Proposal spec file

CC: (none) => lovaren

To clarify some points:

1:
There is no single linux distribution out there which packs Linden Lab's autobild (bug 31410)
(Important: Linden Lab Autobuild is not the same as or derived from GNU Autobuild, but they are similar enough to cause confusion!)

2:
Linden Lab's autobuild is mainly used to build SecondLife viewers like the Firestormviewer. No other purpose for this package.

3:
There is no need to package Linden Lab's autobuild. As it is a python module it can simply installed with 
"pip3 install git+https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/autobuild.git#egg=autobuild"
or
"pip3 install autobuild"

4:
Linden Lab's autobuild does not require llsd when installed via pip3 as described in point 3 above. So bug 31411 is INVALID.

5:
Linden Lab's autobuild pulls in automatically llbase when installed via pip3 as described in point 3 above. So bug 31412 is INVALID.



So unless we have a really bored packager, there is no need to package any of this 3 requested packages. Additionally they will be unmaintained soon as they have no real purpose in Mageia.

You say that there's no distributions that packs Linden Lab's autobuild........

Is this not Linden Lab's autobuild?

https://software.opensuse.org/package/autobuild

we also have this page that shows that even Fedora

Well, can we at least openly discuss using a get-autobuild package so that dependencies can be met if one decides to install the opensuse rpm of phoenix-firestorm as a good will?

Perhaps it doesn't, but trying to to build phoenix-firestorm-release from the spec ends up with an error about llsd module missing.

I can be a maintainer of the viewer in question so noone else gets "bored".

Well, I believe in democrazy so I would like to have a voting procedure about this, perhaps on the main site?

Like this:

"Would you like to see Phoenix Firestorm Viewer being added to Mageia?"

As we already have opendkim (it doesn't build autobuild itself in Mageia though) I see no reason why we can't also build the viewer and its dependencies.

Unfortunately you did not even do a basic research. The autobuild package from openSUSE is the real GNU autobuild. You want Linden Lab‘s autobuild. No linux distribution packs Linden Lab‘s autobuild.
AGAIN: Important: Linden Lab Autobuild is not the same as or derived from GNU
Autobuild, but they are similar enough to cause confusion!
So please don‘t confuse different tools!

There is no openSUSE package of Phoenix-firestorm. The same as above applies here: no single linux distribution provides phoenix-firestorm. Only one user has a private build on the openSUSE build service (OBS) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:lemmy04:snowglobe/phoenix-firestorm-release

These 3 related requests do not warrant pushing. The user requirement is so obscure & specific that interested users would sort themeselves out.
