functional testing as a contrib requirement
by Karanbir Singh 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

As a part of the contrib acceptance process, can we spread the load a bit by saying that anyone who wants to submit a package, must also find someone else ( other than their sponsor ) to write a set of acceptance tests[1] for their package. I realise that in some cases, its going to be non-trivial writing these sort of tests, eg when looking at a new kernel module that needs specific hardware to be present for it to do something testable. However in many cases its really very trivial ( eg. writing tests for bind are extremely easy, just need to get a set of configs into place and run a dns lookup or a dozen ). How I imagine this to work would be that a post-build testing harness could do whatever environment/teardown is required, get a clean instance installed, get the fresh packages into there and run the tests. Stage1 could be just a standard test harness that ensures the quality of the rpms being built and how they work as a collection, tools like repomanage etc could be part of Stage1. Follow that up with the acceptance tests written specifically for the package. Dont care what testing framework is used, even bash will work in most cases ( shunit2 ? ), simpletest, rspec, python-unit. Whatever. As long as it can be called from the command line, it should work. Just wanted to get the idea out there and see what the general feeling is about this. If people are seriously keen, we cn even rip out unit and integration tests from inside package %build sections and run them post-install :) Although as something to start with, lets not go that far.

iSCSI Enterprise Target

I was wondering if there was room in 'extras' for IET? If there is interest let me know and I can supply/maintain the packages. Just need to modify them to track kernel API. -Ross

lsinitrd rpm for centos
by Torbjørn Lindahl 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I noticed lsinitrd is not available in the nash package. I guess it will be included in future RHEL6, but until then perhaps it could be useful to have it packed in an rpm. #centos adviced me to attach the spec file and link to a src rpm: http://torbjorn.org/dev/SRPMS/lsinitrd-1.0-1.src.rpm -- regards Torbjørn Lindahl

Python 2.4.3 deps issue.
by Rabie Van der Merwe 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, I just noticed that while doing an update on one of my CO5.3 x86_64 boxes it listed that it want's to install a load of extra packages (exhibit A) I then traced this back to yum wanting to update python to 2.4.3-24.el5_3.6. However when I check one of my RHEL servers it did not have this dependency (exhibit B) when I updated python. Is this a bug in the CO package build? Exhibit A: Installing for dependencies: GConf2 x86_64 2.14.0-9.el5 base 1.5 M ORBit2 x86_64 2.14.3-5.el5 base 263 k alsa-lib x86_64 1.0.17-1.el5 base 414 k atk x86_64 1.12.2-1.fc6 base 224 k audiofile x86_64 1:0.2.6-5 base 107 k avahi-glib x86_64 0.6.16-1.el5_2.1 update 14 k cdparanoia-libs x86_64 alpha9.8-27.2 base 51 k esound x86_64 1:0.2.36-3 base 130 k flac x86_64 1.1.2-28.el5_0.1 base 286 k gnome-keyring x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc6 base 166 k gnome-mime-data x86_64 2.4.2-3.1 base 691 k gnome-mount x86_64 0.5-3.el5 base 70 k gnome-vfs2 x86_64 2.16.2-4.el5 base 1.3 M gstreamer x86_64 0.10.20-3.el5 base 756 k gstreamer-plugins-base x86_64 0.10.20-3.0.1.el5_3 update 962 k gstreamer-plugins-good x86_64 0.10.9-1.el5_3.2 update 984 k gstreamer-plugins-good-devel x86_64 0.10.9-1.el5_3.2 update 161 k gstreamer-tools x86_64 0.10.20-3.el5 base 18 k gtk2 x86_64 2.10.4-20.el5 base 6.5 M hicolor-icon-theme noarch 0.9-2.1 base 25 k libIDL x86_64 0.8.7-1.fc6 base 87 k libXcursor x86_64 1.1.7-1.1 base 32 k libXfixes x86_64 4.0.1-2.1 base 15 k libXinerama x86_64 1.0.1-2.1 base 9.8 k libXrandr x86_64 1.1.1-3.1 base 15 k libXres x86_64 1.0.1-3.1 base 14 k libXv x86_64 1.0.1-4.1 base 14 k libart_lgpl x86_64 2.3.17-4 base 75 k libavc1394 x86_64 0.5.3-1.fc6 base 45 k libbonobo x86_64 2.16.0-1.fc6 base 521 k libbonoboui x86_64 2.16.0-1.fc6 base 394 k libdv x86_64 0.104-4.fc6.1 base 78 k libglade2 x86_64 2.6.0-2 base 96 k libgnome x86_64 2.16.0-6.el5 base 860 k libgnomecanvas x86_64 2.14.0-4.1 base 224 k libgnomeui x86_64 2.16.0-5.el5 base 984 k libiec61883 x86_64 1.0.0-11.fc6 base 37 k libnotify x86_64 0.4.2-6.el5 base 38 k libogg x86_64 2:1.1.3-3.el5 base 18 k liboil x86_64 0.3.8-2.1 base 136 k libraw1394 x86_64 1.3.0-1.el5 base 41 k libtheora x86_64 1.0alpha7-1 base 706 k libvorbis x86_64 1:1.1.2-3.el5_1.2 base 219 k libwnck x86_64 2.16.0-4.fc6 base 185 k notification-daemon x86_64 0.3.5-9.el5 base 48 k pkgconfig x86_64 1:0.21-2.el5 base 61 k shared-mime-info x86_64 0.19-5.el5 base 149 k speex x86_64 1.0.5-4.el5_1.1 base 207 k startup-notification x86_64 0.8-4.1 base 32 k Exhibit B: ---> Package python.x86_64 0:2.4.3-24.el5_3.6 set to be updated filelists.xml.gz | 22 kB 00:00 filelists.xml.gz | 2.1 MB 00:01 filelists.xml.gz | 153 kB 00:00 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib64/python2.4 for package: gamin-python --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib64/python2.4 for package: libxml2-python --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes.

ABI compliance checker
by Andrey Ponomarenko 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Colleagues, I'm software engineer from Institute for System Programing of Russian Academy of Sciences and we are developing a free lightweight tool for checking backward/forward binary compatibility of shared C/C++ libraries in OS Linux. It checks interface signatures and data type definitions in two library versions (headers and shared objects) and searches ABI changes that may lead to incompatibility. We have released 1.1 version of this tool and we'd like you to consider its usefulness for your project. The wiki-page with the latest release of binary compatibility checker is http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker Andrey Ponomarenko

package for contrib repository

Hello, I want to help with making CentOS a bit more comfortable, so there is a spec of a little clipboard manager called Parcellite.
