[opensuse-buildservice] bug in set_version service
by Jon Nelson 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I noticed a bug in the set_version service. If the destination file is a specfile, then the file gets overwritten /twice/ - once with the new version, and once with 'Release: 0' which throws out the first (version) change. Here is my recommended fix: if [ "${FILE%.spec}" != "$FILE" ]; then # set release back to zero after version upgrade, will be increased by OBS during build sed -e "s,^Release:.*,Release: 0," -e "s,^Version:.*,Version: $MYVERSION," "$FILE" > "$MYOUTDIR/$FILE" || exit 1 else sed -e "s,^Version:.*,Version: $MYVERSION," "$FILE" > "$MYOUTDIR/$FILE" || exit 1 fi I generally prefer to see '-e' used whenever possible. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Ubuntu 10.10 and our general approach for debian based chroots
by Stephan Kleine 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi, I just looked at the 10.10 chroot and it doesn't start because procps can't run "start procps" in its post install script because it can't connect to Upstart (obviously). The problem, and its apparent solution, is documented in their release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes - search for "Upstart jobs cannot be run in a chroot." Basically one just has to symlink /sbin/initctl to /bin/true but I have no idea how to inject custom commands into the chroot setup so I leave that to you. Also, regarding our general approach for creating debian based chroots: Why don't we simply use "debootstrap"? At least that is what the Ubuntu people wondered and, after giving it a try, I'm wondering too. It is a simple bash script (so the extracted debian package "just works" or it could easily get repackaged into a rpm) that takes the distro, architecture and wanted variant (minimal, with build tools, ...) as arguments and then automatically sets up a working chroot. So, how about we change the approach for debian based systems and simply use their debootstrap to create the initial chroot and then just install the dependencies of the to be build package afterwards? Besides being very easy to use and actually working (e.g. it already contains a fix / workaround for the change that is screwing us over with upstart on 10.10) it would also remove the "joy" to debug the stuff every few months when a new debian based thingy gets imported? Thoughts? regards, Stephan FWIW http://www.pastie.org/1245252 shows the output of creating a minbase chroot with debootstrap on 11.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] OBS 2.1: Status of SuperH (sh4) support with QEMU
by Martin Mohring 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hi, with QEMU User Mode improving, we can now catch a couple of embedded architectures with OBS. The newest one in the family being SH4: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/24/obs-2-1-status-of-superh-sh4-support… Also, I had fixed the virtual machine builds (KVM, XEN should also work) if mixed with QEMU User mode for all the archs. This means now: we can do ARM, MIPS 32, PowerPC 32 and finally SH4 with OBS inside an emulator Martin OBS Maintainer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] Workflow suggestions for working with nightly builds and full releases
by Matt Williams 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some suggestions from you guys about how to best handle a bunch of packages I'm maintaining. Basically I have a number of packages (the Falcon programming language, some extra modules and some tools). What I would like to do is have a OBS project (falcon:Unstable -- all under my home:Milliams personal project) where I build nightly versions of the packages, then I would also like to have a second project (home:Milliams:falcon) where I build only the officially released packages. Is there any way in which I can ease this cycle since on the whole, the spec files in the two projects will be almost identical. Can I perhaps maintain one as the main project and have the other one link against it with patches applied to change the version and the tarball? I will probably use the new 'source service' technique for the Unstable repo to fetch snapshots from Git and maybe for the release repo to to get the tarballs directly from the release website. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Matt Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] OBS breaks PNG files when build packages
by Алексей Харитон 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi folks, I have some kind of problem with PNG files in my package roundcubemail (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=roundcubemail&project=home:…) After building package, all PNG files are 1 byte shorter than before building. I found that changes PNG file headers (first 6 bytes of file), must be: 0x89PNG\r\n but stand: 0x89PNG\n How to fix this problem? -- Best regards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] tar_src documentation
by Troy Telford 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Is there any documentation (yet) about how to use the tar_scm service? Specifically, I'm wondering about how one would specify a particular tag/branch. With SVN, it's just in the URL, IIRC. But how do you specify the branch when pulling from a git repo?

[opensuse-buildservice] how to accept a previously rejected sr
by Peter Czanik 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hello, I got a submit request for syslog-ng ( https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/50852 )which I rejected as it enabled a feature which is still work in progress and found problematic by upstream. Now I see, that syslog-ng does not compile due glib's move to / from /usr. Is there any way to accept a previously rejected sr, or I should hand pick glib related fixes and resubmit?

[opensuse-buildservice] Software-Announcement
by Harald Vajkonny 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hello, I am new to this list and wonder if this is a good place to announce a new software project on sourceforge, so that it may become an openSuSE package? Best regards Harald -- "Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-buildservice] xz
by Nelson Marques 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hi all, I've noticed that some projects are already using .xz (ex: Fedora), based on the Lempel-Ziv-Markov algorithm. Do we support it on OBS or have any plans in doing it in the future?
