Hello,
I tried the build service for the first time today, and I was quite amazed how handy and versatile it is!
My package requires fxload, and this didn't pose any problems under OpenSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8, but for xUbuntu 7.10 I got the following error:
expansion error nothing provides fxload
What would be the resolution for this problem?
It seems this package is not provided for Ubuntu ?
Maybe under a different name, in that case we can map the name. However, it would be cool, if you can find out what is the status in Ubuntu of that package :)
The problem is that fxload is in Universe and not the core 7.10 distro. http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/admin/fxload My adhoc solution to this for my builds has been to import the source from ubuntu universe into a subproject and link that to my ubuntu 7.10 repository.
Perhaps the entire ubuntu universe can be added to OBS? I'm not sure of the overall size but it would be nice to be able to just target ubuntu 7.10 + universe when building packages with OBS.
The problem with that is, that universe is a moving target. We can never know, if the univerese of Ubuntu does still work together with our copy. And we do not have the power for daily syncs and rebuilds. So, I am very much in favour of adding a Ubuntu:*:Extra project for example where we can build and provide such needed extra tools like fxload. In this way, the user can get a working version and we can trigger rebuilds when we update it. (Maybe fxload is not a good example here, but think of any library what may miss). bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
