http://www.ed2k-serverboard.de/downloads/ihmselbst/rpm/SuSE/10.0/amule/cvs/
I download cvs rpms from there everyday. Most cvs rpms it's about 2.9M or 3.0M.But todays cvs aMule-CVS-20051210.i586-SuSE_10.0.rpm is 3.8M , so I guess there must be something new.
-
just lots of changes afaik
-
Unfortunately, the src.rpm is missing... Maybe the packager just enabled some optional stuff that was disabled before.
-
Simply ask IhmSelbst (http://forum.amule.org/profile.php?userid=42&sid=), he's the one who creates the packages.

yep. indeed, it is nothing secret or special or so, i just built it with enabled daemon (amuled) this time, because of several requests. ;) - the *.src.rpm is "missing" for lack of webspace. ;(

You can mark the source tarball as "NoSource", then you will get a nosrc.rpm instead of src.rpm. nosrc.rpm is the same as src.rpm, but without the sources. This way, people can fetch the source from amule.hirnriss.net and rebuild your nosrc.rpm with it.
You probably have something like this:
Source0: aMule-CVS-20051211.tar.bz2Simply modify it like this:
Source0: aMule-CVS-20051211.tar.bz2
NoSource: 0This instructs rpm to omit source number 0 from the src.rpm and create a nosrc.rpm instead.
Be careful: This might sound confusing, but it isn't. The "0" doesn't mean "false" as in "true/false", it refers to the number of the source that should be omitted.

or with rpm -qip packagename.rpm (if addy is specified) ;)

This doesn't give the "real" information, i.e. the .spec file and the patches, if any.

of course, it doesn´t, but, if specified, it gives the emailaddy of the maintainer. ;)
cu

well, then i also have to upload the nosource.rpm anyway, instead of the src.rpm, eating webspace as well... ;(
cu

Do you have any patches or extra sources (i.e. Source1, Source2 etc.) in your package? If not, the nosrc.rpm contains only the .spec file, so you can simply upload the .spec file and nothing else.
This way, people can use the .spec file as a starting point for their own adjustments which is "good practice" for all OSS apps (it's actually required by the GPL, although I don't know whether the aMule team really has a problem with publishing or not publishing it).
btw. If you need to save bandwidth and disk space, you can optimise everything for size. It works well and makes a real difference with aMule (ca. 25%).
You probably have something like this:
./configure \
--enable-whateverOr like this:
CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \
CXXFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \
./configure \
--enable-whateverUse this instead:
CFLAGS="-Os" \
CXXFLAGS="-Os" \
./configure \
--enable-whateverThe official Debian packages have been built like this for quite a long time and there were no complains, so there shouldn't be any problems.
EDIT: And you can save some extra 100 kB by stripping the binaries more aggressively. You probably have something like this:
make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install-stripor
make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install
strip $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/*Simply add these two lines after it:
strip -R .comment $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/*
strip -R .note $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/*
-
We can give you hosting if you REALLY need it.

@Gerd78 (and all):
well, will check out the modifications next days.

