packaged in a versioned directory and shared libraries have a versioned name like libgtk1.so.1) the -devel packages should be suffixed with the same number as the shared library package, lib$NAME$NUM-devel. -devel packages should have another number, which should be deduced from pkgconfig name. If we will not do it, similar problem as soname one problem will remain for devel packages. Proposal was sent a year ago: If package allows installation of more devel versions at once or we decided to provide more conflicting devel packages in one OpenSUSE version and pkgconfig files use numbers, which The proble here is real and we have hacks in Build Service to fix version compatibility. devel package should be named libgsf1, package itself probably libgsf1_114. #!/bin/bash function propose_package_name { echo -n $1 | sed 's/[0-9]*$//' echo $(rpm -ql $1{,-devel} 2/dev/null | grep '\.pc$' | sed 's/.*[^0-9.]\([0-9.]*\)\.pc/\1/;:1;s/\.0$//;t1;s/\.//g' | sort -u) } for PACKAGE in $@ ; do propose_package_name $PACKAGE done 3) Shared library for more packages. - There is no reason why a -devel package cannot provide development files for multiple shared library packages. Yes, in particular cases there it is: If shared library packages are: avahi, avahi-glib, avahi-qt3, avahi-qt4 and you will create only one avahi-devel, you must logically add Requires for all four upper mentioned packages. It will unintentionally introduce need of installation of qt3-devel and qt4-devel, even if you want to compile only against glib. 4) Missing rule: Devel package dependency chain. Devel package dependency chain should be complete and no package should be missing. If you install this package, it must depend on all needed packages for pkg-config, libtool, #include and symlink targets. foo-devel package must require foo, either explicitly or implicitly, if it is needed for development. There is not yet any tool for automatic collecting of devel dependencies, but I am thinking about a tool collecting packages from .pc files and #include. Preferred way to do it: Requires: %{name} = %{version} And how can we get rid of these later again? We currently have a lot of packages with too many dependencies ;-( 5) Missing rule: How to call ldconfig (It's probably already in packagers manual.)

Note the shared libaray naming and packaging policy is about shared libraries, not static ones or naming a -devel (or not -devel) package. Yes, but it's related. If package changes from static to shared library and the static package was referenced as libfoo, you are in problem: All BuildRequires are now broken. The second mentioned thing can be re-formulated as a missing item in the policy: Is it allowed to package shared library altogether with development files (.a, .pc, .so, .h)? Is it allowed to package development files to package, which does not have -devel in its name? I think that it should not be permitted, even if it causes bigger number of packages. Otherwise it introduces missing devel dependencies (see below). Shared libraries may reside in /lib{,64} or /usr/lib{,64} only if there are development files packages separately in a -devel package to link against those libraries. See (1) on how to handle different cases. This looks too strict. There are many packages, which create shared library for more binaries inside one package. What is the benefit to link say metacity binaries with /usr/lib/metacity/libmetacity-private.so.0 instead of /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0?

If package is static only or package provides devel files (e. g. .pc file) without splitting -devel package, it must provide -devel package, either as a virtual symbol or as a package (by skipping of file list of the main package). Packages linking against the library or referring devel files from the package (e. g. .pc files), must refer to foo-devel, not foo. It allows painless move to shared library and painless splitting in future. Example: package foo with static-only stuff: Provides: %{name}-devel = %{version}-%{release} Real life example: Package check moved from static to shared library after 10.2. Several other packages were splitted. Both raised need to adopt many other packages. So, what is your objection here? I don't get this either. Note the shared libaray naming and packaging policy is about shared libraries, not static ones or naming a -devel (or not -devel) package. Yes, but it's related. If package changes from static to shared library and the static package was referenced as libfoo, you are in problem: All BuildRequires are now broken. Huh? If you had a static library only the BuildRequires should have been to FOO-devel. And that may actually have been the only package that existed. Now, at the point you introduce a shared library you simply introduce a lib package for it and be done. The second mentioned thing can be re-formulated as a missing item in the policy: Is it allowed to package shared library altogether with development files (.a, .pc, .so, .h)? No. This is strictly forbidden. Is it allowed to package development files to package, which does not have -devel in its name? This should also not be done. I think that it should not be permitted, even if it causes bigger number of packages. Otherwise it introduces missing devel dependencies (see below). Sure, but again this is only on the edge of the shlib policy (maybe we shouldn't have added all the words about the non-shlib parts). Shared libraries may reside in /lib{,64} or /usr/lib{,64} only if there are development files packages separately in a -devel package to link against those libraries. See (1) on how to handle different cases. This looks too strict. There are many packages, which create shared library for more binaries inside one package. What is the benefit to link say metacity binaries with /usr/lib/metacity/libmetacity-private.so.0 instead of /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0?

