To install this on fedora you will need to put this in /etc/yum.repos.d/magnu5.repo:

[magnu5]
name=magnu5
baseurl=http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

or install the rpm for the repo:

yum install http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/magnu5-1.0-1.fc13.noarch.rpm --nogpgcheck

Then

yum install dropbox-servicemenu

This should be installable using yum in a week or so, ffmpegthumbnailer has already hit the repository.

http://rubbad.com/files/fedora/12/RPM/x86_64/kopete-facebook-0.1.4-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm

I’m using an old source revision for the kopete-plugin, namely version 20090702-1 that the src.rpm will download from this site also as I did not know from where else I could get it.

You need to grab libqjson0-0.5.1-1.fc11.i586.rpm for it to work/install, and probably the devel package of the same if you want to build it.

libqjson0 packages are taken from the openSuSE build service and spec files are altered to match the fedora guidelines. I’m sure they’re not 100% compatible with that.

You might also need kde >= 4.3 RC for the kopete plugin to build. You can find instructions on how to enable the kde-unstable repository here.

note: mock will fail on the kopete-facebook-git*.src.rpm build due to missing libqjson0, it can’t find it, it is not in the repositories.

UPDATE: 64 bit rpms are now available for libqjson and kopete-facebook-git, also fixed a file permission error in kopete-facebook-git.

In this post I will document the steps I took to make it build. I’ll start from the very beginning.

Tools used:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install rpmdevtools

as stated here.

Then I installed rpmlint because I wanted to check on my .spec file to make sure it was in good condition, usage:
rpmlint -i specfile

Ran rpmbuild-setuptree which will create an “rpmbuild” directory in your $HOME directory. Underneath “rpmbuild” are a set of subdirectories (such as SPECS and BUILD), which you will use for creating your packages. The “rpmdev-setuptree” also creates an “~/.rpmmacros” file which will cause rpm and rpmbuild to use them when appropriate. /quote

Got the source from Kde-Look and put it in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES, and then cd to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS folder and ran
rpmdev-newspec vbox-runner
This creates the file vboxrunner.spec file, that need to be edited to suit the program. Since I had no idea about how to install a package without a configure and/or make file (this one doesn’t) I grabbed another file from the archlinux user repositories (AUR), because I  have used that one before when I was using Archlinux, had a look at the PKGBUILD for clues of what to fill the spec file with.

This is the PKGBUILD:
Contributor: Jan Zitnik <jan@zitnik.org>
pkgname=vbox-runner
pkgver=0.2
pkgrel=1
arch=(i686 x86_64)
pkgdesc="Run Virtualbox machines in KRunner"

md5sums=('0c9c34bed0001b17ee882a3764ef047d')

build() {
cd $startdir/src/vbox-runner-$pkgver
mkdir build
cd build

cmake ../ || return 1
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1

And this is the vbox-runner.spec file before:
Name: test

Release: 1%{?dist}

And the completed one, after I scratched my head a while:

* Sun Jul 26 2009 Magnus Tuominen magnus.tuominen@gmail.com 0.2-1
- Initial RPM for fedora.

The build will complain about some rpath issue with krunner_vbox.so so it has to be built with these options:
QA_RPATHS=$[0x0001|0x0010 ] rpmbuild -ba vbox-runner.spec
otherwise it will fail with this error message:
ERROR 0001: file '/usr/lib/kde4/krunner_vbox.so' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib' in [/usr/lib:/usr/lib/kde4/devel]
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gL6Psw (%install)
The result is this:

Pretty sweet huh?

You can grab the RPMs with the source from here.

http://rubbad.com/files/fedora/11/

Remember, all commands are to be run as user, except for the installation of the tools part, do NOT run these as root, ever!
Many thanks to Konqui and Jan Zitnik, whom without this would never had been built..
That's all folks! Comments and pointers appreciated, this is my first attempt at building RPMs after all, and I'm sure there are some things that could have been done differently?
UPDATE: version 0.2-2 is done, I fixed the issue with rpath and rebuilt the rpm according to the fedora package guidelines.
Added

chrpath --delete %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/kde4/krunner_vbox.so to the %install section in the spec file.
UPDATE2 version 0.2-3: addedd

%doc, %post, %postun and %find_lang to spec file.

UPDATE3 (heh) version 0.2-4 is done, now rpmlint and mock are really happy.
some changes to spec file to make rpmlint and mock happy.

We need to install a little something to get the module to actually build before we install Virtualbox.

As root:

# yum install dkms kernel-devel make automake autoconf gcc

Then install VirtualBox:

32bit:

# rpm -Uhv http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.0/VirtualBox-3.0.0_49315_fedora11-1.i586.rpm

64bit

# rpm -Uhv http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.0/VirtualBox-3.0.0_49315_fedora11-1.x86_64.rpm

Right, now for the usb part. Got to find out the Group ID for vboxusers now. Go to Administration -> Users and Groups.

Remeber the Group ID of vboxusers.

Select the vboxusers group and press properties, add yourself to this group.

Add yourself to this group.

Now we just have to add this little line to /etc/fstab

none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=501,devmode=664 0 0

note that 501 was the Group ID for vboxusers, which you are a member of, this grants you usb inside VirtualBox.

Now, reboot and try out your virtual boxes!

Thanks to readysleep for the fstab info!

`yum update`

is to install yum-presto:

`yum install yum-presto`,

and save some time and bandwidth. Next up is to install dkms and the devel package for your running kernel,type in

`uname -r`

in your terminal, and if there is no PAE in there install kernel-devel:

`yum install kernel-devel`

Otherwise install kernel-PAE-devel:

`yum install kernel-PAE-devel`

Then run  yum update, and when that’s done, reboot.

Nvidia drivers, for this we need to enable the RPMfusion repositories:

`rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm`.

Then install the driver, I use the akmod-nvidia package which builds the required module on reboot:

`yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64`,

then reboot.

When you get back you can go to http://www.adobe.com and download the yum flash-plugin for fedora, or click here and install:

`http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(YUM)`

The multimedia stuff is next:

`yum install flash-plugin  gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-freeworld gecko-mediaplayer`

That’s that, you should now be able to enjoy all of the webs offerings!

Credit where credit is due: Leigh on fedoraforums for an excellent Nvidia howto: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204752

First we need to enable the repository for RPMFusion.org as it contains everything we need.

Paste this in the terminal:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

That command installs the RPMFusion repository for you.
Now the codecs we need:

yum install gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-good
gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly
gecko-mediaplayer mozilla-vlc xine-plugin xine-lib-extras
xine-lib-extras-freeworld libquicktime x264 xvidcore

Adobe's Flash Plugin:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm'
yum install flash-plugin

Nvidia driver:
yum install kmod-nvidia
(not necessary as the 6200 is supported outofthebox™ it seems)

All done!
