I see: Packages like wavpack, avifile, libexif, nvtv, (but also e. g. pilot-link, libgadu, meanwhile, gphoto) have no relation with GNOME. But we have them in GNOME:* to be able to compile multimedia packages and gstreamer for older distros. Having a repository, where all codecs can be in the latest version would be a better solution. Having one package in more repositories is sub-optimal as well. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] expansion error: have choice for
by Ales Nosek 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi all, we maintain a project Java:jpackage-1.7 in BS, which we suppose will include about 500 packages. We've got problems with solving build dependencies: Package 'A' has BuildRequires which can be solved by packages 'B' and 'C' which are also part of the project. This results in "expansion error: have choice for ....". Is there a workaround for this? We don't want to change the BuildRequires of package 'A'. How could we tell BS that for our project it should always prefer package 'B' to 'C' when solving BuildRequires? Thank you Ales --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Proposal: Add LSB Symbol generation to the openSUSE build system.
by Darren Davis 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hello Build Team, I have a proposal. I am working with the LSB (and ISP RAS) on a project to improve their symbol data in their database for ISV applications. If you look at their project ( http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/Main_Page ), you will see they have an LSB Application Test Kit (ATK). An application writer can have symbol data from their application submitted to the LSB Infrastructure Project DB. Currently, they have PERL scripts that use utilities like 'readelf' to extract the symbol information. They also have a web front end to make it easy to submit the data. The goal is that with symbol data from a broad set of applications, that better decisions can be made about what APIs are being used (and can be standardized) by the LSB. The LSB (and Markus Rex) would like us to run these scripts to get the symbol data to add to the LSB database. It seems to me that it would be easier (and quicker) to add the scripts to the openSUSE build system. I would envision a check box that could be selected from the openSUSE build interface that would say "Generate LSB Symbol data files", to make it optional if people would like. Then, as part of the build, the symbol files would be generated and available for the LSB (ISP RAS) engineers to grab and put into the database. Thoughts? Thanks for your time, Darren --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE:10.3 repo
by Adrian Schröter 19 Sep '07

Hi, JFYI, the openSUSE:10.3 repo contains now the packages from 10.3 RC-1. It does also not depend on Factory anymore. No action needed, rebuilds got trieggered automatically :) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Nvidia driver
by Ciro Iriarte 19 Sep '07

Hi, Just read that the rpm packages hosted at download.nvidia.com/novell are built by Novell/Suse, and given they are outdated i would like to know if the novell spec file is available somewhere.

[opensuse-buildservice] boost packages and ubuntu 7.04
by Paul Elliott 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Is there any way to make opensuse buildservice ubuntu 7.04 support the boost development packages such as libboost-filesystem-dev and libboost-regex-dev? These packages are from the universe. boost is a commonly used c++ development library. Thank you. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

[opensuse-buildservice] Status: openSUSE Build Service
by Adrian Schröter 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

* Downtime of several services build service over the weekend, mostly cause by hardware errors. - software.opensuse.org got moved to other server, hardware gets fixed by team of Thomas Siedentopf - build/api.o.o died as well most likely to hardware error, needs to get replaced soon. - New scheduler deployed on friday was buggy, we learn not to deploy larger changes on fridays anymore ;) New hardware should arrive at 1st November at latest, hopefully earlier. * Visit of Martin Kudlvasr and Jan Matejek from Prag are visit Nuernberg this week to join the build service team. - Martin works on improving the statistic module data update, to make it performant. So we can activate it again. - Jan will start with bug fixing to get into the service. He is skilled with python, but learns ruby and rails for now. * Thomas Scholtz imported new icons for the flags and did some fine tuning. This is not yet deployed. * Markus Rueckert finished user directory technically, waits for final texts. * Michael separated dispatcher and publisher from scheduler to improve performance and reliability (see his mail for details). * Robert Lihm joined Build Service team as well as web designer and usability expert. He is about to start on changing the web theme to common openSUSE theme. Afterwards focusing on web page usability review and creating mockup proposals. * Jan worked kiwi config file documentation and the openSUSE usb image configurations. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Some changes in the backend
by Michael Schroeder 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hi Build Fanatics, I just commited some changes in the build service backend code to the SVN that require a small change in the setup. If you don't run your own instance of the build service, you don't need to read any further. We have moved the repository generation from the scheduler into a new process, bs_publish. This will make the scheduler quite a bit more responsive, as repository generation takes some time. We have also moved the dispatcher out of the repository server, there is now a new program, bs_dispatch. So, you need to start two new processes, bs_publish and bs_dispatch. An example setup would be - bs_srcserver (the source manager) - bs_repserver (the repository manager) - bs_sched i586 (scheduler for i586) - bs_sched x86_64 (scheduler for x86_64) - bs_dispatch (the job dispatcher) - bs_publish (the external repository generator) We'll release updated OBS packages soon. Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Markus Rex, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE:10.3 Project
by Adrian Schröter 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi, I created a new openSUSE:10.3 project to be used for creating packages for 10.3 already. Please note that this is currently just another name for openSUSE:Factory, but you can already use it. A rebuild will be triggered automatically, when we import the final 10.3 distro. I will add openSUSE_10.3 targets in some projects, which get suggested by the YaST community repo module. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org