This pleases me, never had any problems with reiserfs, i mostly am not realy in a hurry when booting up, so if some checking has to be done is ok with me. I've been using reiserfs since about SuSE 6.2, that was back when 20 Gig was the big har drive. I had a power cut and fsck.ext2 took ages while the SuSE 6.2 box was up with no delay. Likewise, I've had no problems with reiserfs. When many guys were rubbishing reiserfs, saying it was causing corruptions and I was also having corruptions, I was advised to go to ext3, but I got corruptions with ext3 also. The problem turned out to be a bad IDE controller. Even Sun has gone away from slicing and dicing large disks into smaller ones. I've heard the arguments about accidentally erasing a partition, but they are all under / and if you rm -rf /, checkmate! I always have / and swap only, even on the largest Sun/Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise systems when I used to do Solaris installs for customers. I myself accidentally errased a few, not nice, i agree. Not having a back-up, is lots of extra work, not to speak of unreplaceble things like family digipics...(reason to burn them from then..) But for me totaly no reason not to use them. Since there are these large disks, the reason to partition them is even more nessesary, one can now install various OS on one disk, without any problem. Cutting these OS partitions apart would seem not wanted, but i do still believe in doing exactly that ;-) I am from the time, a 500MB HDD was all I had, and the trouble i have had every day to get about 20% free space, you do not want to know... The idea of: Room enough, just throw all on it!, does not fit me. I prefer to use virtual machines. I started using VMware back in the early days to run WFW 3.11 under Linux, I used their 6.0 betas which have run out of licence and I'm not prepared to buy 6.0. Virtualbox is OK for the x86 box and I'm about to test KVM any day now, everything is in place, just need to try one of their built images. Rebooting a Linux box is something I rarely do other than to bring up a new kernel. I may look again at kexec as it has been out a long time, partially worked when it first came out. But as many men, as many opinions.. And as long as 'i' do not have to do it the way 'you' want me to, we all are happy ;-) Long live the freedom of choice!!! Hear, hear!, but about 13 years ago I asked some guys why they chopped their disks up and then were forced to have symlinks going every which way when space ran out, answer was they didn't know, that was what they were told and that's what they did. Likewise I asked colleagues why at every command prompt on Solaris they hit the enter key about 10 times before typing in a command - they saw the experts doing it. In 1993 we got a new Sun workstation in the office and it ran out of space with the way the disk was sliced as then recommended by Sun, so in order to build software, they had to NFS mount the Linux PC I had set up and build it on the Linux hard drive.

[opensuse] internet connection sharing problem on home network problem
I'm having trouble setting up a home network to share one internet connection. I have two laptops both with ethernet cards and both with wireless cards. One laptop is connected to a wireless access point and I am trying to use that machine as a router to share the internet connection with the second laptop (via wireless). First, is this possible? I ask because I've had no success.

Isp access via a wireless network. Machine 1 has access to the network via eth0 linked via an ethernet cable to a wireless access point. The isp assigns fixed ip 192.168.xxx.202. The access point is not hooked up to a wireless router. The isp gateway is 192.168.xxx.254. eth1 is the wireless card which I have given the fixed ip 192.168.2.1 I have internet access without problems on this machine eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:D3:04:7E:AA inet addr:192.168.xxx.202 Bcast:192.168.xxx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::216:d3ff:fe04:7eaa/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10245 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6164 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2408404 (2.2 Mb) TX bytes:818320 (799.1 Kb) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:02:6D:0D:20 inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::213:2ff:fe6d:d20/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:75 errors:1 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2108 (2.0 Kb) TX bytes:1094 (1.0 Kb) Interrupt:185 Base address:0xc000 Memory:d400-d4000fff machine 1:~ # /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 192.168.xxx.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 00 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.254 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 Machine 2 - running suse 10.0 online update regularly.

The only really safe usage for the unknowning is those tar packages which are self contained static packages which install in their own directory and are removable by deleting that directory structure.