A few notes:
This:
%prep
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOTis redundant because %prep does it automatically, simply use
%prepDo not use
Prefix: /usrbecause aMule is not relocatable (the paths for webserver HTML + GIF files and translations are hard-compiled in the executables). Instead, use
%define prefix /usrThis:
Provides: %{name}is redundant because a package always provides itself, simply delete it
This:
CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \
./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --enable-kad-compile ---enable-debug --disable-optimizeis nonsense because:
- --disable-optimize is overridden by RPM_OPT_FLAGS, remove one of them (you should remove --disable-optimize, see below)
- --enable-kad-compile does no longer exist, Kademlia is always compiled and cannot be disabled
- --enable-debug is useless if you strip the binaries because you compile the debug info which takes a lot of time and disk space just in order to strip it away later, so remove one of them (see below)
The other ./configure options are OK.
So you have to decide:
- whether to enable and keep debug info (no stripping) or disable it from the beginning on. You will probably want to disable it because otherwise the package will be 5 times larger.
- whether to enable or disable optimisation. You will probably want to enable it because disabling it is only useful for debugging, but debugging is only useful without stripping, so because you are using stripping, you can also use optimisation without any disadvantage.
This line:
cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOTdoes nothing, you can remove it
This:
%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}.libs
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}.files
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}.files.tmp
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}.dirslooks very nonsensual because $RPM_BUILD_DIR is deleted anyway with the next build, so you can use this instead:
%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOTYour package will fail to build on x86_64 systems because of this:
%{_libdir}/xchat/plugins/xas.plIt's OK by itself, but you also have to add
--libdir=%{_libdir}to your ./configure line because otherwise xas.pl will end up in %{prefix}/lib which is different from %{_libdir} on x86_64 systems.
Furthermore, your package is not FHS compliant because it installs man pages to /usr/man. This is forbidden, so please add
--mandir=%{_mandir}to your ./configure line and change this
%{_prefix}/man/*/*to something like this:
%{_mandir}/*/*The package installs various directories without adding them to the %files list which results in these directories remaining on the user's systems after uninstalling the package. Try to avoid that. I see at least one such thing with the translations. You should also use the %find_lang macro to avoid that. Please google for "max-rpm.pdf".
And finally, the documentation is installed to a default directory specified in the makefiles, you should use dynamic macros instead. To do that, you can use
make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install-strip \
docdir=%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}instead of just
make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install-stripThis will ensure that the documentation of your package is installed where all other packages install their documentation. If you do that, you must also change
%dir %{_datadir}/doc/%{name}-%{version}
%doc %{_datadir}/doc/%{name}-%{version}/*to
%{_defaultdocdir}/%{name}in the %files list.
I'd recommend to look at some other people's .spec files (preferably ones from distros, not from third parties because the latter ones are often problematic). You will find a lot of useful conventions, style guides etc. in them. And "max-rpm.pdf" is a must-read.
-
thx for the hints. :baby: :)
ahum, ok, the specfile is a bit elder somehow, (indeed, it is as old as the hills, see the "--enable-kad-compile" - once the only possibility to get a kadversion.) i just forgot to keep it up-to-date. maybe it´s age-related, but i hope, it´s not Alzheimer's disease by now. but it worked, and perhaps, i simply became somewhat lazy... :]
updated it a bit just now, according some of your suggestions, and must wait and see now, if it works with today´s cvs later on, or if i totally destroyed it instead. *g
have to to plough through the "max-rpm.pdf" now.
btw:
perhaps, someone should update the current cvs-specfile, too. - seems, as if it doesn´t include some minor changes, you posted above, too... :))
cu
of course, i blowed up my suse10.0spec first, lol. so the rpm is up somewhat later today.
but, for some reason, the suse10.0rpm seems to have increased a bit, while the 9.3-version shrinked a little. will check this out asap, but must fly now. (the rl calls...) ;(

Yes, I thought about preparing a patch for that. There's also some other old stuff elsewhere in various m4 files that is not needed any more after removal of wx 2.4.2 support. Maybe I'll do that, but I think it's too late for 2.1.0 and it's not that important anyway...

That's probably related to different GCC versions. What exactly did you do? -Os? If so, don't specify --disable-optimize or --enable-optimize. Simply omit it, the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS environment variables take care of it.

hi again, and thx for the patience. :)
yep, i did the -Os-thing in the suse10.0, too. actually, i changed this .spec

