[PACKAGED] qBittorrent 3.0.6 and libtorrent-rasterbar 0.16.4 - Is it OK?

[TerryN]

When I run rpm -ivh command on the src.rpm of older qbittorrent version in the repository, it says user Neal does not exist or something. Does that mean you had packaged it earlier?

Sort of,  it means that Neal built the RPM (and SRPM) from the SRPM the packagers submitted.

Right now, I am unable to build even the older version here, although it should as it was built successfully, probably by you, earlier

That is probably because libboost has been updated since it was built.

Code: [Select]

[terry@localhost ~]$ rpm -qpR qbittorrent-2.9.11-1pclos2012.i586.rpm | grep boost
libboost_filesystem.so.1.42.0
libboost_system.so.1.42.0
libboost_thread.so.1.42.0

Shows it was built against 1.42 which would have been Boost Filesystem Version 2.

There is an alternative. If we upgrade the libtorrent-rasterbar to newer i.e., > 0.16.0 then there is no need for libboost-filesystem altogether!
I have to check out the package request section now.

STOP PRESS! I just successfully built the Blluedevil Just joking though. To achieve a sense of well being, I just downloaded the existing Bluedevil source rpm unpacked and rebuilt the rpm from it. Needed 2 libraries which were already in the repo. So I have closure.

Back to this thing. I could not find older version of libtorrent-rasterbar in the repo. (I thought I got a brief glimpse of it once - looking for the src.rpm mainly for the .spec file)
Where is it hiding in the repo? 2010 section subsection - ?Main/Kde/Kde4/Updates? or 2011 section? Why are there 2 sections - 2010 and 2011?

NOTE: The normally fastest heanet mirror seems to be acting up for me today. It is running at a crawling bytes/second. Has everyone shifted to it simultaneously?

If you look in the component column of Synaptic you will see it is in the main section.  Therefore the SRPM is at

(or use a mirror of your choice)

Do bear in mind though that when updating a system library you need to check/test other packages which depend on that library to make sure they don't get broken by the update.

The 2010 tree is the 32 bit repo
The 2011 tree is the 64 bit repo

NOTE: The normally fastest heanet mirror seems to be acting up for me today. It is running at a crawling bytes/second. Has everyone shifted to it simultaneously?

If everybody is installing apt-sources-list then .. probably

Ok. Got it from Ibiblio at the address specified by you. Funny thing that I had went into this upto the 2nd pclinuxos level saw another /apt/ and gave up. And I would have been laughing if I had encountered ANOTHER pclinuxos there

I am not going to worry about other things right now. My aim at first will be to build ONE package to completion. I understand that there are a lot many things to be considered. I will climb one step at a time

I will play around with this and get back later.

What is the correct way to catch all output from the commandline while a build is running to a text file? I used

Code: [Select]

rpmbuild -ba required.spec > output.txt but it did not work.

The file did not have everything that had run through Konsole.

Leiche, thank you.

Continuing....
- As I found out that having libtorrent-rasterbar of 0.16.x range might help with my earlier problem, I downloaded the tar.bz and converted it into tar.xz.
- Then I got the old src.rpm for libtorrent-rasterbar from our existing repo and extracted it using "rpm -ivh"
- I opened the .spec file. Changed the version number to 0.16.3 which is the current version.
- I found that there was a patch mentioned. As this version did not seem to have a patch, I removed that.
- Ran "rpmbuild -ba"
- Oh! What a joy The output kept coming. There were a lot of warnings but they did not seem to be backbreaking type so I kept watching. Most of them seemed to be about deprecated this and deprecated that and seemed to concern style of coding rather than any mistake on my part, I thought.
- However after some time I found that the process aborted at the following stage with error :

Please note that I have not touched the pclinuxos package version/subversion number from the earlier .spec. I only changed what I thought was must to reduce any chance of errors on my side. You probably can understand that by looking at the above lines.

What did I do wrong here? Or what did I miss? Any idea why glob fails find some file? What is this glob?

[daniel]

it say, that it not found *so.5*, because it will now called as sample so.6.

Go into the directory and see what is in it   
/home/testinstall/src/rpm/BUILDROOT/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.16.3-2slingshot2012.i386/usr/lib/

Post your specfile, please

[TerryN]

The devs have probably changed library ABI version to 6 which means the libraries built will end in .so.6 now.  That means you have to change the %define major in the SPEC file so that the right names are referenced in the %files section.

%files -n %{libname}
%defattr(-,root,root)
%{_libdir}/*.so.%{major}*

This also brings with it whole host of other decisions that have to be made (like do we just rebuild existing packages against the new ABI or do we put both in the repo).   You really do need to read and understand the principles of Linux shared libraries when doing this.  Documentation here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/index.html

Kindly be patient for my approach to learning. I find it very difficult to concentrate on theory. So I read manuals when things go wrong or when everything went right
TerryN - I will read that up in time. Right now even if I read it, it will not stay in my memory. I have bookmarked it.

A light bulb just switched on when I hit this link via Google http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch08s03.html
In the older .spec file I had not altered the major version from 5 to 6. Once it was changed the "rpm -bl" command stopped throwing that glob could not find error. Now I am rerunning the build.

The current .spec file is :

About that changelog, as I have not done anything I do not know what to add.

Onwards,
- I should install these individual RPMS and test.
- If things go smooth, I should try building that qbittorrent again.

[TerryN]

Build has seemingly concluded with only warnings and no errors.
I have 3 .rpms in /RPMS/i586 and 1 .src.rpm in /SRPMS for this build.

Now, provided you let mkrepo update your sources.list file when you installed pkgutils, you should be able to run gbd (also part of pkgutils) and it will generate package lists in your local repo containing the new rpms.  That means they should show up in Synaptic or with apt-get.  It is important to test this as will show up any problems your packages may cause to other packages (wanting to remove them etc.).

You mean you have already forgotten you read this http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,82165.0.html

[sling-shot]

All 3 were successfully installed on my testinstall using the right-click menu to install via apt-get.
They have removed their previous iterations.
Synaptic recognises them.


Ha ha ha ha no I have not forgotten THAT. Let me finish this thing and when it is done I will update that. No point entering the changelog unless it actually works.

Trying to run rpmbuild -bl for the qbittorrent 3.0.3 give this error :

It is late in the night for me now. I am going to sleep on it and continue tomorrow.

I have installed the newly built libraries. Now I went ahead and downloaded qbittorrent older version. 2.9.x to check if it will work with newer library packages.

No go. It crashes after a nano-second of start or does not appear at all. Konsole give the following output:
