Mageia forum

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?

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

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

%description
More than 300 free fonts in True Type format. Most of them are in the
art style and unusable as desktop fonts, but are great for any poster
or illustration.

The fonts are copyrighted under the GPL or a Freeware license, but
donations are requested by the artists. Look in
/usr/share/doc/packages/free-ttf-fonts/ for further information.

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.

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

[doktor5000@Mageia3 SPECS]$ rpmbuild -ba free-ttf-fonts.spec

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
