It would be good if we could document a proper set of these on a wike page that could be referenced. I know I see a lot of packages on the BS with similar mistakes. I think it could be very useful to have a few packages documented in what would be a correct fashion. An example of good or proper methods for the various cagetories like languages, configure, devel, doc, libs... That way we could refer people to them to get ideas on how to fix their stuff. Maybe this is more a BS issue but I still think it would be good. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb(a)zenez.com> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] spec file wizard - how to proceed?
by Michal Marek 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi, as you probably noticed, the buildservice web interface now has a wizard that helps with writing spec files. Yesterday, I improved it to generate better spec files for perl and python modules (not yet on build.o.o) and I hot already advice on how to add support for apache modules and ruby gems ;-). Of course I'd like the wizard to be able to package as many kinds of packages as possible, but I see some problems I'd like to solve somehow before adding more features: Problem #1 (more theoretical than practical): the main part of the wizard is implemented in the frontend (aka API), the webclient only translates xml to html forms and vice versa. The reason for this is that I'd like to add a wizard interface also to osc one day. The problem is that so far, the frontend has been just a simple proxy to the backend, with access control, without any fancy functionality. Now the wizard adds potentially buggy code that doesn't necessarily need to be there (it would be easily implemented as a standalone application talking to the frontend). The only reason for having the wizard on the frontend is to be able to use it from different clients easily. Problem #2 (practical): To implement good heuristics, the wizard at least needs to look into the source tarball (if not run some commands...). Here comes the problem: 'tar tf foo-1.1.tar.bz2' can take a *lot* of cpu time, so where to perform such expensive actions? a) on the frontend - can be abused for DoS easily b) let the client send the filelist along with the tarball - makes the client implementation too complicated, plus moves the DoS problem from the frontend to the webclient c) on the backend, dispatching the jobs to workers - would also allow for more dangerous analysis of the package, but would impose additional delays d) create a separate wizard service and do all the job there - would also solve problem #1, but would make the client implementation a bit more difficult (need to talk to two different servers) e) [insert great idea here]?

[opensuse-buildservice] Debian Packages file
by Piotr Pokora 29 Aug '08

29 Aug '08

Hi! Maybe I missed some important part of docs, but how one is able to install debian files with apt-get? As an example: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/midgardproject:/midgard19-d… There are correct i386 and amd64 directories with packages, but only one Packages file. It contains either amd64 or i386 paths. Randomly. Is there any workaround?

[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE:Tools* for ppc targets
by Martin Mohring 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

Hi, would you mind that we activate the compilation of the OBS itself (openSUSE:Tools*) for ppc targets, so the ppc users can grab it there without problem? How far have you come with putting the ppc binaries of the wished distros into build repos?

Hello, I mentioned this earlier and was asked to mention it again in the week before my presentation. I'm presenting on OBS at the Utah Open Source Conference on Aug 30 @10:00 MDT. If we could make sure there's no downtime during that hour I will be very glad.

[opensuse-buildservice] Call for help and participation in the openSUSE Forums
by Rupert Horstkötter 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Packagers/Developers, during the merge of sf.net, sls.de and the openSUSE support forums at forums.novell.com into the official openSUSE Forums, we decided to establish a dedicated subsection for questions about the openSUSE Build Service. In addition to that, there's a section dealing with programming/scripting in general. The ultimate goal of that approach was to achieve synergies for the OBS out of the openSUSE Forums (especially to achieve the participation of folks not that used to mailinglists). Unfortunately these sections in the Forums are not that frequently used, questions by newbies could not be answered appropraite as we lack participation of advanced folks in programming/scripting and packaging. Therefore I'd like to ask you if it would be possible for you to help us and participate in the following section of the openSUSE Forums? http://forums.opensuse.org/programming-scripting/ The OBS section is designed as a subsection here, http://forums.opensuse.org/programming-scripting/opensuse-build-service-obs/ The whole OSF staff would be pleased if you'd be able to help out and provide some of your experiences to new and existing users interested in the OBS and programming/scripting in general. As I said we hope to achieve synergies and bring you back some folks interested, but not that used to mailinglists and prefer the Forums as a communication medium. I myself wrote an article at lizards.o.o 2 months ago, that is maybe worth a read in that context, http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/06/17/nntp-access-to-the-opensuse-forums/ I'd love to get an insight into your thoughts about it. Suggestions for further attracting of developers/packagers to use the OSF (besides NNTP) are certainly welcome and appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!
