[opensuse-buildservice] linking to packages built with the build service
by Robert Schiele 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Hello! Currently there is no way to link to a package built on the build service because if we do so this link will break on every rebuild since the release number will change. Because of that I recommmend to automatically create symbolic links without the version number as we have in the update directories on ftp.suse.com. For example: zypper.rpm -> zypper-0.6.15-0.1.i586.rpm If we do so we can just link to http://software.opensuse.com/download/.../packagename.rpm. This link will never break due to an automatic rebuild. Robert -- Robert Schiele Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@gmail.com "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."

[opensuse-buildservice] preferred rpms and ccache
by Michael Wolf 09 May '07

09 May '07

Yo In home:maw, I have two packages which may be of interest to other people using the build service. First is a patched version of osc. It has two patches. One patch, pubkey-instructions.patch, is pretty straightforward, and I think it should be committed to svn. Another patch, preferred-rpms.patch, lets you run osc with the environment variable OSC_PREFERRED_RPMS set. This allows you to run builds with your own packages - it's useful when you update foo, and then get to work on bar, upon which foo depends. Sure, foo will be rebuilt automatically by the build service, but sometimes it takes a while; this way you can keep on working. As is, it's pretty hacky and kind of dumb (osc will download the packages needed to build your package even if that package already exists in your preferred rpms directory), but it might be useful to other people anyway. It's been very useful for me, at any rate. (Is there already a better way to do this? I couldn't find it...) Second is a patched version of ccache. This links /usr/local/bin/{gcc,cc,g++,c++} to /usr/bin/ccache. The result is that ccache is transparently invoked when building, no need modify your .spec or anything like that. Also, the default cache size is raised to 3G and ccache's directory goes into /.ccache. To use, you currently need my patched osc; put the ccache package into your preferred rpms directory and build away. At the risk of stating the obvious, I don't advise installing this package outside of osc build roots. Together, these make building large packages (such as firefox) and groups of many packages with lots of interdependencies (such as gnome) much faster. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE_Factory broken
by James Ogley 02 Apr '07

This may be down to factory being updated, but in case it's not... Builds on openSUSE_Factory are currently failing on both i586 and x86_64 with the following error: initializing rpm db... rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory mount: can't find / in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab /bin/bash: halt: command not found Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

[opensuse-buildservice] postbuild checks
by Wade Berrier 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, I'm noticing that the version of 'build' that is in the opensuse tools repository doesn't do the postbuild checks that the internal autobuild version does. Any reason for this? If we're eventually going to be submitting from the buildservice, I'd rather not have to build in autobuild just to make sure none of the checks fail.

[opensuse-buildservice] .changes
by Wade Berrier 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, Are there any tools, processes to handle .changes files in the build service? I had heard that eventually suse packages would submit through the buildservice instead of to autobuild. If this is the case, I'm wondering whether or not to use the .changes file in the buildservice.

[opensuse-buildservice] scheduler shouldn't buffer stdout/stderr (patch)
by Michal Marek 30 Mar '07

The other parts already do unbuffered output, just the scheduler's log file remains empty long after startup. Michal

[opensuse-buildservice] status update ..
by Adrian Schröter 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Hi, I applied a hot fix to all builders, the two bugs * Failing in setup the build enviroment with error not being able to access xen vbd * build succeeds but build service states a "failed" status should be solved by now. Please report if you see them in log files started after this mail. We do have some times hangups atm, nothing fails but the services stops to build packages. I hope this gets fixed on monday. I have to restart one server manually for now. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) 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
