No, everything is ok. For building the management user is ok, but for installation one always uses root. The only exception is in intentionally non-privileged OpenPKG instances. There only the management user exists, but OTOH there one inherently cannot use all packages, of course. Would it be possible to use the same user/group for all OpenPKG users/groups in such a scenario ? This would still not help with packages that need SUID root or SGID sys or so for some programs, though.

Re: Building GCC on AIX 5.3 w/libiconv
On Tue, Aug 16, 2005, Doug Summers wrote:
Had to jump through a couple of hoops but I finally got it to compile:
1) Built empty binutils package
Yes, some packages require binutils. And even when they are only
conditionally required, openpkg build eventually installs them.
I think the dummy package should have a very large version number, so
that it is not overruled by an official version.
2) Added '--with-libiconv-prefix=/usr \' to configure section of gcc.spec
What could be the definite solution for this infamous libiconv problem ?
Always use the system supplied version ? Add an option with_libiconv_prefix
to the gcc package ? Use --with-libiconv-prefix=%{l_prefix} and require
libiconv ?
My attempt was, to try to disable the usage of libiconv in gcc. There
are already provisions (the echo am_cv_func_iconv=no etc config.cache).
This config.cache has to be copied into the directories of some sub-
configures to become effective. But this still doesn't disable the usage
completely and i don't know exactly, whether important functionality
is lost. It looks too ugly.

Well, you can temporarily redefine $HOME to feed rpm with an especially crufted rpmmacros file. Or you write a wrapper around openpkg build, that searches for the rpm rebuild command --rebuild gtk in the generated script and injects more options. But you would have to use this wrapper for all builds - in case that gtk is rebuild as a dependency of another package. And when you also want to use the special compilers for the gtk dependencies...

As far as i know this problem has to do with incompatibilities between the Sun (Forte) c++ and g++. The supplied plugin is compiled with the Sun c++. It does not like a g++ compiled mozilla. So, given that this is true, there are two possibilities: Get the sources for the Java PlugIn (i know they are available somewhere) and compile them with gcc - or get the Sun tools and compile mozilla with the Forte tools that are available at no cost on the OpenSolaris site somewhere. I already have to compile mozilla under Solaris 8 and use --ignoreos to install them on Solaris 10 because of the binutils misery, so i would not care about this additional quirk. It would be _really_ nice if someone could solve this :) It's on my list, but my list is lng.

Simon, I have a Perl script which creates a Makefile from RPMs and

fits my needs but have never tried it on other systems than Linux.
There is already something like this, i think.
%prefix/libexec/openpkg-tools/src2make.pl. thl ?
But then, openpkg build still seems to have some bugs. We *DO* need
something *perfect*, here !
This should be the next major goal. Immediately before shared lib
support.

Does this script automatically build all dependencies? This is where
pkg-get (for Solaris 8 above) works great. If we could simulate this
builds would be much simpler.
I have my own opinions regarding pkg-get. Not that i think that those
people are doing a bad job. It's just way too much ad hoc for my taste.
Especially because the results are hardly reproducible.
I'd probably call it a pragmatic attempt. Great for now ! But not the
solution.
But then.

That's my next test on a fresh Solaris 8 system.

trying to get OpenPKG to install on - so far only a no-go on AIX 5.2,
Irix, Tru64, and HPUX 11.23/IA64.
Hey, you're using IRIX ? Maybe i'm going to collaborate, there. It's
not the most used system, here. But at least i do have some resources.

I have one build host for every platform/release. There the packages are compiled from sources, leading to binary packages under RPM/PKG. In this RPM/PKG i run openpkg index and it is mounted inside a hierarchy that is accessible over anonymous ftp. From there the slave machines get their binary packages. Whenever a new package is compiled from sources, that means, when a new binary package is created, the previous version of the binary package _remains_ in RPM/PKG. So the different versions of a binary package add up. When i delete RPM/PKG completely, there is nothing left to install the slave hosts. When i _move_ everything from RPM/PKG to another place, then i just have the same problem (many versions of the binary packages) in this other place.

