[opensuse-buildservice] ANN: osc local build support
by Dr. Peter Poeml 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi, the latest osc package (0.7) in openSUSE:Tools has support for local builds. usage: 1. osc build <platform> <arch> <specfile> [--clean|--noinit] 2. BUILD_DIST=... osc build <specfile> [--clean|--noinit] where BUILD_DIST equals <platform>-<arch> When you call it for the first time, it will tell you how to add some configuration to ~/.oscrc. You may want to configure sudo with option NOPASSWD for /usr/bin/build and set su-wrapper to 'sudo' in .oscrc. Let me know how it works you. Regards, Peter -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Thought is limitation. Research & Development Free your mind.

[opensuse-buildservice] Release number
by Christian Boltz 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, a miror question about / problem with the Release: number: In the specfile, I have to set a release number: Release: 42 (If I don't, rpm complains and the build fails.) The build service edits this number when building the package and sets it to 1.42 then 2.42 then 3.42 etc. This makes the release number in the specfile quite useless because it's only on the second position. The behaviour can also cause problems when someone imports a package to the build service. Say I have released a manually built foobar-1.0-42 package, then move to the build service and do some small changes without changing the version number. The build service will compile a foobar-1.0-1.42 package which looks "older" to RPM :-( Are there any plans to change the behaviour regarding the release number? Regards, Christian Boltz -- Was hat ein Revolver mit Windows 98 gemeinsam?

[opensuse-buildservice] Remove package from the repository
by Richard Bos 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Dear buildserver maintainer(s), could one of the opensuse buildserver maintainer(s) please remove the following packages: home:/rbos/SL-10.0_i586/i586/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.i586.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.0_i586/src/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.src.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.0_x86_64/src/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.src.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.0_x86_64/x86_64/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.x86_64.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.1_i586/i586/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.i586.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.1_i586/src/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.src.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.1_x86_64/src/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.src.rpm home:/rbos/SL-10.1_x86_64/x86_64/gramps-2.1.90-7.1.x86_64.rpm The got left behind after I renamed the package name in the specfile from gramps to gramps-beta. At the moment gramps might get the gramps beta version, which is something I tried to avoid.... After the removal of the above mentioned packages, the package database is of course out of sync. Can this be synchronized, or should I start a kind of dummy build? Sorry for the additional work! -- 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

Perhaps it sheds more light on this. The summary is this: "Stupid packaging problem" Sounds like they accidentally (once upon a time) changed the package name instead of the version #? In any case, they say that dbus and dbus-1 are essentially they same.

(10:11:42) kay: only one dbus (10:12:52) normp: kay: I have an rpm that depends on dbus-1 (dbus-1-v#, dbus-1-glib-v#, etc) and another that depends on dbus (dbus-v#, etc). They conflict - both trying to use the same conf file, etc. (10:13:39) normp: more specifically, I'm trying to build hwinfo on fedora. hwinfo has dependency on dbus-1 and hal, but hal has dependency on dbus. Hence I get the dual but conflicting dependency. (10:14:20) kay: normp: yeah, it's a silly packaging problem (10:14:32) normp: can't find anything in google explaining difference between dbus and dbus-1, why the odd naming convention, etc. (10:14:48) kay: it's distro specific, you should probably ask on the fedora lists to get that resolved (10:14:50) normp: Am I OK putting hwinfo's dependency on dbus? Are they really the same? (10:15:21) kay: dbus and dbus-1 are the same, yes. at least today, we have only dbus in one version (10:15:28) normp: ok. Thanks. (10:18:36) normp: kay: follow-on... hwinfo comes from suse, has the dependency on dbus-1. You mention 'silly packaging problem'. ShonyK: why should this be a bug? (10:19:28) normp: dannyK: I don't know - I'm just trying to solve this dual/conflicting dependency problem. (10:19:45) kay: normp: oh, mixing system rpm's across distros doesn't really work, yeah (10:19:59) dannyK: normp: is this really a problem? (10:20:16) dannyK: normp: this work perfect on SUSE ...

