[opensuse-buildservice] How to easily create OBS package from specfile
Hi list, I have some prepared packages (i.e. specfile & tarball) that build OK locally. Now I'd like to add them to an OBS project. When I use osc meta pkg -e project-name package-name, I'm asked to fill in the package title and description. Couldn't this step be avoided as the description and title are already available in the package specfile? Or am I simply supposed to copy & paste it? (BTW what takes precedence - specfile metadata of 'obs metadata') ?

While we're at it: and the URL too, please? :)

To my knowledge they are separate - the spec file metadata is used for the RPM
packages, while the obs metadata is used for the presentation on the build
service web pages. But I may be wrong...

And with the patch attached it even updates the URL, based on the "URL:" tag
from the spec file :)
The patch also fixes a small bug in the spec file parsing. If a string after a
given tag contains a colon (like an URL), it would be truncated.
Can you please make sure this patch gets applied? Or should I rather submit a
bug report about this? Thanks!

I just applied a slightly modified version of your patch. Thanks! Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
