I have created rpm with following name:
[root#buildbtl ship-rpms]# ls
cdd-pcts-5.1.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
I installed rpm with the command
rpm -ivh cdd-pcts-5.1.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
After querying the installed package the name gets changed to
cdd-pcts-5.1.1-.el6.x86_64
[root#buildbtl ship-rpms]# rpm -qa | grep cdd-p
cdd-pcts-5.1.1-.el6.x86_64
I cannot understand why extra - is added after version 5.1.1
How can I maintain the name of the created rpm and installed rpm as same.
In the spec file I have overridden the MACRO _build_name_fmt for naming the rpm
using the command below:
%define _build_name_fmt %{NAME}-%{_VERSION}%{Release}.%{ARCH}.rpm
Thanks in advance for guidance
It doesn't matter how would you rename rpm package file (in your case via changing definition of _build_name_fmt), it's actual package name (which rpm database actually cares about) is always stored inside the package along other rpm metadata. This means that the easiest way to ensure that name of rpm package is the same both in rpm database and in rpm build filename is to not change the _build_name_fmt.
The RPM database always stores four "metadata" fields which identify the package: name, version, release and arch (architecture). It gets this information by reading the contents of the RPM file; its filename is irrelevant. There are additional metadata fields for RPMs which you can see using the rpm -qipackage command (see The Parts of an RPM Query for more information).
In your example, it appears that
name is "cdd-pcts",
version is "5.1.1",
release is ".el6', and
arch is "x86_64"
The default format for displaying this information is name-version-release.arch, which puts a "-" immediately before the release ".el6". Perhaps %{Release} is built up from two symbols, and in modifying the spec-file you made one of those symbols empty.
Before installing, you can also inspect your package to check if the metadata is set correctly, e.g.,
rpm -qip cdd-pcts-5.1.1.el6.x86_64.rpm

I am trying to add my modified version of vega as a local package as a dependency via:
yarn add vega#file:../vega/packages/vega
however, when I then do yarn, it tells me my package is invalid:
invalid: vega#5.22.1 /Users/alex/Documents/Work/Research/vega_profiler/VegaProf.nosync/editor/node_modules/vega
I think this is because it tries to match the version with the one in my package.json, which does not contain version information for the local package. However, I don't know how to address this.
I new to Yocto so there are probably some mistakes and misunderstanding that I've had, I appreciate if you can help.
So, I want to add a new package (tar file) to my custom image.
I have followed steps and steps in manual and some online instructions. While running: "bitbake mylayer", the layer is built fine but I got this error while building the image, here is the log file:

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'mylayer' has no installation candidate
DEBUG: Python function do_rootfs finished
ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs
And here is mylayer.bb:
SUMMARY = ""
LICENSE = "CLOSE"
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += "file://mypackage.tar"
Also, I have included the package in conf/local.conf:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mylayer"
So beside trying to figure out how to solve this problem, I also have some questions:
I have read some example of .bb, and they mentioned about LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. The mypackage.tar.gz is a package to install a platform for the device and I don't know much about the source code, so I don't know if it is necessary to include the license? Or how to know that this package need license to install?
In some answer I found online, there is one saying that I need to include PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_deb" (they want to install the .deb file), so probably in my case I will need PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package.tar" right? I have tried to change variable, but it still not successful.
The mypackage.tar includes some deb files. If I could not install mypackage.tar, can I instead install these .deb files? Can I put it all in mylayer.bb?
Thank you in advanced, I have tried to study much documents as I could but I get so confused and there is huge amount of information to digest.
First, before answering your questions
Let me mention some best practices advice for you:
Rename the recipe to some significant name related to you compressed package.
Naming the recipe to mylayer confuses Yocto users, because there is the term layer also.
Regarding you recipe:
There is no need for FILESEXTRAPATHS because the recipe path is added automatically to Yocto paths.
FILESEXTRAPATHS it is required for .bbappend files.
You need to override the do_install task function, it does nothing by default.
do_install is the first essential task to make sure that your sources are included in the final image.
Beside that, when specifying a compressed source file into SRC_URI, yocto automatically decompresses it.
This is mentioned here.
So, here what your recipe should look like:
SUMMARY = ""
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
# Prevent Yocto from decompressing the file
SRC_URI = "file://mypackage.tar;unpack=0"
do_install(){
# Create the opt folder into the final image, ${D} is ${WORKDIR}/image
install -d ${D}/opt
# Copy the compressed file there; You can change permissions as you want
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/mypackage.tar ${D}/opt
}
# Very important to specify what you installed in (do_install)
FILES_${PN} = "/opt/*"
Now, when you run IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " mylayer" your file will be installed.
Regarding your questions:
You mentioned that your compressed file contains .deb files, I assume that no license checksum is needed. Also, I understand that you may wanted to point to SRC_URI[md5sum] or other checksums for the full package. That is also not needed for local files, it is used to check for the integrity of online sources.
PACKAGE_CLASSES as mentioned here, is used by the system to know in what type the data should be packaged. By the data I mean the data that you installed with do_install. That data get packaged for according to your PACKAGE_CLASSES variable, for example, to deb file. And that is used, along side with all other recipes packages, to build the final rootfs.
Yes, if you are installing the tar file into the image and then unpack it to install all deb files, for example, with dpkg. You can use the bin_package class to do that, now the recipe must be changed for that reason:
Decompress the tar file and provide the deb files in the local files folder.
Add all deb files to SRC_URI
Inherit the bin_package class
Specify the files to be packaged.
Your recipe should look like this:
SUMMARY = ""
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
SRC_URI = "file://deb_file1.deb \
file://deb_file2.deb"
# No need to `do_install` , it is invoked by the (bin_package) class
FILES_${PN} = ""
Important:
About FILES_${PN}, you need to add all what the deb installed into the image folder
Example, if your deb file installs this:
/usr/bin/hello
/etc/hello.cfg
Specify them:
FILES_${PN} = "/usr/bin/*"
FILES_${PN} += "/etc/*"
Use * so if other deb files install files into the same folder as others it will include all.
How do I install Helm (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/helm) on Windows 7 (64-bit)?
(Update: I had posted a lot of error messages here, but I've moved them to my answer to not clutter up the question.)
Installation for Windows 64-bit:
I'm including error messages, for if you follow all the steps up to that point and then just try to install directly. This is a conglomeration of a bunch of ad-hoc steps from following many different posts. Any simplification would be appreciated!
Note: Do all work in directories without spaces. I'm doing all work in C:/PF; modify this to your directory.
Download MSYS2-x86_64 from https://msys2.github.io/ and install it. Cabal install cairo (or helm) will give something like:
Configuring cairo-0.13.1.0...
setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
Missing C libraries: z, cairo, z, gobject-2.0, ffi, pixman-1, fontconfig,
expat, freetype, iconv, expat, freetype, z, bz2, harfbuzz, glib-2.0, intl,
ws2_32, ole32, winmm, shlwapi, intl, png16, z
Download C libraries. In MINGW64 (NOT MSYS2 - I had trouble with MSYS2 at random stages in the process), use the package manager:
pacman -Ss cairo
to search for the Cairo package. You'll find "mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cairo", so install that:
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-cairo
*.pc files should have been added to C:\PF\msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig and C:\PF\msys64\usr\lib\pkgconfig. (pkg-config needs to be able to find these files. It looks in PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which by default should have the lib/pkgconfig folder above. Moving the file here is easiest. See Can't install sdl2 via cabal) If you get
The pkg-config package ... version ... cannot be found
errors then check your *.pc files.
Repeat with other required libraries, like atk
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-atk
(I don't know the complete list, but error messages later on will let you know what to get.)
Get the development files for these libraries (as suggested by How to install cairo on Windows). Most of them are bundled up at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/gtk+/2.22/. Unzip.
