rename repo2solv.sh to repo2solv

[sunweaver]

Hi,

I am not sure what the policy in SUSE is for the below, but...

In Debian, it is "forbidden" to have files with file extensions (.sh) in /usr/bin/, /usr/sbin/, etc. For the Debian package of repo2solv I had to rename repo2solv.sh -> repo2solv.

It is ok to reject this request, but maybe it is an approach suitable for libsolv on SUSE, as well.

Greets,
Mike

Actually I want to get rid of that script someday, it's only used by libzypp...

Speaking of libzypp: Why do you want to port the zypp stack to Debian? You don't need it at all if you just want to run the open build server. Actually you also don't need to have libsolv for that as well, you just need perl-BSSolv, which can be built with a "bundled" libsolv. That's what we do in our OBS:Server:Unstable/perl-BSSolv package.

Aha...

Library bundling is not an option in Debian (violates Debian policy).
So having packaged libsolv is fine and necessary.

However, about the zypper stack... I want to be able to build SUSE
packages in clean openSUSE / SLES chroots on a Debian host system.

I actually at the moment do not plan to bring the complete OBS Server
to Debian, only obs-build (as that is the tool that does the chroot
builds, right?).

It would be cool to get OBS Server in and be able to build packages
for all those various distros, but currently (customer contract) I
only have to be able to build clean SUSE packages on a Debian machine.

Thanks for any input...

Mike

In Fedora we rename it too.

[Conan-Kudo]

We rename this in Mageia as well.

@sunweaver You don't need the Zypp stack for building SUSE chroots with obs-build. It only needs perl-BSSolv and a sufficiently new (or patched) rpm.

Yeah, I realized this a while ago after I had zypper packaged. Some people in Debian play with it for what-not-purpose. So I keep it maintained +/-.

(perl-BSSolv is build service only, you do not need it at all to run obs-build.)

Now done. And it also has a manpage!
