[opensuse-buildservice] Debian_Etch setup problem?
by Thomas Anders 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Building on Debian_Etch in the BS currently fails for me with: -su: line 0: cd: /usr/src/packages/BUILD: No such file or directory (see https://api.opensuse.org/result/net-snmp/Debian_Etch/net-snmp-main-snapshot…) while a local build works perfectly fine. What's wrong? +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 carefully push a package
by Detlef Steuer 24 Nov '06

24 Nov '06

into inclusion in the main distribution? Are there defined milestones a packages must pass? (Besides a clean build, of course.) What are showstoppers? Is there a predefined way to work a package`s way up into OpenSuse? Or does the intention to include packages from BS into OpenSuse even exist? Is there some document that defines what should happen with BuildService´s packages in the long term? I´m asking because I get regular requests from the R community if it would be possible to include R on the Suse-CDs. Can anyone with more knowledge say anything about it? I´d be very happy to receive any hints.

[opensuse-buildservice] Expansion issues
by Andrew Wafaa 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

In trying to build on SLE10/SLES9/SUSE9.3 I'm getting to expansion errors for a couple of missing packages. These are check and doxygen for SLE10, check for SLES9/SUSE9.3. I also need to specify a different version of autoconf for Factory (require 2.59). Could someone recommend the best way to overcome these issues please?

[opensuse-buildservice] Other Platforms than (open)SUSE in BS
by Dominique Leuenberger 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

hi, In home: repos and on some other spaces, it's common to also find Mandriva and Fedora Repositories (badly not for the latest releases, so onlt FC5 and Mandriva 2006). Who is deciding if they also get added to games:*, server:* and so on? Is it just, when I want it, I add it? And I fix whatever spec file of whatever package I would like to build? Then one more question: What construction can I use to work around the different naming conventions for the distros? something like %if %suse BuildRequires: alsa-devel %else if %mandriva buildRequires: libalsa-devel %endif Are there some specific implementations for this?

Re: [opensuse-buildservice] How to "stack" projects?
by Detlef Steuer 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

thx to all for the quick answers. I tried to build in home:dsteuer first where building failed because of "R not in path". Probably I did not look hard enough to identify the real problem and concluded that R-base was missing. Anyway: some spec-file modifications later it just works.

[opensuse-buildservice] How to "stack" projects?
by Detlef Steuer 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hi, I´ve the package R-base successfully built in home:dsteuer. Now I want to add a project named "littler", which has BuildRequires: R-base. R-base naturally is not in any of the repositories I want to build littler for. How can I do that? Is it possible? I guess yes, but I can´t figure it out.