Copy files (.a, .dll.a) in lib to C:\PF\msys64\mingw64\lib. Copy the pkgconfig folder, which contains the .pc files.
Copy files in include to C:\PF\msys64\mingw64\include.
Add C:\PF\gtk+-2.22.1\bin to the path.
(2) and (3) might be redundant. I don't know - I did them both.
At this point you can probably do "cabal install cairo". (Warning: if your end goal is something else, you may not want to "cabal install" intermediate packages, see https://wiki.haskell.org/Cabal/Survival#Issue_.232_--_Not_installing_all_the_packages_in_one_go.)
See (4) for the syntax in specifying extra-include-dirs and extra-lib-dirs (but if you copied the files above this shouldn't be necessary),
Any time you get
Missing (or bad) header file
check to see you copied the *.h files to mingw64\include and/or add the include folder to the PATH. Use cabal install -v3 to get verbose error messages if the problem persists.
If you get something like
cairo-0.13.1.0: include-dirs: /mingw64/include/freetype2 is a relative path
which makes no sense (as there is nothing for it to be relative to). You can
make paths relative to the package database itself by using ${pkgroot}. (use
--force to override)
try --ghc-pkg-options="--force" (as mentioned at https://github.com/gtk2hs/gtk2hs/issues/139).
Get SDL. Otherwise you'll get
configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org.
If you already installed it, check it's in the path. If problem remains,
please send a mail to the address that appears in ./configure --version
indicating your platform, the version of configure script and the problem.
Failed to install SDL-0.6.5.1
Follow the instructions in (2) to get sdl/sdl2 libraries. (See instructions here Installing SDL on Windows for Haskell (GHC).)
The new version helm-0.7.1 requires sdl2, but there are other dependency issues with helm-0.7.1 as of writing. Download SDL from http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/ (direct download link to newest version as of writing http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL-1.2.15-7-any.pkg.tar.xz.sig/download), unzip. "cabal install sdl" gives
* Missing (or bad) header file: SDL/SDL.h
* Missing C library: SDL
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
so we specify where the dirs are (change the name depending on where you extracted sdl to)
cabal install sdl --extra-include-dirs=C:/PF/sdl\include --extra-lib-dirs=C:/sdl/lib
If you got SDL2 (http://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) (for a newer version of Helm): there is a fatal bug that hasn't been fixed in the release version. (If you don't fix it, cabal install -v3 things which depends on it will give error
winapifamily.h: No such file or directory
("winapifamily.h: No such file or directory" when compiling SDL in Code::Blocks) Download https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/raw-file/e217ed463f25/include/SDL_platform.h, replace the file in the include folder and in C:/PF/msys64/mingw64/include/SDL2.
Download gtk2hs from http://code.haskell.org/gtk2hs and run
the following
cd gtk2hs/tools
cabal install
cd ../glib
cabal install
cd ../gio
cabal install
cd ../pango
cabal install --ghc-pkg-options="--force"
(Maybe you have already installed glib and gio from before? I did this step because normal install of Pango caused an error for me (https://github.com/gtk2hs/gtk2hs/issues/110)
pango-0.13.1.0: include-dirs: /mingw64/include/freetype2 is a relative path
which makes no sense (as there is nothing for it to be relative to). You can
make paths relative to the package database itself by using ${pkgroot}. (use
--force to override)
Once the Helm developers get things updated you should be able to do "cabal install helm" but right now there seem to be dependency issues. For me, cabal automatically tries to install helm-0.4 (probably because 0.4 didn't give upper bounds on dependencies, while newer versions do. You could try "cabal unpack"ing and deleting the upper bounds...). Then
cabal unpack helm-0.4
Installing gives an error because "pure" got moved to Prelude. Open helm-0.4\src\FRP\Helm\Automaton.hs and change line 17:
import Prelude hiding (id, (.), pure)
Now
cabal install
Try to compile and run a program using Helm
(This is 0.4 - look on the website for a newer sample if you tried a newer Helm)
import FRP.Helm
import qualified FRP.Helm.Window as Window
render :: (Int, Int) -> Element
render (w, h) = collage w h [filled red $ rect (fromIntegral w) (fromIntegral h)]
main :: IO ()
main = run $ fmap (fmap render) Window.dimensions
If you get an error about a missing .dll (sdl.dll), find it in a bin/ folder and add the folder to your PATH (or copy it to somewhere on your path).
