[Corelinux-develop] status report

[Christophe Prud'h. <pru...@MI...>]

Ok I just updated my cvs.

DONE:
-----
o changed debian packages creation
  - libcorelinux         : shared libs
  - libcorelinux-dev     : static lib+header files+manual pages
  - libcorelinux-doc     : reference manual in PS/PDF/HTML
  - libcorelinux-examples: examples for corelinux with automated Makefile
                           creation to compile them
o changed lib name (now -lcl++) and shared lib do not use -release anymore
o added doxygen support see doc/
o updated also the ChangeLog with the correct Features added and 
  bugs fixed
o added a C symbol(ACCheckCoreLinux) in -lcl++ in corelinux.cpp so that
  corelinux users using autoconf can detect corelinux presence using 
  AC_CHECK_LIB

TODO:
-----
o I have still to finish the redhat .spec file
o document the ACCheckCoreLinux feature in Developper manual
o create a README.packages to document package creation
  and packages contents

regards
C.

Re: [Corelinux-develop] status report

I just received a notification for 
the post installation corruption of deb packages bug(see below)
saying that it was re-opened

I opened it today and I closed it since the -2 packages are here
and the -1 are removed

does it still have to be open ?


Bug #110441, was updated on 2000-Jul-28 11:49
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: CoreLinux++
Category: libcorelinux++
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Severity 2 - incorrect IO
Priority: 5
Summary: debian package version 1, post install corrupted

Details: post installation problem in the first version of 0.4.25 debian package

For detailed info, follow this link:
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=110441&group_id=308

Whenever the state of a defect/feature changes, you get e-mail notification if you
are the handler or person who submitted.

But, I think SourceForge let out a big belch and things may have gotten reset.

But, do not CLOSE, use Fixed instead so I have something available to remind me of
what goes into the ChangeLog when we do across the board releases.

Ok

I think there is a bug in sourceforge when submitting a bug
if you try to assign it to someone it won't work 
you have to submit, edit it and reassign it

[Corelinux-develop] rpm packages

[Christophe Prud'h. <pru...@MI...>]

We are getting closer to rpm packaging
now we have:
o libcorelinux
o libcorelinux-dev
o libcorelinux-doc

TODO:
-----
o libcorelinux-examples will be more painful


Do you guys know how to not restart a rpm building from scratch?
each time it erases everything and restarts, so debugging/implementing
the spec file is really painful 
Fortunately I have a dual pentium III 750 so the -j 2 option of make is 
really a winner, but that's brutal force

is there anything like time-stamp? or being able to restart the process
at a certain point?
help would be much appreciated :)
I can't believe there is nothing like that

one more question(I am not very fluent in redhat systems)
where each of the packages should go, I mean which categories?

regards
C.

[Corelinux-develop] midnight is good to announce stuff

[Christophe Prud'h. <pru...@MI...>]

The rpm packaging is done :)

the examples appeared to be easy using the scripts I used for debian
I will upload the deb/rpm packages to corelinux.sourceforge.net/packages
so that you can give some feedback

a corelinux.spec.in file will appear in your cvs
to generate the packages you have to do:

> autorun.sh
> configure --> will generate corelinux.spec [1]
> make rpm  --> you must have read-write access /usr/src/redhat or be root

then take a coffee or a tea and relax, it takes some time !

Footnotes: 
[1]  automatic versioning Frank! You will be happy, this one more
     to not worry about when releasing corelinux :)

Cool stuff, I will download and build as well as install and test. 
So when the smoke clears, I will be genning the rpm packages, tarball,
PDF, DVI, TeX, and you will be doing the deb packages until we can get
the compile farm machine to outfit the whole thing yes?

yes!
I forsee one problem:
the reference generated by doxygen
I build the manual during the package creation so if you do not have 
doxygen/latex installed that we'll be a problem :(

I was having some problem with 'make rpm'. I am running again (I
installed doxygen) and will report back if a problem.

This captures the error at which point the 'make rpm' hangs waiting for,
yechh, human intervention.

Re: [Corelinux-develop] midnight is good to announce stuff

[Christophe Prud'h. <pru...@MI...>]

does it appear when you go in doc/
and type make ref ?


I cvs updated corelinux/doc there is a new corelinux.cfg.in
which should correct the problem!
it seems that we do not have the same latex installation
I removed the package html as an extra package!

just type make in corelinux/doc to regenerate the corelinux.cfg
and go in latex to type make pdf to see if the problem is still there
if it is ok then the package creation should be fine

Ok, that fixed the rpm builds! I will now be testing install/uninstall
and let you know if anything crops up!
