[opensuse-buildservice] Problem with Requires(post) dependencies
by John Pye 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi all I am seeing some strange behaviour in the OpenSUSE Build Service with regard to post-install dependencies in RPM distros, specifically Fedora. My ASCEND package includes a 'Requires(post)' dependency on 'desktop-file-utils'. The ASCEND package builds fine, but when I use Build Service to build a package that *depends on* ASCEND (namely my package called freesteam), I see an error at the time when Build Service is installing ASCEND, which says "/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.98401: line 1: update-desktop-database: command not found". After that point, I seem to get further strange behaviour to do with my ASCEND package; I am not sure if it is a result of the above error, or another problem. But my package builds fine on my local machine with no such errors. Any thoughts? Cheers JP Current state of these packages is at: http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajdpipe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Building Ubuntu packages
by Joe Croft 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

Hi Yall, What would the define be if I want to test if I'm building an Ubuntu package? I've tried the following: %if %{defined ubuntu_version} BuildRequires: libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ libqt4-dev %endif and %if %{defined xubuntu_version} BuildRequires: libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ libqt4-dev %endif Neither of these worked. -joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Random thought (CLI suggestion)
by Andrew Beekhof 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

It occurred to me that a --populate-changelog option might be a useful addition to osc. Once commit messages are mandatory, I believe we would actually have enough information to implement this. It would also encourage better commit messages too! Would it be worth me putting together a patch to implement this? andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Minor WebGUI fix
by Dirk Stoecker 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, the attached patch unifies sorting at Build status monitor page (at least I hope so, was unable to get the webclient running locally). On the package display the right side with the build status also has unsorted architecture, see e.g. SLE_10 at http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=grass&project=home%3Adstoeck… but I was unable to fix it.

Hello, at http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=GMT&project=science the openSUSE 10.2 packages are blocked. Why? An error?

[opensuse-buildservice] _aggregate and web interface
by Dirk Stoecker 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hello, I tried to remove some build load from BuildService and implemented _aggregate instead of _link in some of the things I do. Really nice. Now a suggestion for the web interface: a) On the "New Package Link in Project xxx" page add a checkmark "No rebuild, file copy only (aggregate)" which produce _aggregate file instead of _link b) On the project page add also for aggregates: This package links to the sources of the package xxx of project xxx. c) On the project page mark the _aggregate file like the _link file is marked in the Files-section. Why? I think the feature is very helpful, but much too seldom used. Two main advantages I see: - Reduced buildservice load - Equal packages versions in the download area for equal packages (less user confusion). BTW: Is reducing the download space possible using softlinks for _aggregate?

[opensuse-buildservice] API Docs
by Cornelius Schumacher 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

When looking at the openSUSE API docs at https://api.opensuse.org/apidocs/ I was wondering, if they are up to date? There are some requests listed which don't seem to work anymore and for example the status request (https://api.opensuse.org/apidocs/#29) is missing a schema and the given XML example don't seem to match the results which are given by the current version of the Build Service. So what's the overall state of the API docs? -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum(a)suse.de> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Alternative BuildService (was: openSUSE build service - mldonkey removal)

Maybe one thing: A possibility to circumvent these problems would be a Novell independent BuildService. It could handle all these problems, which Novell cannot handle. If e.g. a Germany based non-profit organization would provide an equal framework as the Novell buildservice most of the problems would vanish (there would still be illegal/legal problems, but much less than for a worldwide operating company). Anyway to really work well a financial as well as legal support would be required (at least in the startup phase). Could you/we/your superiors start to really think about starting such an organization? Generally this would mean giving the Novell community a real voice. I really like the openSUSE buildservice as much as I dislike its limitations. What do the others here think about it? Ciao -- http://www.dstoecker.eu/ (PGP key available)

[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE:Tools/obs-server update - status
by Martin Mohring 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hi Adrian, thanks for providing an update for the OBS in openSUSE:Tools. Here is some hints what to do in order to get it working: 1. Rails update As James Oakley pointed out, you need to update "rails". There is already a build for this in the buildservice, in the OBS Project "ruby". For openSUSE 10.2, just add http://software.opensuse.org/download/ruby/openSUSE_10.2 to yast and install the rails and related updates. 2. Config files The config files: ./frontend/config/environments/development.rb ./webclient/config/environments/development.rb have been split up to "development.rb" + "development_base.rb". So edit now the corresponding: "development_base.rb" file to change e.g. if you whish to run the frontend or webclient on a different IP Adress. Also, in ./frontend/config/environments/development_base.rb the local run of RPM Server and Source Server is not default anymore, so you have to change this. 3. rake migrate When updating, dont forget "rake migrate" in: /srv/www/obs/frontend/ and /srv/www/obs/webclient/ 4. Installation of new osc update Adrian also suggested to update to osc 0.98, which I did. 5. obs_mirror_project When installing the new obs packages, there comes a new script obs_mirror_project to get the build targets like: "openSUSE:10.2" "openSUSE:Factory" etc. mirrored into the local OBS installation. It makes sure you have exactly the same *.rpm base as the original opensuse.org buildserver. I can only recommend this (if you have enough time and internet bandwidth). Buttom line: Thanks Adrian and Jamesfor the OBS update and hints, I got it working :-) Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org
