Eclipse PTP build/packaging issue
by Orion Poplawski
I'm currently the packager for eclipse-ptp. It has a feature that allows for
remote development. Some aspects of this (of which I don't quite understand
all of it) require shipping a bundle of eclipse platform jars and stuff over
to the remote system to run there. The way this is built currently is the
build downloads the prebuilt eclipse code for various platforms to build into
the bundle (since the remote system might be anything). Obviously this
doesn't fly with Fedora.
I starting looking at perhaps grabbing the built code we already have, but two
issues:
- I never quite got this working
- It would only have support for the particular platform that the rpm was
built on.
For now I've disabled this feature (and it has been disabled for the life of
the package in Fedora). But I'm wondering if there is any possibility of
getting this to work somehow in Fedora. Thoughts?
I've posted to both the packaging list and the java list in the hopes of
getting the different perspectives.

Scratch building against a package in testing
by Darryl L. Pierce
Is it possible to do a scratch build against a package that's only
available in the testing repo?
I just pushed a new package (qpid-proton) and it's not yet hit the
updates repo. I have a second package which will depend on it that I'd
like to start working on and testing. But when I tried to do a scratch
build it failed insce qpid-proton is not in updates yet.
Is this possible or do I have to wait for my package to get into
updates?

fedora-foo.desktop vendor prefix breakage
by Michael Schwendt
Hello everyone!
Here's real-world breakage due to the old vendor prefix in .desktop
file names.
$ rpmls empathy|grep desktop$
-rw-r--r-- /usr/share/applications/fedora-empathy.desktop
GNOME Shell wants "empathy.desktop" instead for its default Dash favourites:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=287759&goto=newpost
[...]
I've not opened a bugzilla report about this, because there are over 200
open tickets for empathy, and I can't tell whether the empathy packagers
would like the suggestion to rename the .desktop file instead of gnome-shell
having to be patched.
[...]
It's time to get rid of the old vendor prefix, even if that causes minor
breakage for app links on desktops.

Subject: how reload udev rules and systemd on F18
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 05:14:31 +0000
Hi,
how I should do the old command udevadm: control --reload-rules ?
is correct : systemctl restart udev.service ?
I don't find any in documentation that guarantee this .
BTW in F18: udev.service change the name to systemd-udevd.service.
So put in package spec, is this correct way ?
%if 0%{?fedora} < 18
systemctl restart udev.service
systemctl restart udev-trigger.service
systemctl restart udev-settle.service
%else
systemctl restart systemd-udevd.service
systemctl restart systemd-udev-trigger.service
systemctl restart systemd-udev-settle.service
%endif
Thanks,

packaging in a nutshell
by Rudra Banerjee
Dear friends,
I am new to this mailing list and trying to be included in the packagers
group. I have read the (vast) documentation and not sure, if I have read
it to complete understanding.
So, to do a package review, what should I need to do?
1) check if this matches Fedora Guide for naming the package.
2) whether it includes "good" certificates
3) run rpmlint
4) run mock
(or instead of 3 & 4, run fedora-review)
Is this the basic steps or I am still missing something very important?

How to restart services after upgrade?
by Miroslav Suchý
With recent discussion about FedoraUpgrade I would like to question our
scriptlets:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Macroized_scrip...
What we basically do right now is in %postun call condrestart if package
is upgrading.
This actually means that new code is stopping old deamon. While this
usually works, I seen some case during my life, where it caused some
problems.
Isn't more correct solution in %pre section to stop deamon, make note
somewhere that daemon was stopped, let rpm upgrade package and in
%postun section to start the service if it was stopped in %pre?
This is theoretical question right now, because the part "make note
somewhere" probably could not be implemented right now.
