rpm macros in Fedora_Core_5
by Daniel Bornkessel 23 May '06

23 May '06

Is it possible that some RPM-macros are missing in Fedora_Core_5? Up to now I came across _jvmdir _jvmjardir ... I think they should be there since they are used throughout the jpackage project which [I think] uses a lot Fedora for a build system -- I could be wrong though.

Mandriva 2006: missing packages
by Daniel Bornkessel 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi. Trying to build some packages, I got an expansion error on Mandriva2006: nothing provides gcc-java The package there is called 'gcc-java', I checked. Can we add it? Thanks, -- Daniel Bornkessel Tel: +49 911 740 53 161 Novell :: SUSE R&D :: Internal Tools / Java Packaging ______________________________________________________________________ :wq

expansion error (FC)
by Bernard Li 23 May '06

23 May '06

On Fedora Core (4 and 5), I'm getting expansion errors which shouldn't occur: nothing provides /usr/bin/symlinks (this should be provided by the symlinks package, perhaps the system does not currently support file based requires?) [x86_64] nothing provides libpng-devel (there should be a x86_64 RPM for libpng-devel) Thanks, Bernard

Fedora Extras for FC4/5
by Bernard Li 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hello there: I've just recently joined the list and have started using the build service - it is pretty neat! I was wondering if it will be possible to include Fedora Extras for FC4/5, they contain a bunch of extra RPMs not included in the standard distributions. Also, has any group built rrdtool-devel for FC? I need that for building the ganglia package. Thanks! Bernard

BuildRequires SuSE <-> RedHat...
by Marcus Schäfer 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, the build server builds my package (sax2) for SuSE dists just fine but to build for RedHat (FC5) I'm using a different spec file. The main reason for this are the package name differences within the BuildRequires statement. For example: SuSE: ghostscript-fonts-std FC5: xorg-x11-server-sdk The package structures on RedHat are very different from the SuSE ones. So it's in many cases not only the name which is different. How do I handle this within one spec file in the opensuse build service ?

status update ..
by Adrian Schröter 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hi, we have updated the Factory distro in the BS yesterday, we have also renamed some project names (people did build against "openSUSE" because they thought it was a distribution, but it is only the tool set for the build service). This triggered some hundred build jobs and we seem to have a technical problem in the backends atm, which slow downs the build. So the turn around times of a build job are quite long atm, we will of course look in the backend problem and we will enable some more build hosts to become faster again. I hope we will be fine again tomorrow. (current state, 350 build jobs are in "waiting" state) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian(a)suse.de

Strange problem
by Peter Nixon 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hi Guys I am attempting to rebuild the Postgresql package from Factory on SUSE 10.0 at: http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=postgresql&project=home%3Ape… I am getting the build error: error: File /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/postgresql-fpic.patch: No such file or directory However that file is most definitely in the list of "Files". Am I going insane or is there a problem here? Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc

opensuse-commander
by Dr. Peter Poeml 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi, I want to share with you a primitive script which allows copying files from and to the buildservice server. It is probably similar (and likely inferiour) to the opensuse-commandline tool from Christopher Hofmann http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=opensuse-commandline&project… and the primary reason I didn't build on it is that it wasn't accessible at the time I wanted to try it out ;) However, I also like the idea of having the functionality in a python library. It can be found here, and if anyone wants to extend it please contact me to get write access: http://svn.poeml.de/svn/osc http://svn.poeml.de/viewcvs/osc/ To explain what's currently implemented, here are usage examples: # list contents opensuse-commander.py ls opensuse-commander.py ls Apache opensuse-commander.py ls Apache subversion # show xml meta opensuse-commander.py meta Apache opensuse-commander.py meta Apache subversion opensuse-commander.py id username # check out sources mkdir subversion cd subversion opensuse-commander.py co Apache subversion [file] vi *.spec opensuse-commander.py diff Apache subversion [file] opensuse-commander.py ci Apache subversion file1 [file2...] (I hope I got that right, it is partly from memory) Regards, Peter -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Thought is limitation.

Build management and dependencies
by Marc Lijour 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi I am part of a team which is working on the development of a Linux distribution (such as SUSE), as part of the European EDOS project (http://www.edos-project.org) We have developed some tools to manage package dependencies which you may find useful. For example, anla (http://brion.inria.fr/anla/) a package exploration utility to spot and to trace dependency problems over time (currently working with a Debian package pool). anla depends on other tools such as ceve, a parser written in ocaml for deb, rpm and other files, and a SAT solver. One of the goals of the EDOS project is to maintain a set of packages on the server side (avoiding dependency issues), but we are also interested in "thinning" a distribution, that is producing a Linux "CD" (for example) containing a requested set of packages, and the minimal set of packages which are necessary to complete the dependency requirements, nothing more. Another interest of ours is the rebuilding of a distribution from scratch, in such a way that a user can reproduce the binaries shipped to him by using only the sources coming with them. The EDOS project also deals with the diffusion of the package (a P2P system is under development) and the testing domain (a portal is also being developed). We would like to know about the issues you may face in your build management project and we would be glad to bring our expertise. We also want to ensure that our tools will work for the SUSE user. All the best, Marc Lijour
