https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467402 Summary: osc build doesn't Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mmeeks@novell.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- So, I checkout a repository, and do: $ osc build Building mingw32-libpng.spec for openSUSE_Factory/i586 **** Getting buildinfo from server **** wrong repo/arch? I get this acute feeling of powerlessness, and deja-vu reading this. It is the moral equivalent of: **** Something went wrong !!! **** ;-) any chance the software could elaborate ? clearly it knows a lot that I don't but it would be nice if it could let on in at least a few ways: What repo / arch values would it accept ? [ presumably it knows the valid combinations by now ]. Why is my repo / arch not good enough ? [ surely this stuff is built in a chroot jail, that should work ~anywhere ? ]. Where do I go to find help on this ? the manual or build --help is not so helpful in this regard. I know - almost certainly the answer is obvious - if you already understand the build service; but ultimately I don't want to learn everything up-front, incremental deepening of knowledge is fine for me :-) and this is one of the key commands in the: check-out patch build test check-in cycle, that could (perhaps) be more helpful :-) [ thanks for putting up with my rant ]. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
