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

CentOS 8 Stream builds unresolvable
by Martin Tůma 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Hi, For some time, CentOS 8 Stream builds are unresolvable because of the following error: unresolvable: nothing provides gcc = 8.5.0-18.el8 needed by gcc-c++, (got version 8.5.0-15.el8), nothing provides libgomp = 8.5.0-15.el8 needed by gcc, (got version 8.5.0-18.el8) Can someone please have a look at it? I doubt that it is a Centos problem and they have broken gcc packages in the distro for weeks... Thanks M.

[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...

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.

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.

Issues with my home branch project
by Bjoern Voigt 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

I have two new issues with my home branch project home:bjoernv:branches:network:vpn (branched from network:vpn). I need an extra package libnl3-devel >= 3.4.0 to enable ovpn-dco. This is no problem for Tumbleweed, which includes libnl3-devel 3.7.0, but for Leap 15.4 and 15.5. The existing old project configuration used an extra repository for this, but this stopped working and I have no backup of the old project configuration. Based on the OBS documentation I started a new solution and created a file _aggregate. This _aggregate file links two existing packages unmodified to my repository. This works locally with "osc build openSUSE_Leap_15.5 --clean *.spec". Is it possible to disable the extra packages for Tumbleweed, which already has the correct packages? > cat _aggregate <aggregatelist> <aggregate project="home:plater"> <package>libnl3-devel</package> <package>libnl3-200</package> <repository target="openSUSE_Leap_15.4" source="15.4" /> <repository target="openSUSE_Leap_15.5" source="15.5" /> <repository target="openSUSE_Tumbleweed" source="Tumbleweed" /> <repository target="openSUSE_Factory" source="Factory" /> <repository target="openSUSE_Factory_ARM" source="Factory_ARM" /> </aggregate> </aggregatelist> The second problem is, that OBS stopped building and publishing the openvpn package in the repository. This was probably caused by some of my tests. I copied a modified project configuration from network:vpn. Building and publishing is enabled in the Web UI. But now my download repository is empty (see https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bjoernv:/branches:/network…). How can I re-enable building and publishing? > osc meta prj <project name="home:bjoernv:branches:network:vpn"> <title>Branch project for package openvpn</title> <description>This project was created for package openvpn via attribute OBS:Maintained</description> <person userid="bjoernv" role="maintainer"/> <build> <enable/> </build> <publish> <enable/> </publish> <repository name="openSUSE_Tumbleweed"> <path project="openSUSE:Tumbleweed" repository="standard"/> <arch>i586</arch> <arch>x86_64</arch> </repository> <repository name="openSUSE_Leap_15.5"> <path project="home:plater" repository="15.5"/> <path project="openSUSE:Leap:15.5" repository="standard"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> </repository> <repository name="openSUSE_Leap_15.4"> <path project="home:plater" repository="15.4"/> <path project="openSUSE:Leap:15.4" repository="standard"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> </repository> <repository name="openSUSE_Factory_ARM"> <path project="openSUSE:Factory:ARM" repository="standard"/> <arch>aarch64</arch> </repository> <repository name="openSUSE_Factory"> <path project="openSUSE:Factory" repository="snapshot"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> </project> Björn

Build capacity banner
by Georg Pfuetzenreuter 25 Jun '23

25 Jun '23

Hi, I have a request regarding the new "Degraded build capacity for s390x and PowerPC!" banner message. I understand its relevance, but wonder if it could it be made to either stick at the top of the page upon scrolling down or, alternatively, be combined with "Dismiss" button? I use an increased default browser zoom level and the banner takes up about 70% of my screen - making the OBS GUI experience a bit tough. :-) Attached is a screenshot of what it looks like trying to read a spec file. Unsure if I'm the only one with this issue. Cheers, Georg
