hi, on irc we had a discussion about adding some logical namespaces. It was started by looking for the right place for a php project. we now agreed on having a "server:" namespace. the first proposed projects in that namespace we see: server:apache (the former Apache project) server:mail (exim and home:choeger:postfix could be moved there) server:ftp server:php (php project, and php extensions, and my hardened php package) server:dns (i will move my pdns, mydns, nsd packages there. maybe the bind and dnsmasq package could move there aswell?:) ) It would be nice to have a server:voip aswell. peter nixon has some packages in that area iirc. :) The jpackage projects are moved into the Java: namespace. Some people might ask: why dont you just move php into the apache project. The answer is pretty short: Because it makes its impossible to build newer php against older apache versions. with the new layout we can add server:apache:<somedist> as build target to the php project aswell as the plain suse distros. :) So in long term i would suggest to join such logical project instead of having multiple "mixed purpose projects". if you want to add a package to such a project please contact the project owner on this list. keep up the good work everyone darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org

Fedora Extras
by Peter Nixon 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hi Guys A number of my packages require "cppunit-devel" which is available natively on SUSE but on Fedora it is part of the "Extras" repository which doesn't appear to be available on the Build Service. How do you suggest I handle this dependency? -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc

java-1_5_0-sun-devel dependency

How can packages that require java-1_5_0-sun-devel and other java packages be built on the build service which appears to only include OSS packages? -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc

Hi Adrian: Sounds good. I in no way want to add any additional work on you guys, I was just wondering when they will be available - and I think the system has been working fairly well, despite its alpha state :-) Keep up the good work!

However, that does not mean that the community does not have influence in how to configure it. We can do a poll of wanted targets for example. The sysadmin is only the poor executor in the end ... bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-help(a)opensuse.org

entering repoview
by Christoph Thiel 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi everyone, we have enabled repoview to make browsing the repositories more useable. This also introduces RSS feeds for all repos. (Some repos might not have the repoview browsing + rss feeds yet, as they are getting those once they are pushed into software.openSUSE.org and it's mirrors.) To get an idea of how it looks like, refer to [1] for the browsing part and to [2] for the RSS feed. I would like to theme the repoview pages a bit more openSUSE-like, but I'm currently busy with other stuff. So, if there is anyone who would like to work on the repoview template, please speak up now! The openSUSE.org wiki or the brand-new build.openSUSE.org theming offer all the stuff that you need, in terms of colors. The repoview package is available from my home project in the openSUSE Build Service (at [3]). Regards Christoph [1] http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/home:/cthiel1/Factory/re… [2] http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/home:/cthiel1/Factory/re… [3] http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/home:/cthiel1/

That's fair enough... :-) BTW, I guess these base distroes can only be maintained by the buildservice staff? Would it be possible to have these community maintained in the future? Just a suggestion :> Thanks, Bernard ________________________________ From: Adrian Schröter [mailto:adrian@suse.de] Sent: Wed 31/05/2006 09:17 To: opensuse-buildservice(a)opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse-buildservice] Fedora Extras Am Wednesday 31 May 2006 18:08 schrieb Bernard Li: > Hi Marcus: > > This is very useful, thanks for setting it up! > > BTW, do you (or anybody else), have an idea when the x86_64 repositories > for FC4 and FC5 will contain all the RPMs?

Hi Marcus: This is very useful, thanks for setting it up! BTW, do you (or anybody else), have an idea when the x86_64 repositories for FC4 and FC5 will contain all the RPMs?

I have synced an extras repositories and asked Adrian to put it on the server. That's because I need packages from the extras repository as well. I think we will have "extras" as a seperate project available soon.

announcing packages
by Marcus Rueckert 30 May '06

30 May '06

hi, as we noticed in the namespace thread we always have the problem that we can run into duplicated packages. i think we should try to avoid that as much as possible. lets cooperate. so i would like to suggest again: 1. announce newly created packages no this mailinglist. if you needed to fork the package please mention why. 2. consider using the namespaces so we have all related packages in some common place. I will start with my packages now. please see the attached text file. :) today i started a server:php project but i havent figured out how to name the packages there yet. i am mainly interested in maintaining the hardened php package. thats all from me for now. :) i think external packagers (packman, guru, usr-local-bin) could do the same. :) darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org

linking packages
by Marcus Rueckert 30 May '06

30 May '06

hi, when ever possible avoid copying the package. you can use the linking feature to pull 3rd party packages into your project. that means you dont have to maintain/update the package and still have the package in your area. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org
