Hello Scott, first, I want to thank you for your good work on the bacula rpms, as I know it is not easy to build multi-platform rpm spec files.

I absolutely agree that we should work on the specfiles together in order to make the bacula packages even better. When you are ready with your changes this weekend, just drop me a mail and I will try to make the obs build with your new specfile! Do you have an open suse build service account? If not, I suggest that you get one, so that we can work and test the spec files together. If you do not know about the obs, I promise that you will love it. I have spent quite some time struggling with it, and now that I have my bacula packages working, it saves a lot of time, and I would be pleased to show its possibilities to you. > > Subject: Re: [Bacula-devel] Bacula.spec Logwatch issues > > Date: Monday 01 February 2010 > > From: Philipp Storz <[email protected]> > > To: [email protected] > > > > Hello everybody, > > > > as some of you may know, I have a project in the opensuse build service, > > where I had to make some changes to the specfile for Version 5. > > > > You find my diff attached. > > > > Changes: > > > > - in opensuse build service, do not build mysql per default > > Why? The reason is that now I understood one very nice feature in opensuse build service: I can now make a base package, where I only deriver all other packages, like -mysql, -postgres, -singledir etc. All files are shared between these packages, an obs automatically can add a first line %define build_mysql to the spec file in this specific package. This makes it much easier to make needed changes in one "master" specfile, and automatically be able to see what this change impacts on all target OS. > > > - removed gconsole, as it is not supported in V5 anymore > > This was done in the 5.0 rpm release. > > > - removed the patching of > > src/cats/make_sqlite3_tables.in, > > src/cats/create_sqlite3_database.in, > > src/cats/make_catalog_backup.in, > > src/cats/update_sqlite3_tables.in > > I not only uncommented this, but updated the patches to current code and > restored the use of embeded sqlite3 from depkgs.

This refers to http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html: --------------------------- Custom Catalog queries If you wish to add specialized commands that list the contents of the catalog, you can do so by adding them to the query.sql file. This query.sql file is now empty by default. The file examples/sample-query.sql has an a number of sample commands you might find useful. --------------------------- I think that a rpm package should directly use the sample-query.sql file installed as the query.sql file, as otherwise the query command would have no single entry. > > > - added the files > > %{script_dir}/bacula_config > > %{script_dir}/make_catalog_backup.pl > > Done in the 5.0 rpm release. > > > - I do not build the qt4 libs from scratch, but I get the package from > > other opensuse build project where needed. > > Again, the only project support is for building with the depkgs-qt4 > tarball.

I understand the reason for this, but it is really a pain to build qt from source, which takes a lot of time, while the most modern OS (except CentOS) have a qt version which works. Especially on the OBS, The best option would probably be to build an own bacula-qt package, which contains the supported qt version, but is independently built from the rest of the bacula package, and has not to be rebuilt on every change of the bacula spec file. In my home:dassit:bacula repositoy, a single spec file change leads to rebuilt of 15 Packages x 12 Distributions x 2 Architectures (i586,x86_64), and this takes a very long time even on the ~200 Build hosts of the build service, when you always build qt. I would be happy to work on the specfiles together with you, best regards, Philipp > > The results of the opensuse build service building my spec can be found > > on > > > > http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dassit:/bacula:/ > > > > any feedback on the packages is appreciated. > > > > > > best regards, > > > > Philipp -- Philipp Storz [email protected] dass IT GmbH Phone: +49.221.3565666-92 http://www.dass-IT.de/ Fax : +49.221.3565666-10 Sitz der Gesellschaft: Köln | Amtsgericht Köln: HRB52500 GF: Stephan Dühr, Maik Außendorf, Jörg Steffens, Philipp Storz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
