[opensuse-packaging] Different build behaviour in Factory
Hello, A significant change, how we build openSUSE:Factory and all repos building against it have just made effective. This change has the effect that we will not publish packages anymore when they have effective not changed. So it should be way more comfortable to follow up Factory. The same message, a bit more verbose can be found here: http://news.opensuse.org/2009/02/05/more-efficient-factory-development/ However, this is new stuff, so we might have introduced new problems, even though we hope to have implemented this on the save side. But early in the Alpha phase of 11.2 is a good point of time to test this :) We may activate this compare check also in 11.1 and before builds later, but lets first look how good it works for factory :) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

This also comes at a price: You need to review your build logs from time to time to see if your package rebuilds different binaries for nonsense reasons. E.g. all packages containing javadoc will be different unless the package uses -notimestamp. But there are similiar cases where applications include the build date or build host in their config files - which is pretty much nonsense IMO, so should be either patched our replaced with something meaningful to the user, e.g. the time of the last .changes entry.
