The package anyhow is set as noarch. The link from the games:strategy:turn-based to the other is basically a good idea. Maybe I'll come back to you for some help with this (as I'm only able to access the webinterface at the moment, the possibilities are somewhat limited) Dominique

This means, that we should try more to push the usage of these .repo files than subscribing directly to a channel. Do you know: can these repo files already be understood by rug/zmd/libzypp/yast ? Maybe a small enhancement on them, that when adding a repository they look for *.repo and interpred them (in case only a URL, without a .repo is given) And then one question for UFO:AI: I would like to move that one to Games:Strategy:turn-based (which has not been done due to this data-sharing problem). Can the Build-Server be configured to have a games:data repository and add that one as a 2nd repository in the .repo file of at least games:strategy:turn-based? Probably it could suite other games as well: I think Wesnoth, Torcs and so on also have unified DATA Files all over the repositories. So this one could be added to all games:* repos. Looing forward for a reply / comments Dominique

Up to now, I've never seen BS using my Release-Number inside a spec file, but always replacing it with n.1 / n+m.1 (or by retriggering n.o / n.o+1) But it would be nice if at least the spec file would be respected (as on a local build, the spec file is fully respected for this) Dominique

[opensuse-buildservice] Rebuilding everything?
by Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Strange things happened overnight. When I woke up this morning and went checking my home project on the BS, I found out that every single package is being rebuilt. Even though some already finished, I still have 57 packages on 'scheduled' status, and 3 on 'blocked' (which I've never seen before on BS). Anyone knows what's happening? -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net <> Maceio/AL/BR % http://mteixeira.webset.net <> http://pmping.sf.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

Darix, In normal case, this is probably true, but in a case I just had, it was BAD: - I have a package in my home-repo, linked to an outside, public repo. - I modify a pkg in my home repo - as linking is not working in the BS, I have to delete the link in games:... - I recreate the link in games:... BS builds the package, starting with %{version}-1.1, even though the old package was 'already' at 1.2. So the only solution I had in this case was retriggering the build process twice to fix this. In my SPEC-File was written Release 2.1. You see, it might be a good choice to interpret the release in case it's a higher number compared to what BS is offering/suggesting. There ARE some pacckagers, that seem to think from time to time when they do something. Regards, Dominique

[opensuse-buildservice] GNOME:* projects in Build Service: current status
by Stanislav Brabec 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hallo. GNOME projects have been finally created. Simple description follows. GNOME:STABLE: This project contains packages from the stable branch of GNOME. Current status: Initial sync was done. Will be synced with SuSE Linux FACTORY. No development here. Please send any changes to GNOME maintainers (sbrabec(a)suse.cz, rodrigo(a)novell.com, gekker(a)novell.com) and ask them to include them to factory. Each backport specific change must use %if %suse_version. GNOME:UNSTABLE: Testing of forthcoming GNOME version. Once it will be considered as stable, packages will be copied to GNOME:STABLE and further development will continue in GNOME:UNSTABLE. Current status: Independent development can be done here. No usable packages are here. If no packages will appear here soon, it is possible, that we will use this repository after 10.2 release for testing of move of whole (STABLE) GNOME to /usr. GNOME:Community: Repository for any related GNOME packages, opened for anybody, who wants to participate, with no connection to SuSE Linux releases. If anybody else is interested to become a maintainer, I can add him/her to all of these projects. Feel free to submit to any projects, but remember the sync policy. If you will do any successful change in the synced project, please don't forget to send the change to SuSE Linux GNOME maintainers. You will get confirmation about accepting it to FACTORY. There is not yet any policy about sync dates and times. I plan to do it manually at least for next few weeks. Please suggest any future policy (weekly, 2-3 times a week, daily, if package foo is building correctly in factory, anything else). Note: Maybe it is technically possible to check for changes from the last sync, but I am not sure, whether it is / it is not an effective way. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org
