[opensuse-buildservice] release number for moved packages
by Dr. Peter Poeml 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

If we move or copy a package from one project to another, what happens to the release number? I suppose, it starts to count from the beginning. Is that correct? This is a problem if I adjust the installation source for a moved package, and the package might then never be updated until the release number is higher again. Here is such a case: Installed Packages zsh.i586 4.3.2-10.1 installed Available Packages zsh.i586 4.3.2-3.1 shells I would like to see a way to keep this intact over the move (or respectively, copy the starting release tag).

[opensuse-buildservice] Request for new project
by Gilles Fabio 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hello, I'm using SLED 10 (Novell has recently offered me a one-year subscription activation), openSUSE 10.1, openSUSE 10.2 beta and openSUSE Factory. I'm a huge fan of SUSE Linux distributions (I write a lof of SUSE howtos on my french blog) and I'm used to build my own packages for my own needs and friends. Well, I've made some packages for SLED 10 (F-Spot 0.2.2, banshee 0.11 plugins, some Python libraries and Jokosher) but as my hosting provider is really unstable (my hosting provider is my Internet provider, aka free.fr, it's a free hosting with often server troubles), it's a pain to maintain and share my packages. So, I recently remove my personal repository and I was waiting for a better solution. I think Build Service would be the best one. Well, if it's possible, I would be glad to have a Build Service account. But if it's not possible (for any reasons), I will find another solution to maintain and share my packages. I post this message on this mailing list because I already sent a request on http://build.opensuse.org but I didn't receive any answer, so I don't know if it's the correct process to request an account. Excuse me if this is not :/ In the positive case, I would like to use the name "gfabio" for my repository project, so home:gfabio. Thanks in advance for your answer.

[opensuse-buildservice] build errors for java based tomcat plugin
by Dominic Reynolds 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi, We are having problems getting a package to build - looks like dependncy problems. It is a java based plugin in tomcat for AppArmor. The package tomcat_apparmor is in factory but we would like to make a development version available via the build service. Does the buildservice expand java2-devel-packages to fill the required dependencies? Here is the link showing the build problems: http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=tomcat_apparmor&project=home… Thanks, dominic --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

Discussion with the upstream team revealed, that the next version (probably 0.3.0) should have this fixed so I can do a start menu item without problem. For the time being, I could step around this by creating a shell script, that starts Mars. What do you think about? Dominique

by Dominique Leuenberger 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hi everybody, I just wanted to tell you that in games:strategy:turn-based I started to maintain the game 'Mars, Land of no Mercy'. The game is in very early development stage but progress is being made. If you think it's to early to put it in this prominent place, I can remove it again and currenlty only maintain it in my home. Give it a try, and post some feedback. Regards, Dominique

[opensuse-buildservice] Mandriva 2005 builds all fail
by Dominique Leuenberger 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hi everybody, I just tried to add Mandriva 2005 and Fedora 5 Extra as available repositories to my home:dimstar repository. For Mandriva, it seems almost all packages fail with the same error message: installing bootloader-utils-1.9-3mdk installing kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.4.28.0.rc1.5mdk-1-1mdk Cannot find a boot loader installed error: %post(kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.4.28.0.rc1.5mdk-1-1mdk.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 21 Is this a known bug/'feature' ? Or worth a bug entry? Or are other platforms than SuSE Linux not supported at all? If they are: Can we also get support for later versions inside? Like Madriva 2007 and Fedora 6? At the moment we can only build against old distros in this case. Regards, Dominique

[opensuse-buildservice] Build synchronization bug?
by Steve Beattie 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hey, I've noticed this a few times now: I'll commit an update to a package (via osc if that matters) and then go to the website to watch the build progress for that package. If it happens to be a point where the buildservice is relatively idle, the package will usually have started rebuilding against all of the repositories I've assigned. On multiple occasions I've gone to view a build log for the package, catching it in progress. I'll watch it continue building to completion, only to discover at the end that it just rebuilt the *previous* version of the package, If I then go back to the package status page, the package will have had a new build kicked off for the same repository target; returning to the log, it will indeed be a build for the newly committed version of this package. Is this known behavior? Expected behavior? Please let me know if there's anything in the above that I need to clarify. Thanks. -- Steve Beattie SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. <sbeattie(a)suse.de> http://NxNW.org/~steve/

[opensuse-buildservice] Recompile of linked projects on modification of original
by Dominique Leuenberger 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi, Should a linked project be recompiled when the 'original' is being modified? Example: The game opencity in games:strategy:realtim is linked to home:dimstar. Last evening, I modified the source in home:dimstar and it started to rebuild there. But the version in games:strategy:realtime did not rebuild. Not even, when triggering a rebuild, it contained the same information as the original (so it remained without the modifications I did in home:dimstar). Only deleting and recreating it worked. Should projects in public places not be linked to the home: I especially liked about this idea that I don't have to 'look for' 'my' packages across many projects and I would have them all centralized in my home: Tell me if this is not working and I change my behaviour.. that's probably easier than changing the behaviour of BS Dominique

[opensuse-buildservice] RFC: Game blobAndConquer
by Dominique Leuenberger 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi Everybody, For some time I'm maintaining the game blobAndConquer in my home-Repo (home:dimstar). On most machines this game seems to work and I'm wondering if you'd have some objections if I move it to games:action. Don't just hurry in and say: of course, go for it! First have a look at it. It is a 3rd person shooter (unlike doom, which is 1st person!) but it has quiet a level of violence. Release 0.6 got ublished these days and starts to support localisation. So if somebody has some spare time and some language knowledge, we're also happy for language contributions, besides of testings of course. What do you all think about it? Dominique

[opensuse-buildservice] SPAM: repository names?
by Richard Bos 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

A question about repository names; Recently Archiving:Backup:MondoRescue has been updated, as I build rsnapshot yesterday for suse succesfully I thought that Archiving:Backup: might be a good place. But this means that a repository needs to be created for rsnapshot especially, which I think is overdone. Isn't it possible to store MondoRescue in just Archiving:Backup: so it can be shared with other backup tools? Also the repository has been created twice: Archiving::Backup::MondoRescue Archiving:Backup:MondoRescue The 1st one seems to be empty. Should it to be removed? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] How to do an in-house top-level build of OpenSUSE?
by Mark E Mason 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hello, I'm strongly considering attempting a build of OpenSUSE for an architecture it does not support yet. I have other Linuxes such as Debian and Gentoo running on this hardware, but not OpenSUSE. There was a similar thread last month regarding SPARC. There's the usual bootstrapping issues to work through (I think I can handle those) - but, where should I look for the scripts/programs to drive the top-level configure and build of a distribution? I've found the BuildServer under svn - but it's not clear to me if that's the right tool for this, or if it's overkill or ??? (or if it contains the distribution configuration info). Any thoughts or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark
