I am also seeking a sponsor. Unless I am wrong, alien depends on dpkg which is not in fedora. I packaged it in the past, it is in http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/debian/dpkg-1.14.5-1.fc8.src.rpm but needs certainly to be updated. You are correct, I think including dpkg support would be difficult due to it's need for devhelper. [root@localhost Desktop]# alien -d '/home/leigh05/Desktop/compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.7.5+git20080423.shame-1.i386.rpm' Package build failed. Here's the log: dh_testdir make: dh_testdir: Command not found make: *** [build] Error 127 find: compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.7.5+git20080423.shame: No such file or directory [root@localhost Desktop]# I also packaged it, together with other debian packages, also on: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/debian/ Thanks for the SRPM's and I have updated them . I also had build debhelper against po4a 0.34 as it wouldn't build with 0.32 Here the latest build ( I used mock ) 1. alien 2. dpkg 3. debhelper 4. html2text http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/build.logs.tar.gz http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/spec.files.tar.gz http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/SRPM.tar.gz Please don't tar them all together. If you have dependencies, file individual review requests and mark them as dependencies in bugzilla. Provide direct spec file and SRPM for each of them. Thanks. Spec URL: http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/alien.spec SRPM URL: http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/alien-8.72-2.fc9.src.rpm Dependencies 1.dkpg https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457210 2.debhelper https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457211 3.html2text https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457213 It does not look like this depends on #457213 - it's actually the reverse. I don't know if it should make the changes to these two bugs to fix this or if only sponsored people should be making these sorts of edits. New SPEC & SRPM ( changed requires due to dpkg changes ) http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/alien.spec http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/alien-8.72-3.fc9.src.rpm Just two remark
- Shouldn't 'Build: perl' be 'Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo $version))' ? -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl#Versioned_MODULE_COMPAT__Requires)
- You are mixing $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{buildroot}. -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Using_.25.7Bbuildroot.7D_and_.25.7Boptflags.7D_vs_.24RPM_BUILD_ROOT_and_.24RPM_OPT_FLAGS
Any progress on this? (In reply to comment #11) > Any progress on this? Not yet , I am still working on getting the dep's passed ( dpkg debhelper ) Leigh, what's the state on this? You didn't want to continue dpkg, what's with this one? 'Submitter not responding' -> NOTABUG *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 695233 *** |