Why I elected to define external zones is that I wanted a cached answer from a source well outside the country - so in some ways I have circumvented a situation where a cached answer could come from a local source. You don't need to define any zones to achieve that behaviour. What you need is playing with the options in /etc/named.conf: forward first; forwarders { One_IP; Another_IP; }; with this two lines, the named daemon will ask first those DNSs servers you list there - and you choose them local or in the antipodes. Or remove those lines and it will always ask the root servers. But you do not need to define any zone at all. There is the further option of defining a forward zone (see below)...

Yes, there are certain apps that get installed, and there is the special menu (which can be toggled to use the standard KDE menu). But that's about it, as far as I know. 2. If its not customized than one can expect to get the KDE release from KDE.org and install it in ones current OpenSUSE installation. Right? No, it would be better if you got the one from a SUSE build source.

I proudly told her that evolution would do this without difficulty. Hah, bloody wrong :( I've been round the houses with 10.2, first it didn't recognize the device, then I tried to install new versions, all manner of nonsense. I've tried compiling and installing from source, but now I think I'm close. I finally figured out that the system wasn't doing the patch downloads, so when I got that configured properly, I found hundreds of updates, including evolution and gnome-pilot updates. Well, next I found that the system would recognize the palm, and would sync, but that there were no evolution conduits offered. Then I located them in /opt/gnome/share/blahblah/conduits, but worked out that the set the system was working with are in /usr/local...blah. So, I copied them over. Why is the system set in /usr/local? Nothing from the official distribution should be in there. Sounds like either a source install or rpms from a non-standard repo. - I suspect this is a consequence of my having tried to build from source previously. That's part of my problem; the original install with 10.2 didn't work at all for this device, and there were no patches. I tried to build from scratch, that didn't work either (it's a while ago now, so I've lost track of exactly what did happen, but I don't think everything compiled). Then in the last couple of days I found the patches and installed them, then discovered that I could not see the e-xxx conduits, and that's where I am now. Which was why part of my original question was, how do I clean up and do a fresh install of just the evolution, gnome-pilot, etc. related parts. There's configuration and stuff on this machine that I don't want to trash by a fresh install of the whole system, but I think if I can reinstall the evolution and pilot stuff, then patch it, it might well work ok.

Re: [opensuse] Offtopic posting, was: [OT] Linux in the classroom (K-12)
And what besides a critique did you contribute here? Linux in the classroom is VERY important in my opinion. and even moreso for SuSE/Novell.

I started reading this thread hoping to interject my success with ltsp, and would like to see SuSE more involved with k12ltsp.org. Seems a perfect match with the benefit of Novell's inroads already with the school system. I forget which distro Jim is/was using for ltsp, but is wasn't SuSE. I used SuSE for my ltsp stuff and did the best I could to champion it with him for that project. What Novell is doing with M$, what they are doing with SuSE, what is happing in the markets, public opinion, (even jokes, which poke at known public opinions) is all relevant to SuSE a go. The more information I have to champion the cause (SuSE, not list etiquette), the better. That this list provide technical information / answers to the folks that are discovering SuSE, is a great thing. That this list contributes to arming those that are able to help make a go of SuSE, and bring in more users, gain insights that help pacify PHB's, all the better.

If the key does nothing, then press the F10 key to look at the kernel messages... the kernel will tell you whether the key was recognized and what its scancode is. You can add easily scancodes to the kernel with setkeycodes command. Next, you will need to map the kernel keycode to the X events you want for firefox... or multimedia... whatever... using xev. Run xev from a terminal on your desktop. It will open a window that you will focus with your mouse and then type into it... the keycodes will appear for keypress and keyrelease... write them down... you then map those events to the action you want using the keyboard utilities in the control panel. All of the buttons on all keyboards can be mapped to do anything you want to do... sometimes its a little work... but it is always doable in linux. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] Still having problems with syslog-ng syntax
Darryl I tested yesterday with the space and there is no difference. I did however make some progress with the following source src { unix-stream(/var/log/skot); internal(); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }; This script does parse and it does create a file names skot and it does bind with UDP 514, however it writes nothing. I think I know need to specify the facility ==Local0 to which the sending device defines. With Wireshark I can just listen to UDP514 and see the truncated data, however syslog-ng seems not to be written that easy. It appears that in the case where we want syslog-ng to listen to a port, we cannot use regular source syntax and form. It appears from the manual that the moment the source is a port the source logic and syntax changes dramatically. Now I think I only need to specify the correct facility. I dont think (rightfully) syslog-ng has a command that globally listens to 'anything' on a port Your thoughts if you have time.

