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... [ 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 + KIWI not finding Leap 15.5 packages
by Linux Kamarada 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to use OBS + KIWI to build this live ISO image based on Leap 15.5: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:kamarada:15.5:dev/Linux-Kamara… But it fails to build. And when I inspect the build log: https://build.opensuse.org/public/build/home:kamarada:15.5:dev/images/x86_6… I find messages like this: system: Problem: the to be installed nautilus-lang-41.5-150400.3.6.1.noarch requires 'nautilus = 41.5', but this requirement cannot be provided Well, I'm using Leap 15.5 on my PC and I have nautilus = 41.5 installed from the OSS repo. As a matter of fact, it's here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Leap:15.5/nautilus I believe the problem is with OBS (not with KIWI) because I originally reported this problem on the kiwi-images Google Group: https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/kiwi-images/c/ND_hMwhjk1Y And I was able to build that image locally using KIWI alone and the source code hosted at GitLab: https://gitlab.com/kamarada/Linux-Kamarada-GNOME/-/tree/15.5-dev-light So, why is OBS not finding those packages? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Antonio The Linux Kamarada Project https://linuxkamarada.com/

openSUSE Tumbeweed Minimal Images broken
by Jim Henderson 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

I'm looking to use the openSUSE Tumbleweed Minimal Images (as the JeOS image is marked as deprecated and that the minimal shoudl be used instead), but when selecting that as the base template, and clicking "create appliance", an error banner shows on OBS reading "Package has no source revision yet". Clicking the template image name takes me to the OBS project (https:// build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Templates:Images:Tumbleweed/kiwi- templates-Minimal), which displays the error banner: "Files could not be expanded: conflict in file kiwi-templates- Minimal.spec". No source files show unless you click "Show unmerged sources". The project itself shows four users, but none of them are identified as holding any roles, so I'm not sure who to report this to directly. Can someone take a look at this? -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits

19 Jul '23

Hello, is there a way to extend the database of file-magic when installing a RPM package. Any example package/spec doing that? I tried Google, but that's not the easiest search term and thus I found nothing. For Freedom in Peace -- http://www.dstoecker.eu/ (PGP key available)

linking to an old package version
by Peter Czanik 12 Jul '23

12 Jul '23

Hi, I'm trying to find pcre2 for SLES 12 in the buildservice. Syslog-ng is switching to pcre2 from pcre, and SLES 12 does not include it by default. As there are still requests related to my unofficial syslog-ng repo for SLES 12, I'd like to add pcre2 to my repo, so I could keep compiling syslog-ng. On software.opensuse.org I found pcre2 in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel%3Alibraries%3Ac_c%2B%2B/pcre2, but that does not seem to build for SLES 12. Clicking expert download brings me to an old source rpm download. But is there a way I could link to this old version using osc or in the web interface without downloading and re-uploading the rpm? The web interface seems to link to the very latest version. Peter
