by Adrian Schröter 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

We are happy to announce the Beta 1 of the openSUSE Build Service Version 1.5 release ! The major features of this release are: ======================================= * Product Building Support: This is biggest part and allows us to create all products, including openSUSE 11.1 and later SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 products with the openSUSE Build Service. It allows also easy Addon Product creation or customized live medias. Documentation for this is currently written and will be available later. Files which are used to describe and build products can be found already in the "_product" packages in the openSUSE:Factory and openSUSE:11.1 projects. This functionality is intended to be used for re-spin your own builds of openSUSE ! * First Official Cross Architecture Build Support: This is currently in experimental state. The support for this was provided by 5e Datasoft and is also used for productive development by them. http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/CrossDevelopment * A larger number of smaller features and bug fixes, including but not limited to: - Download permission handling - Automatic download of binary packages - scheduler speed up implementations - build reason logging Download Resources: =================== Packages can get found as usually in the Build Service of opensuse.org itself: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/ Source tar balls are published at the forge side: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Downloads/opensuse/1.5 Open Issues: ============ * image building using osc is not correct working yet We want to release a final 1.5 release still this year and are in good hope to be able to do so. Special thanks go to following people for their contributions to this release: * Marcus Hüwe * Martin Mohring * James Oakley the creation of the PyQt client (yabsc) * Long Hong for the creation of the Eclipse Build Service plugin In general, this mail is also Beta.

by Klaas Freitag 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hi, before we went to our last night x-mas party we had a nice little meeting where we discussed how we want to store user related data (such as name, jabberid, package list etc.) in all parts of our infrastructure. This is a draft of the notes I took: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/User_Data Please read and comment.

by Richard Bos 05 Dec '08

Hi, What happened to horde, has it been removed from the distribution? It used to be present in openSUSE_11.0 and before, see e.g. this query: http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.0&p=1&q=horde But, in current openSUSE_Factory I don't find it anymore: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=openSUSE%3AFactory Has it been removed from the repository and base distribution? -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE 10.2 dropped from BS
by Dominique Leuenberger 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hi, It seems all the openSUSE 10.2 repositories were dropped from the BuildService. Whereas I know that the support ceased 5 days ago, I think it's rather harsh to just drop it from the BS as well such short-termed. Additionally: was there an announcement that the repos from BS will be dropped as well? stopping 'support' for an OS is not equal to stopping 'users and devs from building packages for it'. I'm absolutely in favor of not keeping 10.2 in forever... also the early drop is not an issue... but I think communication was (or I missed it on the normal channels, this being the announce and/or buildservice mailinglist for me).

[opensuse-buildservice] Upgrading OBS 1.0 to 1.5
by Dominique Leuenberger 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hi everybody, I have an OBS 1.0 installed and I've seen the 1.5 is available (yay.. thanks). >From the 'past' I remember that upgrading was not always a straight forwrd thing to do. What considerations should I take when upgrading from 1.0 to 1.5? Or does the system detect that an upgrade took place (versioned databases for example) and upgrade as needed? Thanks for all the information. I'm looking forward to installing it :) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Using keyring for storing passwords
by Michal Čihař 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Hi all as I really don't like idea of storing clear text passwords, I hacked support for GNOME Keyring in osc (see attached patch). If keyring is available, login credentials are stored and read from keyring and it stores them in a secure way. Is there a chance to get such change merged? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[opensuse-buildservice] project dependencies
by Susanne Oberhauser 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi folks, I was just bitten again by project dependencies: openSUSE:Tools depends on ruby to get more current packages than what we had on sle10. I don't want to copy in the packages fromt heruby project and I don't want to sourcelink them. I instead want the ruby project to 'know' that there are other projects depending on it, so they get a message if they try to disable the sle10 project repo. And what I actually want is to design and document a best practice how projetcs should interact in the software integration process, how project releases are done, so you can rely on another project without copying or linking it's base packages in.

[opensuse-buildservice] using own macros
by Werner Flamme 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

Hi, I'm new to the build service and I still try to convince obs to cooperate with me :-) - now I have a question about macros. As a local user, I have a .rpmmacros file (including as a simple sample "%packager Werner Flamme <werner.flamme(a)ufz.de>"). In message <20081111184033.GB7174(a)suse.de> I read that macros have to be defined in the project configuration file. Is this the file that is managed via "osc meta prj -e"? If not, how do I modify the project configuration file? Is it stored locally after an "osc co"? Maybe this info is hidden somewhere in the Build Service web pages. However, I did not find it, sorry.