After installing the base openpkg package as well as openpkg-tools, I've tried to do operation as: /openpkg/bin/openpkg build -Ua | sh - This can mess up things, when something goes wrong. It is better to save the output of openpkg build to a file. When something breaks, correct the problem, edit the script and remove everything in front of the package that failed to build. Then restart, using the edited script, instead of doing another openpkg build. It would probably be a good idea, when openpkg build would do some bookkeeping, e.g. create and manage a file ~/.openpkg/build.dirty with the names of all packages that need a rebuild. Or when there would be an option that would let openpkg build look at the install dates in some way. E.g. rebuild openssh when openssl has a newer build/install date. Hmmm, are the build dates of the (binary) packages available from the rpm database ? It would be much better, when one could find out with what versions of the required packages a particular package was built. Is this possible ? I also recommend to use -Uua or to remove everything from $prefix/RPM/PKG before running openpkg build. It would be nice to have an option that removes all old versions of a package from $prefix/RPM/PKG, when a new build succeeded. To the proxies. When one specifies a ftp proxy, a real ftp proxy is expected. ftp over http proxy does not work. Is there a way to access the OpenPKG packages using http instead of ftp ?

I'm thinking some sort of openpkg rpm query that lists all of the files installed in every rpm package then piping that to some xargs command that chowns them right. I'm not sure what options from rpm would provide me the owner and group of each file it lists though. Anybody have any ideas? Hi. I'm not sure, whether i understand the problem. I would expect that new accounts are created, when existing ones were not detected. Then this would be a mapping problem (find /prefix -user/group wrongNumID|xargs chown/chgrp rightNumID). .. anyways, it's late... Check openpkg man rpm for the options --verify (shows problems) and --setugids (corrects problems). Maybe this helps.

First off, I would like to say you guys have done an awesome job w/ OpenPKG.
You have saved me lots of trouble having to upgrade my FreeBSD 4.0R box that

I was trying to install sudo and it would not install due to a generic MTA
dependency. I have one of the latest snapshots of postfix installed on this
machine from source, and do not need an MTA.
When you have to _install_ postfix, why don't you use the OpenPKG version ?
I've seen some references to creating a virtual package. I've even found
this:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openpkg-usersm=105800389211960w=2
...but even with that and all of the documentation (Handbook/FAQ, etc.), the
process for creating these virtual packages is vague at best. I would be
one of the very grateful OPKG users if this could be spelled out somewhere
for someone who is not really a programmer, and can make only crude scripts.
Could someone direct me to a tutorial/quicky FAQ item, something that tells
me how to create a virtual package to meet the MTA dependency?
In the meantime, there is openpkg-import. The magic is just the
Provides: MTA. When you installed postfix in sendmail compatibility mode,
then installing openpkg-import may solve your problem (but see above).
Also.given all the documentation, I still really have no clue how to use
lsync. Is there anywhere I can get more information using htat? How does
lsync fit in the process above?
AFAIK lsync is a tool to work with packages outside the OpenPKG hierarchy.
That means files not included in the RPM database.
The idea is to have each package in its own directory tree (e.g. by installing
like configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkgs/package-name). This is how i worked
in the past.
So each package has its own subdirs
/usr/local/pkgs/package-name/bin
/lib
/share etc. etc.
And then there is another hierarchy e.g. under /usr/local where symlinks
point into the packages subdir tree
e.g. /usr/local/bin/bash- /usr/local/pkgs/bash-2.05/bin/bash and
/usr/local/man/man1/bash.1 - /usr/local/pkgs/bash-2.05/man/man1/bash.1
etc. etc.
In your $PATH you have just /usr/local/bin.
Hmmm, hard to explain. Hope you got the idea - or someone else can explain
it better. lsync creates the symlinks from /usr/local/{bin,lib,etc.etc.}
into the package dirs /usr/local/pkg/{bin,lib,etc}, when i understand
right.

