http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197512 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197512#c2 --- Comment #2 from Ralf Habacker <ralf.habacker@freenet.de> --- As a test I linked another package first with $ osc linkpac windows:mingw:win32 mingw32-freetype home:rhabacker:linkedprojecttest then checked it out with osc co, modified it and checked it in again with osc ci. In this case the problem does not occur. The difference is that in this case the _link file contains the deleted files as patches: <link project="windows:mingw:win32" package="mingw32-freetype" baserev="c1e13cf1c1f60a14cd507945f48ffef9"> <patches> <delete name="freetype-2.4.12-pkgconfig.patch"/> <delete name="freetype-2.4.12.tar.bz2"/> <delete name="freetype-doc-2.4.12.tar.bz2"/> <apply name="project.diff"/> </patches> </link> From this follows that with the described creation of the branched project the creation of the _link file does not work. For testing, osc was used with the following version: $osc --version 0.172.0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
