[opensuse-buildservice] cross compilation documentation
by Amilcar do Carmo Lucas 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

I would like to have more indepth details about the cross compilation in the os-bs. The only infos seam to be: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/cross_distribution_package_how_to and http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/5/57/FOSDEM_building.pdf Could the info on the pdf be posted on the wiki too ? Maybe as an extention of the cross_distribution_package_how_to page. Could that info be a bit more detailed please ? Am I missing something here ? Has this already been documented somewhere ? The pdf file mentions this : " per repository dependency rewrite rules: Substitute: <package> <replacement packages>" But where do I add that ? To the .spec file ? to the .dsc file ? to both ? -- Amilcar Lucas Webmaster The KDevelop project --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] debuginfo packages
by Dr. Peter Poeml 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, why do some packages are built with debuginfo and some not? See http://software.opensuse.org/download/openSUSE:/Tools/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/ for example Is it correct that debuginfo builds are currently not supported in general by the buildservice?

[opensuse-buildservice] Discussing notification mechanisms
by Dr. Peter Poeml 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

Hi, as we all know, commit notifications are one of the biggest next steps which are needed to become productive. I think a CIA tracking system could be the right thing for us. Or at least it could serve as a model. http://cia.navi.cx/doc I personally have no experience with it. Does anyone? Or better ideas?

[opensuse-buildservice] Feature Request / A rant :)
by Plinnell 18 Jan '07

18 Jan '07

First a small rant :) http://rants.scribus.net/2007/01/12/push-button-packages/ Second, I would like the ability to be able to download the build logs from the web interface. In cases where there are build failures or compiler warnings, it would be very useful to download and forward to devs. /me sees GCC 4.2 landing soon :) Cheers, Peter

[opensuse-buildservice] new project: Slind tools
by Gernot Hillier 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

Hi guys! I'd like to add a new project to the OpenSUSE build service. Our team at Siemens decided to go for an own, quite small Embedded Linux distribution called Slind (targeted at least for ARM,PPC,MIPS and certainly x86). It is - after some discussion - Embedded Debian based, but this is another story. As I'm in the SUSE fraction in our team ;-), I'd like to provide SUSE tools for building target images et al. with it. Therefore, I'd like to add a new OpenSUSE project for it. Question 1: am I allowed to create such a project with osc and is it ok with you? (I'm sure no-one is frustrated that we use the build service to in some way support other distributions, otherwise you wouldn't have added support for them, right? ;-) ) Question 2: I thought about either usind "Slind", "devel:tools:Slind" or "devel:tools:building:Slind". Any preferences/objections/suggestions? Thanks in advance! PS: Should someone be interested in Slind, please refer to http://www.emdebian.org/slind.html or http://www.slind.org. But please beware - it's all rather incomplete and in alpha/beta state... -- Bye, Gernot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Account Activation
by Jordan Zebor 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hello, My name is Jordan Zebor and I work for the Educational Technology Department of San Diego Unified School District. I am very interested in the build service, specifically so that I can help create a repository of educational applications to be used with Suse. I have experience with building apps from source and creating packages. Currently my build services account has not been enabled even though I requested this ~ 1 month ago. Who can I contact about the status of my account and what can i do to get it enabled ? If this is not the proper channel to request such info please let me know. Thanks -- -Jordan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] New openSUSE Factory snapshot in Build Service
by Adrian Schröter 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi, I have updated the Factory snapshot inside of the Build Service. The main changes, which might cause some trouble to you are: * Kernel update to 2.6.20 (esp for kmp modules) * Gnome libs got moved to /usr, this might need changes in depending packages. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian(a)suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org
