How to change my e-mail address for build.o.o
by Martin Winter 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

There are several threads asking this very same question. The latest I found was this one: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/buildservice@lists.opensuse.org/th…. However I still do not find an answer to that question. What I tried: - Going to my profile on build.o.o and edit my profile: The e-mail address is not editable. - Change the user meta via `osc meta user -e letsfindaway`: Does not change anything. - Login to Micro Focus and try to edit my profile there: The e-mail address is not editable. So what is the way to change the e-mail address listed on my profile in build.o.o and used to send e-mail notifications? Thanks for any insights and pointers! Martin

[opensuse-buildservice] Add external source to a package?
by Carsten Ziepke 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

Hello, I want to update the package ja2-stracciatella in the games repository to version 0.17.0. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Kieltux:branches:games/ja2-str… The new version needs the library string_theory which is not available for openSUSE. The build process wants to download string_theory from github, because it is not found. [ 36s] Scanning dependencies of target string_theory [ 36s] [ 12%] Creating directories for 'string_theory' [ 37s] [ 25%] Performing download step (download, verify and extract) for 'string_theory' [ 37s] -- Downloading... [ 37s] dst='/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/ja2-stracciatella-0.17.0/build/dependencies/lib-string_theory/builder/string_theory-prefix/src/3.1.tar.gz' [ 37s] timeout='none' [ 37s] -- Using src='https://github.com/zrax/string_theory/archive/3.1.tar.gz' [ 37s] -- Retrying... Can I add string_theory (string_theory-3.1.tar.gz) manually to the package and patch the build process? Thank you, Carsten -- Well, since MS cant be sure of the username of someone downloading things, they are going to play it safe and have everything dowloaded and executed by Explorer as suid root. That way, it will run on ANY system anywhere. :) -- George Bonser <grep(a)cris.com>

Oracle Instant Client
by David Nichols 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi, I got notices for deletion requests against the oracle-instantclient packages in two OBS projects. This is a binary package from Oracle - there is no source, but it may be freely distributed: https://www.oracle.com/cz/database/technologies/faq-instant-client.html This package has been listed as blacklisted in OpenSUSE since 2010: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist#Packag… However, in the meantime, Oracle changed their redistribution policy to allow free redistribution of this package in binary format. I was not involved in the discussions, but back in 2010 my colleague got the oracle-instantclient binary packages accepted into OBS; he told me at the time that an exception was made (IIRC - in any cases the packages have been there for a long time despite being on the blacklist). My question to anyone who can help - can this package get accepted into the NonFree project and removed from the blacklist? If not, I believe that forbidding the oracle-instantclient package from OBS and OpenSUSE will adversely impact professionals that work with Oracle DBs - particularly due to the domino effect on dependent packages. There is no legal reason for this restriction - just a philosophical one from my understanding. Example project (now with a deletion request): https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:davidnichols/oracle-instantcli… Thanks in advance for any feedback from anyone who has insight into this situation. thx David -- *David Nichols*Qore Technologies, s.r.o.

Why are my python builds failing in TW?
by Lee Duncan 19 Feb '23

19 Feb '23

I support several python packages in Tumbleweed (and SLES), and the TW builds seem to have started failing, looking for python311. I have the normal python setup for my packages (once of which is python-configshell-fb): > ... > %{?!python_module:%define python_module() python-%{**} python3-%{**}} > ... > BuildRequires: %{python_module pyparsing} > BuildRequires: %{python_module setuptools} > BuildRequires: %{python_module six} > BuildRequires: %{pythons} > BuildRequires: python-rpm-macros I haven't changed anything, but it appears out build environment is not working correctly. Any hints or suggestions? [I remember when Python was easy to use. Now it's like Java!] -- Lee Duncan

Strange PublishFilter setting in RedHat:UBI-9 project config
by Ville Savolainen 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

I had weird troubles to get packages published RHEL9 build. Packages built just fine and rpms were placed to build directory but those were never published to repository. After adding some debug code I noticed that all my packages were matched against this PublishFilter regex defined in RedHat:UBI-9 project config. PublishFilter: ^(?!venv-salt-minion).*\.rpm$ This matches like everything else than venv-salt-minion. I just removed that from my test instance and now publishing works fine. Regards, Ville

expected to add Support: PACKAGE_A:PACKGES_B
by 李成刚 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

hi,all        Contain one or more packages which also get installed for package builds, but a change in one of the packages does not trigger an automatic rebuild. This is useful for packages that most likely do not influence the build result, for example make or coreutils. The default package list for a build environment is: Preinstall + Required + Support + Packages from dependency expansion, use Support will install for all packages's build environment. Some packages that most likely do not influence the build result, at the same time they only be depended by a small number of packages. Should not be put into the default build environment. https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/13795
