[SOLVED] How to convert OpenSUSE RPM to Mageia?

[lectus]

Hi! Recently I moved to Mageia 3.
Good distro, but I need to install this package: http://software.opensuse.org/package/fr ... -ttf-fonts

How can I convert this RPM to be compatible with Mageia? Or maybe compile the source RPM in Mageia format.

Any ideas?

[doktor5000]

All the font packages available from Mageia repos do not suffice?

If you want to build this package for Mageia, install it as normal user
and then adapt the .spec so that it builds sucessfully.

Check e.g. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=5530 and also https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packaging_for_beginners

[doktor5000]

FWIW, here's the spec, builds fine under Mageia:

Hi!
I used urpmi to extract the source RPM.

Then I tried:
rpmbuild -ba free-ttf-fonts

and I got an error on line 19 with the spec file you provided.

I'm totally newbie to RPM, so any help is appretiated.

[doktor5000]

What you do you mean you used urpmi to extract the source RPM?
You should install the src.rpm as normal user, not as root.

Also, you should use rpmbuild -ba free-ttf-fonts.spec

This is what it should look like:

install the src.rpm as normal user

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia3 SPECS]$ cd ~
[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ rpm -ihv free-ttf-fonts-1.0-364.3.src.rpm
Warnung: free-ttf-fonts-1.0-364.3.src.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, Schlüssel-ID 3dbdc284: NOKEY

   1:free-ttf-fonts-1.0-364.3         ################################# [100%]

then copy/move the spec I've attached into the rpmbuild/SPECS/ folder

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ mv free-ttf-fonts.spec rpmbuild/SPECS/
mv: overwrite 'rpmbuild/SPECS/free-ttf-fonts.spec'? y

change to the rpmbuild/SPECS/ folder

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ cd rpmbuild/SPECS/

and finally build it:

Code: Select all

Thanks doktor5000!

It worked great! And I learned a lot.

BTW... I had to remove the identation from your spec file. I was getting an error because of this.

Nice! Now I can enjoy Mageia for some work I'm doing with Scribus and those artistic fonts.

BTW... I'm also a programmer, so as I practice more how to maintain RPM packages I expect to give some contribution to Mageia if I can find some free time.

Sounds great. If you need a mentor, please have a look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager
