[opensuse-buildservice] rpmlint and "Packager"
by Dirk Stöcker 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, whether I add "Packager" in a spec file or not, rpmlint complains in both cases. One time because of hardcoding. The other time because it is missing. Could this please be fixed? What I would like to see is that the buildservice-email-address also used in the GPG key of the repository is automatically copied into the spec (like e.g. changelog or revision). Is this possible (thought that would not fix the hardcoding error message) or can the name+email be added in the build command directly?

[opensuse-buildservice] Problems with files added by remote URI
by Michael Behrisch 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hello, I tried to compile the fox1.4 package for ubuntu and wanted to add the sources directly from the debian server http://packages.debian.org/etch/libfox1.4 Unfortunately when adding the files by URL to my obs package (like http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fox1.4/fox1.4_1.4.34.orig.tar.gz) something went wrong, because the build process fails: dpkg-source: error: file fox1.4_1.4.34.orig.tar.gz has md5sum 724e66b89b5451d5032165e03ff5228d instead of expected 3424b9d3f9b71e1f53e9c3822de3b76c I checked this by downloading the file once from the debian site and once from the obs and they have different checksums indeed. The sizes are the same thus it is probably not a matter of automatic gz extraction. The diff.gz of the same package has the same problem, that's why I think there might be something wrong with the remote upload. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known workaround besides down-/uploading?

[opensuse-buildservice] History of _link'ed projects?
by Lars Marowsky-Bree 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi, I wanted to generate the changes of project which links to another. But iterate through the history with osc -r fails; it generates only the diff. -e doesn't work in combination with -r. It seems the link is not generated against a specific version of the source project, and so that information is not archived, and osc doesn't know which version of the source project to retrieve. That strikes me as rather bad, because it means bi-secting for _link projects essentially doesn't work at all right now. Would it not be acceptable if osc -r -e expanded the link against the version of the source project which was current at that time? (After all, that's what it would have build against.) Of course, this would miss rebuilds/changes which were triggered because of changes in the source project, as there's no combined history. Any idea how to solve this?

What filenames would you like to use in this case, what should be stated in the .dsc then? Lets do that on an example multiplatform .deb and .spec based package. The source file is called hallo.tar.bz2. The .spec files references then hallo.tar.bz2, this is easy. On the other hand, the .dsc file references then hallo.tar.gz, a file that does not exist, only to circumvent some dpkg-source consistency checks which are there for a good reason? This is not a good solution, because not transparent. Why not fulfil the Debian/Ubuntu and the Fedora/... whatever packaging requirements? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Colons considered harmful: escaping LD_LIBRARY_PATH in OBS projects
by Brandon Philips 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello All- The problem can be illustrated by trying this out: osc co openSUSE:Factory attr cd openSUSE:Factory/attr quilt setup attr.spec cd attr-2.4.39/ ./configure make strace getfattr/getfattr / Here is a snip from that strace: open("/home/philips/projects/openSUSE/x86_64/libattr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/philips/projects/openSUSE/x86_64", 0x7ffffec11540) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/philips/projects/openSUSE/libattr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/philips/projects/openSUSE", 0x7ffffec11540) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("Factory/attr/attr-2.4.39/libattr/.libs/tls/x86_64/libattr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("Factory/attr/attr-2.4.39/libattr/.libs/tls/libattr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("Factory/attr/attr-2.4.39/libattr/.libs/x86_64/libattr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Not ideal! The process is trying to load obviously non-existent libraries. This is because libtool creates a wrapper for getfattr so it will be executed using local libraries built in the source tree instead of the system libraries: # Add our own library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/philips/projects/openSUSE:Factory/attr/attr-2.4.39/libattr/.libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" But it is breaking because LD_LIBRARY_PATH uses colon characters as a separator like PATH... I talked to the libtool maintainer about this and he said: On 07:37 Thu 18 Dec 2008, Ralf Wildenhues wrote: > > I have found that libtool generates temporary wrappers with improperly > > escaped LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Ralf's first point is correct. ld doesn't accept \: as a literal colon like PATH does. So, we will need to fix this first. _ OR _ Instead of taking on the pain of fixing ld and all of the tools and scripts to generate and understand slash escaped colon characters we could stop using colon as a separator in build service project names. Upstream maintainers are not going to be excited about fixing the colon character problem up because the build service is probably the only thing using it. So, can we please use another separator? Perhaps the dash "-". This character is well accepted and works across http/dns/sh/etc without escaping or special consideration. Doing nothing about this isn't an option. Many packages use this trick to test programs as they sit in the source tree without doing a `make install`. If we do nothing developers who are new to OBS and unaware of the issue will waste time, as I did, trying to figure out why their library fixes aren't working. Thoughts? Thanks, Brandon P.S.

[opensuse-buildservice] osc and security
by Joop Boonen 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I've checked out ~/.oscrc I saw that my password can be found in plain text. As someone who would be able to read this file would be able to change packages that I have created. I'm rather worried about it. The package could easily be piggy backed with mall ware. I'm wondering wouldn't it be possible to put an encrypted password? Or even better to work with ssh keys? An other option would be that the password wouldn't be saved. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Status latency in build.opensuse.org
by Lars Marowsky-Bree 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hi, what's the reason for the latency in status displays on b.o.o? When I enable building for a previously disabled arch, it took several minutes to update the status from "disabled" to building/blocked. I understand that this is partly due to the scheduler re-run needed, but because that time is not known or exposed, one looks through all the expert settings to figure out what one has done wrong, or if there isn't a flag one overlooked. Sometimes the same happens between "finished" to "succeeded", or when the build has finished when the buid log seems to switch from "live" to "archived", there's a gap there the build has finished (possibly failed) but the log then still shows the outdated one - which build fine or aborted with a different error. It's a usability nightmare. Can't we at least - if the latencies can't be reduced for some reason - immediately wipe the outdated state? I'd rather see a "Please wait" message until the next scheduler run instead of wrong information.

[opensuse-buildservice] [PATCH] commit message template
by Michal Vyskocil 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hi, the attached patch changes the behavior of 'osc commit' command. I'm not very happy when I have three places where the changes should be documented: - .changes - %changelog in .spec - osc commit messages The modified commit command read a differences from 1.) .changes, or 2.) %changelog part of .spec and fill it to the commit message, so you don't need type it again. Only one problem is - you need change the commit message anyway, because osc check the difference between commit message template and a result, but this should be easily fixed (use a checksum without commit message template). What do you think about this approach? Regards Michal Vyskocil

[opensuse-buildservice] osc-plugins-gnome in openSUSE:Tools
by Vincent Untz 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hi, I've submitted a request to have osc-plugins-gnome in openSUSE:Tools (request #5249). This is a package containing various plugins developed by the GNOME team, but they can be useful to other people. Ideally, I'd like the package to be maintained in openSUSE:Tools instead of some home:$someone project. I'll try to find time to push the most interesting features in osc itself, but not everything makes sense there either. Good to have plugins :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org