I'm using the opensuse build-service. hwinfo has dependency on 'dbus-1' and 'hal'. Works fine on suse. But on fedora, hal has dependency on 'dbus' not 'dbus-1' and conflicts. Can't build. If there's truly one dbus, with a 'silly packaging problem', is the real answer to get them aligned on the 'real' version of dbus? (10:23:36) normp: dannyK: if you have other suggestions and want to sidebar (since not directly related to hal, even though the original question is) I'd be happy to hear them :) (10:26:59) dannyK: If you try to build with the opensuse buildservice with *one* specfile for all distros you need IMO to use ifdef's for different package names ... bug you should maybe ask this on the related opensuse ML ... btw. IMO (and IIRC) there is some kind of mapping in the buildservice to handle different package names for the same package. If this not work for dbus you should report this (10:32:27) normp: dannyK: thanks. Yes, I have been working with some at the build service.

This is nothing what can be fixed via mappings, it is a packaging issue of dbus-1 in first place. Either dbus-1 packages for Fedora needs to be able to coexist with dbus-0 packages or it must be possible to setup a system with dbus-1 only.

(10:40:07) normp: dbus (10:40:11) davidz: normp: on Fedora the package have always been 'dbus' (10:40:14) davidz: the name that is (10:40:25) davidz: of the rpm (10:40:34) mjg59: Well, mandrive may be broken (10:40:34) normp: therein is the problem - hwinfo requires dbus-1, and they can't coexist appaently (10:40:58) mjg59: normp: They're the same package (10:41:17) mjg59: Or, at least, they should be (10:41:18) dannyK: then ifdef the buildrequires and use your own for fedora (10:42:33) normp: you mean build my own hal or hwinfo. I'm a ways down the road of separate builds for the distros.

(10:45:06) dannyK: davidz: this is maybe not so easy with the opensuse buildservice, where you can build for more than only one distribution (10:45:42) davidz: dannyK: so the whole idea of the opensuse buildservice is to use the same spec file? (10:45:46) normp: using %if (distro) all over the place... (10:46:06) davidz: dannyK: might be good, I don't really know much about packaging... :-) (10:46:14) dannyK: and the advantage of the buildservice is: only one spec and the package build on SUSE/Fedora4/5/mandriva ... (10:46:27) davidz: ok (10:46:32) dannyK: should build ;-) (10:46:50) normp: davidz: really, quite nice. problem came with the dual/imcompatible dependencies of dbus and dbus-1 (10:47:09) dannyK: yes looks so (10:48:13) dannyK: normp: use %if (distro) only for the package requirements and maybe Provides/Obsoletes -Norm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] state of http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/[SUSE_Linux_9.3]
by Hans-Peter Jansen 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, now that all issues concerning $subject seems to be consequently ignored, I try one more time: After providing a too early released 3.5.4, the whole repo got removed, but without reverting to a decent backup version (e.g. 3.5.3). This is very unfortunate, since I'm as silly as trusting your service in providing some decent KDE version, which I do rsync stupidly with --delete. Okay, that's definitely my fault, which I do regret! Now I'm desperately fighting with designer crashing way too often, up to the point where I decided to rebuild qt3-3.3.6-151.1 in order to get to the debuginfo packages. But no hope, no src package available. Adrian, while the build service concept is sound, and I understand, that there's no warranty in any aspect, but KDE: is a big mess, which needs urgent fixing. I'm sure, I'm not the only one, who relies on it. Getting ignored with notifying issues doesn't raise confidence either. Am I forced to revert to 9.3's original KDE version in order to get back to a consistent system?

The problem is that some package within the BuildRequires requires dbus-0. This is nothing what can be fixed via mappings, it is a packaging issue of dbus-1 in first place. Either dbus-1 packages for Fedora needs to be able to coexist with dbus-0 packages or it must be possible to setup a system with dbus-1 only. This is not an issue of the build service, it is a coding issue in first place.