Let's assume there is a distribution "Example" that is packed in example-1.0.tar.gz which contains a Makefile.PL that points to all dependencies. After extracting, "Example" could be easily installed (including all its dependencies) by calling cpanm . if all its dependencies were available on CPAN.
How do I install a simialar file (let's call it example-2.0.tar.gz) if I am given a folder "deps" containing most of the distribution's dependencies
dependency-1.tar.gz
dependency-2.tar.gz
...
dependency-N.tar.gz
where N is a huge number?
Further assumptions are:
dependency-*tar.gz files have to be preferred over the available CPAN modules
some dependencies are not available on CPAN but only in this "deps" folder
the folder "deps" is incomplete and further dependencies have to be installed from CPAN.
Is there a simple way to install example-2.0.tar.gz?
I would like to know if there is some command line like cpanm --use-local-deps=~/deps example-2.0.tar.gz which does not need further workarounds.
You could use this tool http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/CPANPLUS-0.9152/bin/cpan2dist . It lets you specify filters to define what modules are loaded locally and what is fetched from CPAN. It's part of the CPANPLUS module, which should cone with newer versions of Perl I think.
I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around how Solaris 11 does packaging. I understand that there is a yum type packaging approach, but I would expect there to be a rpm -i and rpm -U approach that allows a package to be delivered and then installed or upgrade.
For now I have tracked down how to make a package, ie pkgmk and pkgtrans. Given this I can create a "foo_1.0.pkg" file that can be installed like this:
pkgadd -d foo_1.0.pkg
However I can not figure out how to upgrade this package with "foo_2.0.pkg":
root#hostname # pkgadd -d foo_2.0.pkg
The following packages are available:
1 foo foo
(x86) private_build
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all
Processing package instance <foo> from </root/foo_2.0.pkg>
foo(x86) private_build
Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <foo>
package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the
package which may be supported at one time on the same system has
already been met.
No changes were made to the system.
What am I doing wrong? It would appear that i should use pkg update, but this seems to imply that I need to release my pkg in a repo.
First, you aren't using Solaris 11 packaging (IPS) but the legacy SVR4 packaging.
With the latter, you cannot upgrade a custom package. The only way is then simply to remove the old package and install the newer one, which is what rpm -U is doing under the hood anyway.
pkgrm foo
pkgadd -d foo_2.0.pkg foo
I had the same problem, but I was able to workaround it by passing a config file into the cmd. This is especially useful in a script when used with the "echo |" as it bypasses the confirmation prompt as well. The config file overwrites the default install properties which are located in a file here: /var/sadm/install/admin/default. The key is the instance=overwrite line. I changed some of the others as well, to avoid any other prompts that may come up. As an alternate solution you can change the default file directly and not have to reference the additional config file.
with myprog1.0 (or 2.0) already installed run the following command.
echo | pkgadd -a /opt/myprog/install.conf -d myprog2.0
contents of /opt/myprog/install.conf file:
mail=
instance=overwrite
partial=nocheck
runlevel=nocheck
idepend=nocheck
rdepend=nocheck
space=ask
setuid=ask
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
networktimeout=60
networkretries=3
authentication=quit
keystore=/var/sadm/security
proxy=
$UPDATE
This variable does not exist under most installation environments. If it does exist (with the value yes), it means that a PKG with the same name, version and architecture is already installed on the system or that the installing PKG will overwrite an installed PKG. The original BASEDIR is then used.
So, this variable you can use in preinstall or postinstall script for any updation.
