Hi, I was trying to use source services, to automatically fetch the sources from a git repository, including the spec file, and start building. In my "_service" file I have a "tar_scm", "extract_file", "recompress" and "set_version", but here, only the first two are relevant. My repository actually contains more than one sub-project, so I was using the "subdir" option in tar_scm to only get the sources I need. <service name="tar_scm"> <param name="url">git@192.168.1.1:Blub/git/BigGit</param> <param name="scm">git</param> <param name="subdir">hello1</param> <param name="exclude">.git*</param> <param name="filename">hello1</param> </service> After some trial-and-error, I managed to extract the spec file: <service name="extract_file"> <param name="archive">*hello1*tar</param> <param name="files">*/hello1.spec</param> <param name="outfilename">hello1.spec</param> </service> But then, I was getting an error from the service daemon: Unexpected EOF. In the /srv/obs/log/src_service.log I could see the lines: Use of uninitialized value $r in numeric eq (==) at /usr/lib/obs/server//BSHTTP.pm line 338. Use of uninitialized value $r in subtraction (-) at /usr/lib/obs/server//BSHTTP.pm line 342. Use of uninitialized value $r in numeric eq (==) at /usr/lib/obs/server//BSHTTP.pm line 338. Use of uninitialized value $r in subtraction (-) at /usr/lib/obs/server//BSHTTP.pm line 342. Use of uninitialized value $r in numeric eq (==) at /usr/lib/obs/server//BSHTTP.pm line 338. Use of uninitialized value $r in subtraction (-) at /usr/lib/obs/server//BSHTTP.pm line 342. . I managed to track it down to an empty directory left over after unpacking the file. After that, I added a line at the end of extract_file, so that empty directories are removed. And now it works. Does anyone have a better idea, or some hints that I might be doing something wrong? Or see any problems with this? Otherwise, I am attaching a patch, in case you want to apply it. Kind Regards, Guillem
