How to change my e-mail address for build.o.o
by Martin Winter 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

There are several threads asking this very same question. The latest I found was this one: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/buildservice@lists.opensuse.org/th…. However I still do not find an answer to that question. What I tried: - Going to my profile on build.o.o and edit my profile: The e-mail address is not editable. - Change the user meta via `osc meta user -e letsfindaway`: Does not change anything. - Login to Micro Focus and try to edit my profile there: The e-mail address is not editable. So what is the way to change the e-mail address listed on my profile in build.o.o and used to send e-mail notifications? Thanks for any insights and pointers! Martin

[opensuse-buildservice] Add external source to a package?
by Carsten Ziepke 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

Hello, I want to update the package ja2-stracciatella in the games repository to version 0.17.0. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Kieltux:branches:games/ja2-str… The new version needs the library string_theory which is not available for openSUSE. The build process wants to download string_theory from github, because it is not found. [ 36s] Scanning dependencies of target string_theory [ 36s] [ 12%] Creating directories for 'string_theory' [ 37s] [ 25%] Performing download step (download, verify and extract) for 'string_theory' [ 37s] -- Downloading... [ 37s] dst='/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ja2-stracciatella-0.17.0/build/dependencies/lib-string_theory/builder/string_theory-prefix/src/3.1.tar.gz' [ 37s] timeout='none' [ 37s] -- Using src='https://github.com/zrax/string_theory/archive/3.1.tar.gz' [ 37s] -- Retrying... Can I add string_theory (string_theory-3.1.tar.gz) manually to the package and patch the build process? Thank you, Carsten -- Well, since MS cant be sure of the username of someone downloading things, they are going to play it safe and have everything dowloaded and executed by Explorer as suid root. That way, it will run on ANY system anywhere. :) -- George Bonser <grep(a)cris.com>

Oracle Instant Client
by David Nichols 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi, I got notices for deletion requests against the oracle-instantclient packages in two OBS projects. This is a binary package from Oracle - there is no source, but it may be freely distributed: https://www.oracle.com/cz/database/technologies/faq-instant-client.html This package has been listed as blacklisted in OpenSUSE since 2010: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist#Packag… However, in the meantime, Oracle changed their redistribution policy to allow free redistribution of this package in binary format. I was not involved in the discussions, but back in 2010 my colleague got the oracle-instantclient binary packages accepted into OBS; he told me at the time that an exception was made (IIRC - in any cases the packages have been there for a long time despite being on the blacklist). My question to anyone who can help - can this package get accepted into the NonFree project and removed from the blacklist? If not, I believe that forbidding the oracle-instantclient package from OBS and OpenSUSE will adversely impact professionals that work with Oracle DBs - particularly due to the domino effect on dependent packages. There is no legal reason for this restriction - just a philosophical one from my understanding. Example project (now with a deletion request): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:davidnichols/oracle-instantcli… Thanks in advance for any feedback from anyone who has insight into this situation. thx David -- *David Nichols*Qore Technologies, s.r.o.

OBS source services
by Lynn Winebarger 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Hi, I wrote some new source services so I could automate producing spec files for a multibuild of emacs 28+ using different compiler versions for the native-compilation feature, since only one version of libgccjit is allowed to be installed at a time. The source services are sed,pattern-service, and run-services. They are available on github under the MIT license: https://github.com/owinebar/obs-service-sed https://github.com/owinebar/obs-service-pattern-service https://github.com/owinebar/obs-service-run-services They each have the possibility of being used to consume unlimited resources, so I have included system options to restrict the resources consumed using ulimit and (for the latter two) restricting the services that may be generated/invoked and (for pattern-service) output files that may not be generated, e.g. _services, so that recursive invocation is prevented. There is a detailed example in obs-service-pattern-service showing how the 3 can be used together to produce the emacs multibuild specs and file. I wrote a sed script that takes a sed script augmented by the project conf keywords Substitute:, Substitute=: (equivalent to substitute with the name ending in =), and Ignore to transform spec files. I still need to write malicious test cases to verify the restrictions actually work, e.g. a sed script that accumulates an infinite string in the hold space or just loops forever. I'd like these installed on the build server so a webhook trigger can be used to generate the multibuild automatically. Obviously these could be done manually in a shell script, but trying to limit the malicious possibilities of running arbitrary shell scripts is not something I have time for. sed is an inherently restricted language (when run with --sandbox) which is much more amenable to being limited. Thanks, Lynn

Because the file requires zb. hyperscan-devel etc. There's a Fedora:EPEL:9 project with a "standard" repository, but I haven't added that repository to my AlmaLinux repository. I use the repository "CentOS" from Fedora:EPEL:7 with CentOS 7, though. You can see the repository configurations at https://build.opensuse.org/projects/AlmaLinux:9/meta and https://build.opensuse.org/projects/Fedora:EPEL:9/meta. Ah, the AlmaLinux "update" repository is not included in "standard". You can add that repository to your existing AlmaLinux repository with the plus button in the web interface. Then move the "update" repository before "standard" with the up button.

hello list I would like to test a project for a Rehat replica, version 9. I also find entries about Alma-Linux 9, but apparently it is not activated yet or not visible to me? Could someone from the SUSE people "say" something about this? Thanks for an answer, -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards, Günther J. Niederwimmer

Group e-mail address for project maintainers?
by Atri Bhattacharya 23 Jan '23

23 Jan '23

Hi, Is there a way to send an e-mail to all the maintainers of a project (say project FOO) on build.o.o, for instance to escalate a long-pending sr for a pkg whose pkg-maintainer may not be responding, etc.? I see that the web-ui provides a link to e-mail each of the maintainers individually, but no such help to send one to the whole group. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Atri
