Lets' drop. But I assume you meant fluid soundfont package, not fluidsynth package (or am I missing something?). So just give a random number higher than 4.1 for obsoletes/provides in fluid soundfont patches package? 5? > > Anything else that comes to your mind? > > Nope, thanks for doing this.

Here's the size of the fluid soundfont patches package in each case: -Mono GM+GS = 170MB -Stereo GM+GS = 254MB -Mono GM only = 163MB -Stereo GM only = 247MB Shall we go with Mono GM only? As far as I know, PCLite patches package is mono anyways. (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > > Ack, lets drop the GUS patches subpackage completely.

Have you tried experimenting with the -s option to unsf, which uses only one layer for each instrument? This may seem like a bad idea, but in practice it doesn't hurd as no programs support the gus format extensions for allowing multiple layers, so they all end up using the default layer anyways.

Oh yes. Remember I told you the package size was 2+ GB the first time I tried to build it? -s helped me a lot cutting that size down. I also removed some not-so-standard banks to get it down to the order of ~200MB. OK then, we're ready to go. Could you do these changes in the timidity++ package (I don't have the ACL yet): * Replace Requires: PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont with Requires: soundfont2-default * Replace the line echo "soundfont %{_datadir}/soundfonts/PCLite.sf2" > \ with echo "soundfont %{_datadir}/soundfonts/default.sf2" > \ I'll take care of the rest (on the PCLite and fluid soundfonts side). I'll also see if we need to make changes on the dependent packages. Ok, here is a new build with the requested changes: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=95230 This will show up in rawhide when we unfreeze from the beta freeze. Reopening.
Please make PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont obsolete PersonalCopy-Lite-patches.
Current my system has:
--------------------------------------------------------
fluid-soundfont-gm-3.1-2.fc11.noarch
PersonalCopy-Lite-patches-4.1-4.fc11.noarch
PersonalCopy-Lite-soundfont-4.1-5.fc11.noarch
--------------------------------------------------------
and rpm -e --test PersonalCopy-Lite-patches shows:
--------------------------------------------------------
$ LANG=C rpm -e --test PersonalCopy-Lite-patches
error: Failed dependencies:
timidity++-patches is needed by (installed) SDL_mixer-1.2.8-11.fc11.i586

Oget, can you take care of this and then close this bug again please? Thanks. Sure I'll take care of it. Just add Obsoletes: PersonalCopy-Lite-patches (no version or anything) to fluid-soundfont-lite-patches, right? I don't get this. The fluid-soundfont-lite-patches package currently has
Provides: timidity++-patches = 5
Obsoletes: timidity++-patches <= 5
The PersonalCopy-Lite-patches package Mamoru has installed has
Provides: timidity++-patches = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: timidity++-patches <= %{version}-%{release}
where %{version} is 4.1 .
Why doesn't Mamoru's depsolver obsolete
timidity++-patches (= 4.1, which is PersonalCopy-Lite-patches)
in favor of
timidity++-patches (= 5, which is fluid-soundfont-lite-patches) ?
Well, (In reply to comment #9) > I don't get this. The fluid-soundfont-lite-patches package currently has > Provides: timidity++-patches = 5 > Obsoletes: timidity++-patches <= 5 Current rpm does _not_ consider Obsoletes for "virtual" provides. This Obsoletes works only for "timidity++-patches" rpm. (note: rpm used to consider Obsoletes for "virtual" provides, however these caused various problem and lots of people complained about this rpm behavior, so this behavior was intentionally dropped) > The PersonalCopy-Lite-patches package Mamoru has installed has > Provides: timidity++-patches = %{version}-%{release} > Obsoletes: timidity++-patches <= %{version}-%{release} > where %{version} is 4.1 . And same for this. (In reply to comment #8) > Sure I'll take care of it. Just add > Obsoletes: PersonalCopy-Lite-patches > (no version or anything) to fluid-soundfont-lite-patches, right? No version is always discourged (by the way I am not sure if adding Obsoletes: PersonalCopy-Lite-patches on fluid-soundfont-lite-patches really works) *** Bug 470914 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sorry for the wrong duplicate above. It is not related to this bug. I will test if the Obsoletes: PersonalCopy-Lite-patches on fluid-soundfont-lite-patches would work in my local repo and proceed accordingly. I tested Obsoletes: PersonalCopy-Lite-patches on fluid-soundfont-lite-patches and it works on my local repo. I rebuilt fluid-soundfont with this change in rawhide. Hans, I checked all the PersonalCopy dependent packages. The only ones that will be affected on F-10 are actually my packages and I can update them simultaneously with PCLite/timidity/fluid on F-10 after we are sure that the upgrade path works correctly. Mamoru, could you please report your situation after the new fluid-soundfont gets in the mirrors? Now upgrade path seems to be working correctly, thank you.

Great! You're welcome. Hans, I think things have settled down in rawhide and we didn't get any complaints. Shall we submit these changes to F-10-testing too? Or should I just build fluid-soundfont without the patches for F-10 and forget about it? What do you think? (In reply to comment #16) > Hans, I think things have settled down in rawhide and we didn't get any > complaints. Shall we submit these changes to F-10-testing too? Or should I just > build fluid-soundfont without the patches for F-10 and forget about it? What do > you think? I think it is best to just build fluid-soundfont without the patches for F-10, this will avoid users having to download 200+ Mb for something which is not a bugfix. That's fine with me. Alright then, we're done with this bug. Setting once more to "closed rawhide"... Thanks everyone! |
