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

CentOS 8 Stream builds unresolvable
by Martin Tůma 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Hi, For some time, CentOS 8 Stream builds are unresolvable because of the following error: unresolvable: nothing provides gcc = 8.5.0-18.el8 needed by gcc-c++, (got version 8.5.0-15.el8), nothing provides libgomp = 8.5.0-15.el8 needed by gcc, (got version 8.5.0-18.el8) Can someone please have a look at it? I doubt that it is a Centos problem and they have broken gcc packages in the distro for weeks... Thanks M.

[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.

Spam on the public buildservice instance
by Florian "sp1rit" 23 May '23

23 May '23

Hello, I've noticed that the user scottlawler[0] on the public instance has added a comment under one of my packages[1] promoting some sort of shitty mobile games website. Since there isn't any way of seeing all comments a user has made, I'm unable to see if this was a one-off or if the account has promoted his "serviced" under other packages too. Since there isn't any other way to report spam and other malicious behavior, I'm posting about it here. Regards, Florian "sp1rit" [0]:https://build.opensuse.org/users/scottlawler [1]:https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:Wayland/hyprland?notificatio… -- $\int_\text{now}^{+\infty}\text{Keep trying}$ Matrix: @sp1rit:tchncs.de <sp1rit(a)disroot.org> D248BF2F4C6A82A1E0569D897D8C1CD573166D09 <sp1rit(a)national.shitposting.agency> BBDE032EAAFBFC627FB7E635B1F4055D8460CE34

Safely convert an existing package into a Link / branched package?
by Johannes Kastl 23 May '23

23 May '23

Hi all, I think we had this topic before (2019, AFAICS), so maybe there is an update on this: How can I safely convert an existing package into a link / branch package? Without losing any changes on the "to be converted" package? Back then the only options were "osc branch -f" or manually creating the _link file. Is this still valid?

by Nicolas Formichella 18 May '23

18 May '23

Greetings, I have my home project[1], home project which has a GPG key that is near expiration (exp date: 2023-06-15) Will the renewal of the key be an automatic process where I don't have to do anything? If I need to do something, do I need to email the admin list for that? Regards, Nicolas FORMICHELLA [1]: https://build.opensuse.org/project/keys_and_certificates/home:stig124

Submitting new package to devel project and dependency question
by Michael Pujos 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi, I want to submit package A from my home project to devel project P. package A depends on package B that is only found in devel project Q. In my home project, B was simply a link to Q, allowing A to build. How does it work when submitting A to P, for A to find B when built in P ?

Show a diff for a whole project (aka all packages in that project) or only packages with a diff?
by Johannes Kastl 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hi all, can I find out which linked/branches packages in a project have differences to their origin/parent package? I know I can loop over all packages, enter the package folder, do a diff, go back, next package. But I was wondering if there is something only showing packages that have changes.