I can see your equal () and equal {} I have not a clue why the syntax wont parse. I pasted the line into a console and see I didn't mix up the braces/parentheses after all, as you've noted. All I can think of now is a syntax error in the documentation. The line I quote from there is as follows: destination d_file { file(/var/log/skot ); }; The format in the actual syslog-ng.conf file on my system is instead suggestive of the following: destination d_file { file(/var/log/skot); }; Note the absence of the space following the file name.

[opensuse] Wanna umask inhereted from parent directory
Hi all, Most of the time I administer Redhat server. However, recently I spend more and more time exploring Opensuse. There's one thing that I don't get it yet regarding sgid and umask in Opensuse. In RH, when I create a directory say 'test', chmod it 3770. It will look like this: drwxrws--T 2 root sales 4096 2007-05-23 08:16 test Then, when I create a file inside the directory, it will have permission like this: -rw-rw-r-- 1 geecko sales 4 2007-05-23 09:14 filegeecko (notice the rw-rw-r--). I do the same in Opensuse. But, the file created in the directory have the permission: -rw-r--r-- 1 geecko sales 4 2007-05-23 09:17 filegeecko (notice the rw-r--r--). This permission makes other user in sales group cannot edit geecko's file. User geecko has to specifically set the permission to 664 on the file. How do I achive the default umask inhereted from the parent directory? I read some suggestions from google to adjust the global default umask, but I think it's a bit risky, or is it the only way?

I looked in the keyboard applet and i was able to map the vol buttons in the shortcuts applet. Where exactly do i map the browser buttons to the browser? Thanks again for the help Assuming the kernel has the keys mapped, AND xev shows a valid keysym for each key please check with this: from a terminal konsole on your desktop, enter: xev | grep -i keysym Now, press the key you are interested in and then move your mouse over the xev window and the keysym data should appear in your terminal window. If the key has a valid keysym for the scancode, then no problem. Otherwise you will need to bind a keysym to the scancode with xmodmap. In your home directory you simply create a file called .Xmodmap with the entries you need--- for instance: (these are just examples, yours will be different) keycode 223 = XF86LogOff keycode 233 = XF86Forward keycode 234 = XF86Back etc Then you make them available with: xmodmap .Xmodmap ===please notice the dot in the name You can look at the keysym database /usr/X11R6/X11/XKeysymDB for valid symbols that you can bind. After you add the entries to your .Xmodmap file in your home directory, and run xmodmap .Xmodmap, then test your keysym entries by running the xev experiment again... this time you should see the keycode and the keysym binding. You are now ready to have KDE do something with the keysym bindings. You do this within the Control Center using the following directions: Pull up the appropriate control center panel with : SUSE === Control Center === Regional Accessibility === Hotkeys 1) Create an action group name based on your keyboard... mine is a Dynex internet keyboard... so I just called my new group Dynex. 2) Create an action subgroup under that for Firefox (you can have many groups and subgroups, like one for Thunderbird) 3) Under Firefox create a K-menu Entry simple a) call it search(no quotes) (it will be used to start firefox) b) click keyboard shortcut... and press the button on your keyboard for starting firefox... the keysym bound for that button will fill in the shortcut box... we're almost done c) click menu entry (it will contain the program name) and enter firefox (no quotes) in the field d) click Apply 4) [ let's do another one for the forward button ] 4) Under Firefox group create a Keyboard Shortcut Keyboard Input simple a) call it page forward (no quotes) b) click keyboard shortcut and press the forward multimedia key on your keyboard to fill in the shortcut keysym binding c) click keyboard Input Settings and make the keyboard input Alt+Right and send input to active window d) click Apply Simply repeat these instructions for as many keys as you want to define all 19 keys on my Dynex are configured to do something... keep in mind that these bindings only work while kde is up and running... for instance, I have a key that ejects my cdrom (and also closes it) from the keyboard... but I cannot use that button to open the cdrom door from my black screen consoles... nor does it work in run level 3. Of course the keyboard can be mapped for run level 3 also... but that is another story. Also, the keyboard shortcuts for the apps you are configuring must be known to you... for instance you must know that Alt+Right is the page forward in Firefox. The first few of these you dink around with will be a little confusing, but after you do a couple you'll have the whole keyboard mapped in no time. Caveat: If you're using gnome, consider using KDE just kidding... there is probably a way to do this same thing in gnome... but I don't have a clue how because... I don't use gnome... :) Have lots of fun. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