- initial amule.spec release
will leave away the --optimize for the next trial run now.
btw:
the changes in the version, Ryanlee talked about in the initialposting (rpm about 1M bigger), additionally only contained the daemonthings
--enable-amule-daemon
and
%{_bindir}/amuled
cu
confirming:
without the --disable-optimize, the created rpm is about 80k smaller. 8)
btw:
additionally, i found some stuff about rpms, specs and its "suse-conformity". - if someone is interested:
SUSE Package Conventions (http://forgeftp.novell.com//library/SUSE%20Package%20Conventions/spc.html)
cu
strange, seems as if todays SuSE10.0-build resists the deleted --disable-optimize, while yesterday´s became a bit smaller. it stays persistent at about 3MB, compared to yesterdays approximately 2.9M. (http://www.ed2k-serverboard.de/diesel/smilies/confused.gif)
will check out this after work tonite (or tomorrow morning). - must leave now, to join the "rl"...
cu
-
To avoid confusion:
$RPM_OPT_FLAGS + --enable-optimize = -O2 + -O2 = -O2 (because adding the same option twice is the same as adding it once)
$RPM_OPT_FLAGS + --disable-optimize = -O2 = same as above
no $RPM_OPT_FLAGS + --enable-optimize = -O2 = same as above
no $RPM_OPT_FLAGS + --disable-optimize = no optimization at all
-Os + --enable-optimize = -Os + -O2 = unknown (I don't know the result of adding contradicting options, maybe the first one wins, maybe the latter one)
-Os + --disable-optimize = -Os = optimization for small code size
If all this optimization stuff doesn't look too promising to you, then use a reasonable default - either $RPM_OPT_FLAGS or --enable-optimize, but not both. Optimization is very dependent on the compiler version, something that gives a real advantage with GCC 3.3 (SuSE 9.3) doesn't necessarily do the same with GCC 4.0 (SuSE 10.0). None of them will probably break anything, but maybe -Os reduces code size on one of them and do nothing on the other one.
-
If you have space problems on your webserver, may I ask what this "libpng-config" package is? aMule works fine with the default libpng + libpng-devel.
And why do you have multiple wxGTK packages? aMule needs only one. If you have two because you have rebuilt SuSE's src.rpm: They do that because some wx applications are written improperly and don't work with unicode-enabled wx libraries ("wxGTK" is the unicode-enabled one and "wxGTK-compat" is the non-unicode one), but that's not the case for aMule, so you can remove one of them and save a lot of space.

here, b4 xmas, and avoiding confusion... - for me, this a descrepancy somehow here for several reasons. these days, it´s most stress pure, and nearly _no_ time. ;(

of course, u may ask.
hey, libpng-config isn´t under the amule-directory. - DVDstyler, located in the same dir, isn´t used by amule as well, i think. ;)
but, you are right, meanwhile, i should surely remove most uploaded packages.
(and pse don´t ask me, what it once was needed for. there surely was some reason to up it, but which, i can´t remember anymore.)

ahum. - my fu**ing forgetfulness. - i rebuilt the SuSE10.0-wxthings for testing purpose some day, but the amules, built with it, most crashed, and so, i dropped it again. - and simply forgot to delete the wxthings from webspace. (as usual... sigh)
note:
serverboard once was not founded as some kind of downloadsite, but to offer some support for "Diesel´s Lugdunix Image" (a cd-image for win-users, containing a Mandrake9- or SuSE8.0/8.1-image of a presetted linuxbox with router and some stuff, but primary intended to be used as an eDonkeyserver. - on those days, u could run an eD2k-server on a usual standard-dsl-line without problems, but most ppl. were unable to setup a linux-system. maybe, u rememember, there was only one big server, Adanet, and lots of little dsl-servers. lateron SilentBob and other big servers appeared, the network increased, and the little dsl-servers died, because their lines were bombed with traffic.)
be that as it may, ok, serverboard, as once founded, (nearly) died with the disappearing dsl-servers, also as TDN (http://tdn.no-ip.org/pl/tdn.pl) did, but the _space_ still exists. so, i use it for the comunity.

of course, u may ask.
hey, libpng-config isn´t under the amule-directory. - DVDstyler, located in the same dir, isn´t used by amule as well, i think. ;)
but, you are right, meanwhile, i should surely remove most uploaded packages.
(and pse don´t ask me, what it once was needed for. there surely was some reason to up it, but which, i can´t remember anymore.)
I know why it's there and you can believe me: It's *really* old stuff and it's definitely no longer needed. ;)
Let me explain: aMule links to libpng and gets the correct linker flags from the output of the libpng-config script. Try this:
libpng-config --ldflagsThe problem was that several years ago, some binary RPMs were lacking this script. But this is not a problem anymore for two reasons:
- SuSE's RPMs have libpng-config:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2026229/com/libpng-devel-1.2.8-3.i586.rpm.html
- aMule doesn't need libpng-config any more, it has a different approach for old setups without libpng-config.
So you only need to install SuSE's libpng-devel package, the libpng-config script is there. Currently you probably have it twice. Try this:
ls -l /usr/bin/libpng-config
ls -l /usr/local/bin/libpng-configOriginally posted by IhmSelbst

They are maybe needed for SuSE 9.3 (because SuSE 9.3 comes with wx 2.5.3 which is too old for aMule), but not for SuSE 10.0 (SuSE 10.0 comes with a working wx 2.6.1 package).
