Naming policy for adding language translation packages
by Parag Nemade
Hi,
I see that we are getting more and more translations packages in Fedora
and those can be installed now via yum-langpacks plugin. I found that these
packages are not following uniqueness in their naming. e.g. If I look into
Russian language translation packages then we have real fedora package
names as
tesseract-langpack-rus
kde-l10n-Russian
libreoffice-langpack-ru
childsplay-alphabet_sounds_ru
My suggestion is we should have some naming guidelines like use language
codes for language translation packages e.g. for Russian language your
package should end with "-ru" only.
We should have some uniqueness in package names.
Regards,
Parag.

some packaging issues
by Parag Nemade
Hi,
1) Using this
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Packageas
a base, I suggested (not in any bug) to add %{?_isa} for -libs also
in
ibus.spec to its maintainer. Following is a part of commit he did. But he
also then said this looks unnecessary to him as %{name}%{?_isa} already
present.
%package gtk3
-Summary: IBus im module for gtk3
-Group: System Environment/Libraries
-Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
-Requires: %{name}-libs = %{version}-%{release}
+Summary: IBus im module for gtk3
+Group: System Environment/Libraries
+Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
+Requires: %{name}-libs%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
I suppose we can ask such changes in existing packages which do not use
%{?_isa} for -libs also right?
2) this package does silent compilation, adding "make V=1" will make it
verbose. I want to know can this be MUST or SHOULD item for Fedora packages?
Regards,
Parag.

It is a matter of perspective. :)

Somebody with write-access to that page, please add the missing " || :" to
the end of the /bin/touch line in the %postun scriptlet.
Then the code would be consistent with its explanation on the page.

Getting dependencie messages on retired package...
by Darryl L. Pierce
A while back I retired rubygem-qpid after going through the package
rename process to make it rubygem-qpid_messaging. The newer package
provides rubygem(qpid).
For some reason, over the past 2 weeks, I've started getting automated
emails saying that rubygem-qpid has a dependency failure. And today I
came in to find a Fedora 20 email listing packages that fail to build
and it includes rubygem-qpid, even though that package is retired.
What do I need to do to fully retire the package? It's marked as retired
in the package database, so I'm not sure what else I can do at this
point...

%preun problems
by Gary Gatling
Hello. I have a package I created called bumblebee. I am trying to get it
into fedora. I made some changes and now on fedora I get errors
un-installing. Here is what my %preun looks like:
%preun
# Package removal, not upgrade
%if 0%{?rhel} == 6
if [ $1 -eq 0 ] ; then
/sbin/service bumblebeed stop >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 bumblebeed off >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
/sbin/chkconfig --del bumblebeed >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
fi
%endif
%if 0%{?fedora:1} || 0%{?rhel} >= 7
%systemd_preun bumblebeed.service
%endif
And here is the error message:
Running transaction

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? This is causing me so much
stress right now.

Doc packaging questions
by Ville Skyttä
Related to the unversioned docdirs F-20 feature [1], here's a couple of
questions:
1) Should specfiles be using %{_docdir} or %{_defaultdocdir} when
referring to the /usr/share/doc dir? Both seem to work, both are being
used. To me %{_docdir} sounds better for some reason.
2) Packages that want to refer to the doc dir created by the special
%doc form need to take %{_docdir_fmt} into account. I didn't find a nice
way to do it, but here's one uglyish way to define a variable in
specfiles that should point to the correct location before and after the
%{_docdir_fmt} change (everything on one row):
%global pkgdocdir %{_docdir}/%{?_docdir_fmt:%{expand:%(echo
'%{_docdir_fmt}' | tr A-Z a-z)}}%{!?_docdir_fmt:%{name}-%{version}}
Do we want to encourage using this in specfiles that need to refer to
the dir created by %doc, or does someone have a better solution?
Packages can obviously conditionalize stuff on 0%{?fedora} >= 20 but
that doesn't sound too nice to me.
