[opensuse-buildservice] Creating packages through the API - Help?
Hi! You may have heard of this funny little thing called Project Bretzn, which Frank Karlitschek announced at the openSuse conference last week[1]. I'm one of the people working on the connecting-the-dots bit for it, and as the subject hints at, I have now run into what seems like a bit of a problem: I cannot find any functions to actually create a new package using the web API. I can interact with existing ones perfectly fine (storing new information into _meta), but creating new ones seems to be missing. Can someone help me out here? I further assume that the same problem exists for creating sub-projects, and as such would like to request assistance with this as well - this is less important, but would be greatly appreciated if it is possible. In short, what i would like to request is: Pointers to which functions i will need to call to create a new package, and to create new sub-projects. Thank you in advance for your help! :) [1] For those who don't: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/10/26/from-the- developer-to-the-user-and-back-announcing-project-bretzn/ :) -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://leinir.dk/ Co- existence or no existence - Piet Hein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I think you use the same methods as when editing project/package metadata. To create a new project you do: PUT /source/<project>/_meta and for packages: PUT /source/<project>/<package>/_meta Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) openSUSE Boosters Team "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Yep, that is correct. There is no other way to do it. Of course you need to create first the project and afterwards the packages. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the confirmation there :)

Yeah, i have a check in place to ensure that packages aren't stored into a non-existent project :) -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://leinir.dk/ Co- existence or no existence - Piet Hein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Thanks! Glad to hear i'm walking down the right path, at least :) The problem is that when i tried to create a package in this way, i am given a 404 no such package error: for example doing: PUT /source/home:leinir:ocs-buildservice/atestpackage/_meta yields: <status code='404' origin='backend'> <summary>package 'atestpackage' does not exist in project 'home:leinir:ocs- buildservice'</summary> </status> Whereas attempting to store _meta on an existing package (yeah, quickly created random package) works fine: PUT /source/home:leinir:ocs-buildservice/asdf/_meta yields: <package project="home:leinir:ocs-buildservice" name="asdf"> <title>asdf</title> <description>fdsa</description> <build> <enable repository="openSUSE_11.3" arch="i586"/> <disable repository="openSUSE_11.2" arch="x86_64"/> <disable repository="Mandriva_2010"/> <enable/> </build> <url>http://opendasdf.afds</url> </package> -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://leinir.dk/ Co- existence or no existence - Piet Hein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
