Hello folks, I have 2 questions: 1) I want to branch a package, it prompt "branch target package already exists", does it mean some one own this branch? How do i contribute to this package? 2) I found one package does not in openSUSE:Factory, so I'd like to add it in and take charge of it, how do i create one branches for openSUSE:Factory. Yes, i have read http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Collaboration but could not find any thing that could solve my problems. Thanks a lot --- Ray Wang (王磊) Software Engineer rawang@novell.com +86 10 6533 9220 Novell Software (Beijing) Ltd Making IT Work As One www.novell.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Hello Marcus,

...

I have 2 questions: 1) I want to branch a package, it prompt "branch target package already exists", does it mean some one own this branch? How do i contribute to this package?

If you didn't create the branch on your own the target project has most likely defined a "develproject" (a project where the branches are created and the development takes place). So you either ask to get permissions to this develproject or you create the branch in your home project (use "osc branch ... --nodevelproject).

regards to the latter you have mentioned above, does it mean I create a branch against to that branch (a develproject or what else), then i submitreq to that branch, and that branch owner submitreq to openSUSE:Factory?

...

2) I found one package does not in openSUSE:Factory, so I'd like to add it in and take charge of it, how do i create one branches for openSUSE:Factory.

What about my second question? :) Thanks a lot Ray -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Sorry I mixed something up here - if osc prompts that the "branch target package already exists" it means that this is already somewhere in your home:<user>:<project> project.

Exactly.

Thank you for your confirmation.

I can't really answer this one:) but afaik there are no concrete

to add plans how

3rd party packagers can contribute to factory.

Thanks here too. --- Ray Wang (王磊) Software Engineer rawang@novell.com +86 10 6533 9220 Novell Software (Beijing) Ltd Making IT Work As One www.novell.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
