So, just do not use full URLs for temporary builds and add them again when you have released the tar ball. -- 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.

The tarball in my local build directory gets replaced by older tarball The only hint is this line in the build log: Run source service: /usr/lib/obs/service/download_files --outdir /tmp/tmpUTLw5Z File-Unpack-0.51.tar.gz /home/testy/src/obs/home:jnweiger:branches:devel:languages:perl/perl-File-Unpack/File-Unpack-0.51.tar.gz differ: byte 1, line 1 .. which just confirms that I am introducing a change. Exactly what I intended. But in reality, the following happens - The tar ball no longer differs. - My changes are tossed away (with possibly surprising build results) - No backup was made, I have to recreate my work.

From the above I see several reasons to reopen and raise to Major issue.

In addition, once the packager learns that the system is fighting against his updates, the documented counter measures do not work: osc build --noservice --local-package Still runs the service and changes the tarball back. The only possible workaround appears to be osc build --offline Temporarily changing the full URLs is not an option for me. It adds a second build cycle after the upload reaches the cpan mirrors. The timing of this is unpredictable. The chances of neglecting (or simply forgetting) the second rebuild for just an URL repair are very high. Thus the service cannot fulfill its purpose. I am not having fun submitting my packages now. -- 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.

Something in the tar ball? Changes in spec file or changes should not be affected. I can not test it atm myself, because the upstream project seems to have removed the tar ball, only an older release exists upstream atm. Actually, this is exactly the case where we wanted to have this check failing, notifing us that upstream is doing interessting stuff which needs to be sorted out. Maybe the 0.58 release was broken or hacked and we should revert as well? -- 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.

But if you do not want to compare or update the sources, just do not use it. -- 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.
