[opensuse-buildservice] OBS development status report
by Adrian Schröter 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

present: mls, froh, jcborn, freitag, adrian, poeml * Merge request mechanism * OBS packages * Notifications * Signatur * Speed issues General Status: =============== poeml: - new osc release with some new features, including --no-verify to workaround problems with signing. mls: - backend hardware is slow again - signature support enabled, with some problems - planned work on scheduler to prefer projects with events to report status faster. - speed problems might be caused by SAN, need to dig into jcborn: - working on unpack meta packages installation media creation is estimated to be read in march - preparing on fair talks about KIWI imaging adrian: - handled RHEL and CentOS - cared about hardware issues - need to take care about LSB target - fixed some stuff to build openSUSE:Factory more successfull. - started discussion about building also Factory:NonFree rlihm / abauer: - found and fixed bug with drag & drop in IE :) - will post a screenshot Speed issues: ============= We discussed the speed issues we experience these days and esp. last week. The build order seems to be fine, but the timelag of updating the status by the scheduler needs improvements. Possibilities which were discussed are * Implementing a dirty flags system, to invalidate the status of a package/project immediatly. The disadvantage of this is that it only affects the project where the change happened * Another thinkable solution to reduce the build load would be to define a prefered build target. Which should be build first, so a user can see if the changes can work in general. * Scheduler should prefer events over its standard queue. This means it will calculate the project where either a source change or build result appeared handle first. This is planned to be implemented this week. Merge request: mls will provide storage and interface in backend before vacation in two days. Specification seems to be complete, osc client implementation can start. OBS packages: We will provide urgent bugfixes for stable packages via 0.5 branch + packages. Additionally we will create nightly builds in seperated openSUSE:Tools:Snapshot project. Notifications: Klaas has implemented a perl module to send notifications for the backend sent to a db. A digest notification to collect multiple events is possible as well. Currently the backend the defines how to send out notifications. Later on this should become user configurable. Additional possibility to send notifications also via http interface. This will come to svn these days and a wiki page will be created. Currently missing: - user interaction missing - integration into backend code missing - currently limited to mail notifications Signature issues: Open question how to handle imported packages from other projects via aggregates. aggregate packages cause currently a problem, because they provide currently a different signature. Therefore we will need to resign the packages on import. Alternative solution, with double signing of packages may create new problems with non-zypp installers. -- 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

[opensuse-buildservice] How to change package download URL from https://api.opensuse.org/... to somethig else?
by Christopher Lang 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi, my local build server is building quite nicely now, even Ubuntu/deb packages. There is one thing that I wasn't able to find in the wiki: How can I change the download URL for built packages? A download URL on my local server for a test package looks like: https://api.opensuse.org/rpm/somePackage%3AFactory/xUbuntu_7.04/somePackage… It should be something like: http://127.0.42.2/.... A small hint where to change that in the configuration files is much appreciated! many thanks cheers Chris http://www.acurana.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Import new GPG keys in smart
by Bernhard Walle 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello, Everybody who uses the smart package manager may have been recognised that the new GPG build keys are not on keyservers, so the installation fails. I wrote a script that fetches all GPG keys of all repositories that are currently in the smart configuration and imports them into rpm: http://www.bwalle.de/programme/scripts/smart_fetch_keys_buildservice I thought it may also be useful for other people ...

I'd rather prefer the additional (aggregated) key to be distributed via this project (aggregating the package). Does the package management support several keys in one repo?

[opensuse-buildservice] Standalone tool for creating pattern files
by Pascal Bleser 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there a standalone tool for creating .pat files ? Editing/creating those from scratch is a major pain because of its syntax. The OBS can create them from XML markup [1], which is certainly simple enough to be written with any text editor. Would it be possible to extract it into a command-line tool (that would transform such XML markup into the .pat files) ?

Re: [opensuse-buildservice] One common community repository inBuildService?
by Susanne Oberhauser 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Henne Vogelsang <hvogel(a)opensuse.org> writes: > Im sorry but you are (still) designing the OBS for packagemanagers > instead of people :) Nice polemics. I agree the package manager has some potential to catch up a bit, but I also agree with Adrian that using agregates for this kind of stuff is a crutch until the package manager really supports recursively adding in base repos. I think a 'common repository' is just a way to implement something different: As a user, I want to rely on reccomendations, I want to have one place that I go to and that I use to do the base install and to then look for packages to add or update as I need them. This can be implemented by flattening out such a selection (aggregate) but it could also be implemented by a 'search path', a search DAG, actually, and the package manager does the flattening dynamically. To the user it doesn't make a difference, but to the web service provider it means significant savings in storage and bandwidth. I was always under the impression that the package manager heads towards this dynamic capability or am I mistaken?

[opensuse-buildservice] internal server error with obs-server
by Olaf Hering 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

I followed the steps from README.SETUP found in obs-server-0.5-3.1.src.rpm on a fresh 10.3 default kde install. But the docu is either wrong or outdated. The example described in section 6.1 leads to an internal server error. lighthttpd does not log anything, so its not clear whats wrong. # osc -A http://127.0.42.2 meta prj openSUSE:Tools -e <project name="openSUSE:Tools"> <title>Short title of NewProject</title> <description>This project aims at providing some foo and bar.

[opensuse-buildservice] Where is texlive in Factory gone?
by Detlef Steuer 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi all, one of my projects home:dsteuer/R-base has problems to build in Factory for some time now. For i586 I get ~/OBS/home:dsteuer/R-base> osc build openSUSE_Factory i586 R-base-2.6.1.spec Getting buildinfo from server buildinfo is borken... it says: expansion error: nothing provides texlive-bin-latex, nothing provides texlive-bin, nothing provides texlive-bin-xetex but I can see the packages i.e. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/texlive-bin-2007-109.i586.rpm so it seems to be in Factory? What is going on there? What am I doing wrong? Or will it just go away after stabilizing Factory? (Btw. for all other releases including 10.3 the sources build just fine) detlef --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org
