[opensuse-buildservice] pike project
Hello, I'm one of the developers of the open-sTeam collaboration server software (http://www.open-steam.org), which is written in the pike programming language (http://pike.ida.liu.se). In the long run, I would like to use the build service to produce and publish RPM packages of our software, but since there are currently no pike rpm packages about, I tried to build my own. I succeeded (with help by the people on the build service IRC - thanks again!) in creating a project in my build service home and have successfully created packages for openSUSE 10.2, 10.3, SLES 10, Fedora Core 8 and RHEL 5 with it (only for i586, the 64-bit version doesn't seem to compile, though at the moment I think I don't need the 64-bit packages anyway ;-) ). It would be great if you could open a project outside my home for pike, so that it becomes a "regular" package. I've read in the archives that I should probably contact the maintainers of the corresponding group (Development/Languages/Other should be fine for pike, I guess), but I haven't found any information on the website as to how to contact group maintainers ;-) Could you tell me whom to contact about requesting a regular build service project for pike? By the way, the build service is really a great tool. Up to now, I've build my own build environment scripts to create packages for some distributions, but the build service makes this so much easier and less troublesome to maintain!

Since we have so far no official request mechanism for this, please use the bugzilla "opensuse.org" product with "Build Service Request" component. However, most people are asking here like you instead and the good think is that everybody knows already the new project. Would be "devel:pike" project okay for you ? What is your account name to be added ?

Yes, I think devel:languages:pike would be better, since pike is a programming language. My account name is "exodusd". Thanks for the quick reply! Robert Am 01.04.2008 um 16:36 schrieb Marcus Rueckert:

Do you use/do the Roxen or Caudium Web Server? I build locally for them. I think it would be good to get at least Caudium going. What version of pike have you done?

I think we should get the 64 bit working. I just got a 64 bit machine. I am currently as time permits debuging this for the latest released version of pike. I have been submitting my changes to the core project? I maybe able to assist you. I am a bit swamped at the moment.

Thanks for getting pike going and creating a project for it.

I haven't checked Roxen or Caudium... Our open-sTeam server has its own http/https server for its webinterface, although we also have a php api for building frontends with apache2 and php5. I've currently added the 7.6.86 stable release of pike. I'm aware that there is a newer 7.6.112 stable release, but we experienced thorough problems (apparently threading problems) with our open-sTeam software when running with pike 7.6.112. I have, however, backported a patch for some http-request bug in pike that was fixed later in CVS, since that was also a feature we needed for our server. I sincerely hope that we can figure out the problem with 7.6.112, since otherwise we would be stuck at 7.6.86 (and there are a lot of ldap and ssl fixes in 7.6.112 and in cvs which we would love to have ;-) ). I hope I'll find the time in the near future to tackle that problem. Right now I'm a bit busy with one of our php frontends and in creating packages of our open-sTeam software. Since I already cleaned up our init.d scripts to conform to lsb, I hope it won't take too much time to be able to offer open-sTeam on the suse build service, too ;-)

Well, I haven't thoroughly checked the 64-bit build log, since i currently only needed the i586 version anyway and was just curious if the 64-bit would also compile. At first glance it actually seemed to be a crash in the autodoc process trying to build the documentation, so maybe it works without documentation... It's a bit difficult for me to test since I currently have no access to a native 64-bit linux box and scheduling for online builds takes a while to finish. If you are interested, you are most welcome to take a look at it, of course. Can't hurt to have 64-bit packages of pike, too ;-) Best regards, Robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
