RPM-repackaging google-earth-stable_current for Fedora

Posted 06-14-2014 at 03:34 AM by unSpawn

Tags /usr/bin conflicts, google-earth-stable, repackaging

Code:

Transaction check error:
  file /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable conflicts with file from package filesystem

While the above error and its fixes are documented well enough across the 'net I'm listing my own spec for future reference. You should probably not want to use this but if you do just save below code as "google-earth-stable.spec" and run it as 'rpmbuild -bb google-earth-stable.spec;'.

Code:

%define __os_install_post  /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress

detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/bin/broctl'
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named BroControl

means and found Fedora Bugzilla wanting for not fixing the same bug in Fedora 14 and 16 with status "CLOSED WONTFIX" then check out the "/usr/bin/broctl"...

If you follow my blog you'll know that a few months ago I said goodbye to my Linux Engineering position at Rackspace and joined Amazon Web Services as an AWS Support Engineer. It's been long enough that I feel I have my feet on the ground and I am qualified to give a status update.

Holy crap, Amazon. Go big or go home, they say. I'd love to give some cliche' about "if you work at Amazon you've already gone big", but I'm not even certain I could say that. The problems...

Bash conversion of Opera sessions to "netscape standard" bookmarks

Posted 06-11-2014 at 03:34 AM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

Tags bookmarks, convert, opera, sessions