I don't want to say that there are too many options - it would just be nice when there where examples for the usual cases (*1*): - Install packages and all packages they depend on from source rpms - Install packages and all packages they depend on from binary rpms - Upgrade all installed packages from source rpms when necessary - Unconditionally upgrade all installed packages from source rpms - Upgrade specific packages from source rpms when necessary - Unconditionally upgrade specific packages from source rpms (*2*) - Upgrade all installed packages from binary rpms when necessary - Unconditionally upgrade all installed packages from binary rpms - Upgrade specific packages from binary rpms when necessary - Unconditionally upgrade specific packages from binary rpms Are all those cases supported ? Are there other important/supported cases ? What are the recommended (openpkg) commands for the supported cases ? It is also _extremly_ important to _define_(*3*) what effect --force has on configurations. From my observation it does _not_ clobber existing and modified configs. Well, but one has to get the .specs right in the first place. E.g. httpd.conf et al are not flagged as config files in the apache2 package - and are consequently replaced by an upgrade. D'oh ! I have machines with up to 240 installed packages - i really do not want to check each and every configuration after a minor upgrade. But when i try this with binary packages openpkg build -p platform -r ftp://bla/.../RPM/PKG -f ftp://bla/.../RPM/PKG/00INDEX.rdf.bz2 -i -g -u I get FATAL: cannot find source for 'openssl' If your command listing above is complete it looks like you forgot to create a new index. It works, when i leave out the -u, so i do a rm $opkg_root/RPM/PKG/*; openpkg build ... Perhaps someone could tell whether and how yum or apt can improve things ? What about the usual cases above ? I'd like to get the basics straight, first, so i try to concentrate on openpkg-tool - before i completely loose the ground. I had to stop to look at apt or yum for now. I wanted to slowly adapt OpenPKG, but the staccato of needed security updates in the last time forced me to use OpenPKG more seriously and in more important places. I really do no longer want to waste my time with the /usr/local morass. But i'm also not completely satisfied with my current setup - it is much better than before (*4*), but still not defined and automatic enough. (mk) (*1*) I'm under the impression anyways, that more and more often such valuable sections like SEE ALSO and EXAMPLES are left out from manual pages. Not spoken of completely left out man pages or man pages with just a reference to some html/info dung - that's really bullshit. Not that i do not appreciate additional or in deep informations, but usable man pages must be there, _first_. (*2*) Well, unconditionally here means: force a rebuild of only the named packages and also force a rebuild of all packages that depend on one or more of the rebuilt packages. (*3*) http://www.mail-archive.com/openpkg-dev%40openpkg.org/msg09886.html (*4*) Even the development of local or locally modified packages is much more fun with the OpenPkg/rpm environment, because it is much easier to reproduce results. -- Matthias Kurz; Fuldastr. 3; D-28199 Bremen; VOICE +49 421 53 600 47 Im prämotorischen Cortex kann jeder ein Held sein

Except that it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH... i'm sure this makes some sense... But i don't think this is related to your problem. $ rpm --version RPM version 4.2.1 Could this be a db problem (the program)? Well how did you unpack the openpkg-tool rpm ? You could have used rpm --rebuild path-to-openpkg-tool.src.rpm.

openpkg build fails for binary packages from local repository
Hi. I tried to install binary packages with openpkg build -p `cat $opkg_root/etc/openpkg/platform` \ -r /pub/openpkg/current/PKG \ -f /pub/openpkg/current/PKG/00INDEX.rdf.bz2 | sh; echo $? The generated shell script invokes curl to copy the binary packages to $opkg_root/RPM/PKG first. And for local paths, curl just burbs and dies (with exit code 3 - URL malformat. The syntax was not correct). This can be fixed by replacing a leading / by file://localhost/.

