For example, searching for 'fluxbox' returns nothing but: fbdesk (1.4.1) despite fluxbox being in the X11/windowmanagers repository it is totally missed. This problem has been reported on the open-suse lists a number of times. ----------------------------- Specifically on 7/21/2010: I have run webpin several times on 11.3 and it always comes back with "No results ..." Is it set up yet? Example: 11:30 zephyr:/home/backup/rpms/suse11.3> webpin kdelibs3 .. performing request on http://software.opensuse-community.org/ws/searchservice/Search/Simple/openSU... results found for "kdelibs3" in openSUSE_113 Now I know kdelibs3 is in OBS, I installed it earlier and I can look at it here: http://opensuse.ca.unixheads.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.3/i586/k... but it doesn't show up in webpin.... What's up with that? ----------------------------- Again on 10/10/2010: On Monday 11 October 2010 10:49:17 Carlos E. R. wrote:

When can we expect webpin to work for 11.3? This has been broken for how many

months now??

I also wonder why. Apparently somebody rebooted the box and forgot to restart the service. Can you check it now?

Will Stephenson ----------------------------- And Again on 11/04/2010: Guys, All I wanted to do was get a new bootsplash. So I go to webpin and type in bootsplash expecting the normal 20 or so. But *nothing* is indexed except: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.3/standard Why? I know there are many bootsplashs in build service, but how can I find them? ----------------------------- Bottom line is we are nearly six months since 11.3 release and webpin, one of the most useful and most relied upon tools for package location is still totally broken. It has become apparent that this isn't a simple "forgot to restart the service" issue. It looks like the indexes are totally broken and no build service packages are ever returned. So -- it needs some tlc. Both the CLI webpin and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.3/standard should work and return a listing of package available it both 11.3/standard and buildservice. -- 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.
