[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE contributor survey
by janfst＠student.matnat.uio.no 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hello, My name is Jan Fredrik Stoveland, and I am a masters student at the University of Oslo writing a thesis on firm-sponsored open source communities. openSUSE is the main case for the study. I have been granted permission to send you this email by Andreas Jaeger and Martin Lasarch, and I hope you do not mind receiving it. I would like to ask all of the members of the this mailinglist to participate in a brief, anonymous electronic survey targeted at active contributors in the openSUSE community. The research is funded by the University, and is independent of any commercial interests. The link to the survey is here: https://nettskjema.uio.no/answer.html?fid=38823&lang=en I have selected these mailinglists as the main community indicator: project, factory, buildservice, wiki and translation. It is of great importance to get valid answers from as many of you as possible. The questions in the survey concern your current engagement in the openSUSE community, your reasons for participating in the community and your affiliation with Novell. I expect the survey will take you 10 minutes to complete, unless you find any questions difficult to answer. What do you get in return for doing this? The results from the survey will be posted to the list within a month, and the thesis with other interesting findings about your community will be published around May next year. Hopefully this will be of interest to you. But first of all I hope you will contribute for the sake of research itself. Not too much academic research has been done on communities that are facilitated by partially-proprietary companies like Novell. Furthermore, I would like to do an in depth interview on the phone with a few of you to get more detailed answers. I will randomly select about 6 people to talk to. In addition I would appreciate to talk to any people that have additional opinions. So if you have something more to say after completing the survey, please send me an email! Thank you very much for your help!

[opensuse-buildservice] Idea for Search engine
by Ladislav Michnovič 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hello. Everybody knows the search for packages in Build Service. http://software.opensuse.org/search And there is a possibility to search packages also for Mandriva, Fedora, Ubuntu and SuSE dist family. Since the openSUSE is built in Build Service (Factory) there is no problem to find a package which is a part of SuSE distribution. But if you want to find a package for e.g. Mandriva which you don't know that is a part of distribution, you'll get no result. This might be confusing for users that they can't find such packages. Could anybody please implement searching also in dist packages for all dists in Build Service? Thanks. Regards Ladislav. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, I am new to the build service and I am not sure if this is the right place to report errors of the build service. I get the following error when I try to build a package: checking how to use DHT... on checking how to use encryption... on configure: error: Cannot find ssl libraries error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.33308 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.33308 (%build) mount: can't find / in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab md: stopping all md devices. xenbus_dev_shutdown: device/console/0: Initialising != Connected, skipping System halted.
