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!

Hi,
some servers will be rebooted today, due to a kernel update.
The downtime should be in the range of minutes and happen around
13:30 CEST / 11:30 GMT
This concerns the buildservice hosts api, build, software.opensuse.org.
The download infrasctructure is also affected (downlaod.o.o, rsync.o.o, and
others).

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.

Hi
I've $ubject error messages for packages in:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=Education%3Adesktop
on openSUSE_10.3 and SLE_10 repositories (packages: octave, scilab,
yacas) on both archs.
i586: have choice for libmpfr.so.1 needed by gcc42-fortran: libmpfr1
mpfr
x86_64: have choice for libmpfr.so.1()(64bit) needed by gcc42-fortran:
libmpfr1 mpfr
Can this be fixed global or should I fix this just for the Education
repository?
Regards,
Lars

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.
Let me know if you think this is caused by my package spec file.
regards,
Jeffery

I have a pacakge which I have a release of "svn.1672d" but the build daemon
converts it to 2.1. I may be wrong (syntax?) in my release version but how
does it calculate it to be "2.1" ?
This is the log of the build:
I have the following modifications for libtorrent.spec:
15c15
< Release: svn.1672d
---
> Release: 2.1
regards,
Jeffery
