<h3><a name="electronics_menu" id="electronics_menu">Electronics Menu</a></h3>
<div class="level3">
<p>
Unfortunatly the openSUSE distribution does not provide a electronics menu entry for all the nice gEDA programms. Peter Clifton has created a menu entry for electronics. This menu package is available in the <strong>electronics-menu</strong> rpm. It contains the menu item and some icons for it. The menu categorie is called <strong>Edutainment–>Electronics</strong> in openSUSE.
</p>
<p>
If it is installed, it looks like this in KDE (manually combined with gimp):
</p>
<p>
<a href="media/geda/suse_electronics_menu.png" class="media" target="_blank" title="geda:suse_electronics_menu.png"><img src="media/geda/suse_electronics_menu.png" class="media" alt="" /></a>

<h3><a name="notes_about_rpm_spec_file" id="notes_about_rpm_spec_file">Notes about rpm spec file</a></h3>
<div class="level3">
<p>
openSUSE calls it’s <em>SuSEconfig</em> program after every installation of rpm packages with YaST. Thus it’s not necessary to integrate all configuration calls into the <em>post</em> and <em>postun</em> rpm sections.
</p>
<p>
The only additions in the <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> files are for the <em>Shared <acronym title="Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension">MIME</acronym> Info</em>. It is described in this openSUSE <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages#10.1.3._Shared_MIME_Info" class="urlextern" title="http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages#10.1.3._Shared_MIME_Info" rel="nofollow">SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages</a> article.
</p>
<pre class="code">PreReq: shared-mime-info
[...]</pre>
<pre class="code">%post
if test -f %{_bindir}/update-mime-database ; then
%{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null
fi</pre>
<pre class="code">%postun
if test -f %{_bindir}/update-mime-database ; then
%{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null
fi</pre>
<p>
Another addition is required to install the mimelnks properly in the KDE environment. KDE does not take care of the mimelnks installed in <em>/usr/share/mimelnk</em>/, thus they have to be copied to the KDE directory <em>/opt/kde3/mimelnk</em>/. This is done in the rpm <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> file inside the %install section
</p>
<pre class="code">%install
%makeinstall
kdemimedir=$(kde-config --install mime)
if test %{_datadir} != $kdemimedir ; then
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT$kdemimedir
mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mimelnk/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT$kdemimedir
rmdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mimelnk

<h3><a name="installing_rpm_packages_manually" id="installing_rpm_packages_manually">Installing rpm packages manually</a></h3>
<div class="level3">
<p>
For those who don’t use YaST for installation the SuSEconfig command has to be executed manually after installing or removing any rpm package. You can either call the toplevel SuSEconfig command
</p>
<pre class="code">/sbin/SuSEconfig </pre>
<p>
or call only the two required subconfiguration tools
</p>
<pre class="code">/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.desktop-file-utils </pre>
<p>
which calls
</p>
<pre class="code">/usr/bin/update-desktop-database</pre>
<p>
and
</p>
<pre class="code">/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gtk2</pre>
<p>
which calls
</p>
<pre class="code">/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --ignore-theme-index --remove-empty-cache "$SUBDIR"</pre>
