0.5: %post: ggz-config --install --force
GGZ Gaming Zone Packaging
Packages that use ggz-client-libs will (usually) need to
- install a *.dsc file into
%{_ggz_datadir}
- register these modules (in
%{_ggz_configdir}/ggz.modules), including these dependencies and scriptlets:
Requires(post): ggz-client-libs Requires(preun): ggz-client-libs
%post
%{_ggz_config} --install --force --modfile=%{_ggz_datadir}/foo.dsc || :
%preun
if [ $1 -eq 0 ] ; then
%{_ggz_config} --remove --modfile=%{_ggz_datadir}/foo.dsc || :
fi
NOTE: /etc/ggz.modules is owned by ggz-client-libs.
- To make packaging simpler,
ggz-client-libs-develprovides some rpm macros, including: - %_ggz_config %{_bindir}/ggz-config
- %_ggz_configdir %(%_ggz_config --configdir)
- %_ggz_datadir %(%_ggz_config --datadir)
- %_ggz_gamedir %(%_ggz_config --gamedir)
- %_ggz_version %(%_ggz_config --version)
- %_ggz_protocol %(%_ggz_config --protocol)
Comments
MatthiasClasen: Looks good to me. gnome-games already does this, basically. I note that it has a >&/dev/null in there. Is ggz-config noisy ? Also, you probably want to use %{_datadir} here ?
RexDieter: ggz-config is (usually) only noisy on errors, and normally has no output. .dsc files can live anywhere, though a common convention seems for them to live in /usr/share/ggz (ie, ggz-config --datadir). I've now included some rpm macros in -devel that can help.
