Actually we should perhaps just sign it with a known key. Also, we will switch to per-project GPG keys in the future.

[opensuse-buildservice] Splitting the buildservice mailinglist
by Bjørn Lie 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Now that the buildservice is open for all, how about splitting the mailinglist in two. Meaning buildservice/-user/newbies/virgins/support/help/whatever@open.. and buildservice-expert/project/ũberhacker/whatever@open... The reason I ask is this: I'm a baby-rpm/spec creator and I have quite often "stupid" questions I would like to ask, but I feel this list is not the right place to put said questions forward. If a "lower" entry list where available, I/we could play with our own kind. Of cource I hope a lot of the oldtimers would subscribe to that list too, just to give a hand to us lost newborn.

[opensuse-buildservice] 2 for me unsolvable problems
by Dirk Stoecker 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hello, 1) The project https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Adstoecker&package=GMT builds fine with all i585 packages, but Fedora x86_64 fails with xgrid_utility.c:5:27: error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory Why does this work in the i586 variant and not in x86_64? openSUSE works fine. 2) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Adstoecker&package=nt… tells me for Fedora 6 and 7, that the spec file seems not to be a spec file, which is really strange, as it works for 8 and the file should be the same for 8. Also works for the other distributions. Any advice, what to do here?

[opensuse-buildservice] server:mail claws-mail package
by Krzysztof Kotlenga 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi. Current Claws build is incompatible with clamav 0.92 pushed to 10.3 update today (prevents security update). This is libclamav.so.3 vs libclamav.so.2 dependency problem. Rebuild? Word about changelogs: The one in the .spec and the one in the claws-mail.changes. They don't match, one is from suse and the other from Packman. This is purely insane... Last thing: it looks like bugowner isn't set for the project yet? I'm looking for a link called "[Report Bug]" in the webclient but can't see it.

[opensuse-buildservice] expansion error
by Jasem Mutlaq 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hello, I tried the build service for the first time today, and I was quite amazed how handy and versatile it is! My package requires fxload, and this didn't pose any problems under OpenSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8, but for xUbuntu 7.10 I got the following error: expansion error nothing provides fxload What would be the resolution for this problem? Thanks!

[opensuse-buildservice] End user frontend planning
by Benji Weber 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Greetings All, Given the proposed roadmap for the build service end user frontend[0][1], and the current state of the software portal project[2] I believe it is now necessary to discuss the future plans and strategy for end user software access in openSUSE. In order to avoid duplication of effort and NIH[3] syndrome it would be wise to discuss and agree upon a strategy now before we get too far down any track. A very brief summary of the current state * http://software.opensuse.org/search is currently live, and allows end users to locate packages/patterns packages packaged within the build service and install them easily. On the roadmap is adding more features such as statistics, tags, screenshots. * Software Portal is a project started in the middle of this year, to improve the end user experience of locating & installing software, and to bring together metadata from various sources with user generated metadata.[4] The interest in this project waned over the summer months while everyone was very busy with the upcoming 10.3. However, there is now renewed development, see footnote for screenshots/status.[5][6] The question is where do we go from here. We don't feel it's worth continuing to develop the software portal project if all the same features are going to be implemented in the build service frontend. Is developing the build service frontend the best strategy? We would be interested in hearing your thoughts,strategy,advice so we can move forward in cooperation not competition with the strategy that will most benefit openSUSE. Some of my personal thoughts on the matter follow: We need an end user service to enable users to: - Locate & Install Software - Contribute feedback - Ratings, Tags, Bug reports... - Contribute metadata - Screenshots, Icons, Descriptions... - Connect software to related resources - Documents, Bug reports, Forum Discussions A lot of the data required to expose such a service to end users is available within the build service already. It already knows about all the software built with the build service. Therefore it might seem to make sense to implement a service for end users to locate software on top of the build service - like software.opensuse.org, and incrementally add features to the build service to store and reconcile user oriented data with the packager oriented data. However, I see some fairly significant drawbacks to this approach. 1: Limited To software built with the openSUSE instance of the build service. You're pretty much guaranteeing users still have to look in multiple places to find software, which is less than ideal. OBS will never have all software for legal reasons, and people will always be building their own software, other distributions have their own build services etc. 2: Different concepts. Build service being originally aimed at packagers might make it difficult to provide the best interface for end users. Packagers are interested in the details of packages, what is in each package, where it is, etc. End users mostly want to find & obtain software. 3: Anti-SOA Does it make sense to make the build service into a monolith which does everything, or keep it within a well defined scope. A service for building software, and create other services for other tasks. e.g we have users.opensuse.org for user identity rather than bolting it onto the build service. Do one thing well isn't just the unix way. Of course the build service already has a lot of the data end users need, and packagers using the build service can make use of much end user generated data. However, a monolithic system is not required for data sharing. We could develop an end user service & frontend that is distinct from the build service, but can share data with it.[7] [0] http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Roadmap [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/End_User_Frontend [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Portal [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here [4] http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/opensuse/slurp.png [5] http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Portal#Status [6] http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/swp/app_view.png http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/swp/app_search.png http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/swp/ [7] http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/opensuse/obs_monolith.png vs http://bw.uwcs.co.uk/opensuse/split_services.png -- Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Request for new project: X11:windowmanagers
by Brandon Philips 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hello- I would like to have a new project called X11:windowmanagers created. The project would initially be home to pek, wmii and related utilities. Off the top of my head these projects should move in too: fluxbox and dwm.