Messed up perms / Solaris bug
Hi. I was not careful enough and installed some packages as ordinary user instead as root. Would be nice when there where warnings, e.g. when it is not possible to set perms/uids/gids during installation. I checked the permissions using rpm -V `rpm -qa`. Then i tried to correct them using su;rpm --setugids `rpm -qa`;rpm --setperms `rpm -qa`. Is there a better/faster way ? There is a Solaris bug in/affecting rpm --setugids/--setperms. This functionality is implemented by aliases in $opkg_root/lib/openpkg/rpmpopt-4.0.2. A shell script is generated and executed using sh. It just burps sh: test : argument expected and does nothing else. Using truss i found the following: The shell script consists of commands like [ -L /file ] chmod 775 /file. This commands fail, because the -L was amputated from the Solaris sh some time ago (never understood, why). Instead, one has to use -h - or another shell, e.g. bash. I don't know, why sh is used to execute the commands. When possible, it should be changed to bash. Else, the definitions for --setugids and --setperms in $opkg_root/lib/openpkg/rpmpopt-4.0.2 should be changed, so that they use -h instead of -L.

imake / libxpm
Hi.
What is the best way to handle packages that use imake ?
First:
Under Solaris i have to mess around with /usr/openwin/lib/config/site.def
and (at least for Solaris 8) with /usr/openwin/lib/config/sun.cf.
In site.def i had to define
#define HasSunC NO
#define HasGcc2 YES
#define MakeCmd gmake
and in sun.cf i had to remove (comment out)
#define HasSunC YES
Rpm configure/build works for me, but the install would go to the system
dirs. I tried to mess around with ProjectRoot, BinDir, UsrLibDir etc.
but this affects too many other places.
Using $(DESTDIR), which is respected in the Makefiles, still leads
to Paths like %{l_prefix}/usr/openwin/{bin,lib,include} etc.
Oh, yes, and where is the right place for X11 binaries at all ?
In ${l_prefix}/bin, in ${l_prefix}/bin/X11,... or where ?
I would vote for .../bin/X11 .../lib/X11 and .../include/X11.
Could this be solved with an OpenPKG specific imake or xmkmf ?
For now, i wrote a crude hack that transforms the directory hierarchy
after installation with $(DESTDIR). But that is probably not the
right solution. Especially when it comes to find the files again.
I'll attach my current version of a libxpm snippet and welcome any
comment.

Patch: rpm and l_force_httpproxy/l_noproxy
Hi.
I'm using apache as proxy server to access the internet. Unfortunately,
rpm still tries to open a real ftp connection for 'ftp://...' urls,
even when a proxy is given.
So i modified the openpkg rpm sources. There are two new settings:
'l_force_httpproxy' and 'l_noproxy'.
If 'l_force_httpproxy' is set to any value, the http proxy is also used
for urls of the form ftp://...;.
'l_noproxy' holds a comma separated list of hosts/domains where no
proxy should be used (independent from l_force_httpproxy).
Example settings, e.g. in $HOME/.rpmmacros:
%_httpproxymyProxy.local.domain
%l_force_httpproxy 1
%l_noproxy localhost,local.domain

What am i doing wrong ? Only RPMs of OpenPKG _releases_ are signed. The OpenPKG-CURRENT RPMs are not signed -- mainly because signing requires the OpenPKG master key which is not available all the time while developers working on OpenPKG-CURRENT packages. It is only available in the release engineering process. So, how can one validate a current package. MD5 sums _in_ the package do not look very secure to me :) Yes, sorry, OpenPKG-CURRENT packages currently cannot verified at all. But perhaps we should create a less-secured GPG sub-key just for signing the OpenPKG-CURRENT packages on the FTP server? Looking at the latest trojans, i think this is necessary. Especially, what about openpkg-*.src.sh ? This is just a shell-script, you cannot add easily a signature!? Sure. But then there should be a very public known key (on a web site and so on, md5 or whatever) - i hope you're verifying your keys/checksums on a very regular basis (at least daily, with tripwire or some such). That the last stage installation requires root privileges makes the packages a valuable target (at least). The world is bad.
