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

Hi all, build.opensuse.org sends mail from noreply(a)opensuse.org This is an invalid address: ~> telnet mx2.opensuse.org 25 Trying 195.135.221.158... Connected to mx2.opensuse.org. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mx2.opensuse.org ESMTP Postfix (3.7.2) helo seife 250 mx2.opensuse.org mail from: seife(a)opensuse.org 250 2.1.0 Ok rcpt to: noreply(a)opensuse.org 550 5.7.1 <noreply(a)opensuse.org>: Recipient address rejected: This Email address is not monitored. Please contact admin(a)opensuse.org in case you need personal assistance. quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Connection closed by foreign host. ~> My mail provider only allows verified addresses (postfix option "reject_unverified_sender") so it would be useful to change this maybe to admin(a)opensuse.org?

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.

Cannot change email
by Fabrice Bauzac-Stehly 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

Hello, I need to change my email address on https://build.opensuse.org/ because my old email address will stop working. From the page https://build.opensuse.org/users/fbauzac there is still my old address at mykolab. When I click "Edit", I cannot update the field directly, though there is a link for "other changes": https://idp-portal.suse.com/univention/self-service/#page=profiledata When I try to follow the "Change E-Mail Address" link, it looks like it already knows my new email address because it is already filled in the fields. And indeed, when I hit "Save", it doesn't change anything on https://build.opensuse.org/users/fbauzac. What should I do? Can anybody help? Thanks! Best regards -- Fabrice Bauzac-Stehly PGP 01EEACF8244E9C14B551C5256ADA5F189BD322B6

build.opensuse.org slow
by Berthold Gunreben 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

Hi, I just wonder if it is normal, that I currently have extremly slow bandwith to build.o.o when trying to do a openSUSE:Factory:zSystems testbuild with type qemu. The Package that I am interested in is python-onnx, and it is now downloading for 58 Minutes without any end in sight. Yes, I see some progres at /tmp/osc_build* with data rates at about typical ISDN data rates, however this is not really workable. When pinging build.opensuse.org, I get a considerable number of package drops, and tracepath tells me, that half of the latencies are added from within the twelve99 network. My own network is connected with 100/40 MBit to the internet (downstream/upstream) and works as desired (actual rates is 106/42). Some more data: # mtr -r -c 50 -w build.opensuse.org Start: 2023-09-08T14:41:25+0200 HOST: build.host Loss% Snt Last Avg Best Wrst StDev 1.|-- fritz.box 2.0% 50 2.5 3.1 2.0 5.2 0.7 2.|-- 2003:0:8902:8000::1 0.0% 50 6.6 7.2 5.6 18.8 1.8 3.|-- 2003:0:1307:4000::1 98.0% 50 11.2 11.2 11.2 11.2 0.0 4.|-- ffm-b5-link.ip.twelve99.net 84.0% 50 12.4 11.1 9.9 12.4 0.8 5.|-- ffm-bb2-v6.ip.twelve99.net 0.0% 50 10.6 11.9 10.1 24.6 2.1 6.|-- ??? 100.0 50 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 7.|-- ceskatele-ic318142-prag-b4.ip.twelve99-cust.net 4.0% 50 19.3 18.5 17.1 22.7 1.1 8.|-- 2a07:1f40:2:7::1 32.0% 50 26.0 26.5 25.1 28.6 0.9 9.|-- 2a07:1f40:2:7::2 12.0% 50 26.2 26.1 24.7 30.2 1.0 10.|-- 2a07:de40:b260:1::5 10.0% 50 25.5 48.3 24.8 1030. 149.7 11.|-- 2a07:de40:b250:131:10:151:131:20 16.0% 50 24.9 24.8 23.6 26.5 0.7 The current data rate makes it quite hard to contribute to opensuse, therefore I would really appreciate if this was just an exception, and not a new normal...

only aarch64 packages build
by Mathias Radtke 28 Sep '23

Hi, three days ago I created a new subproject in preperation of a new release. This subproject has almost the same meta file as one of its siblings. However x86_64 packages are not build at all, only aarch64 builds are running. Is there currently any problem building x86_64 packages?

The scheduler program can only work using a single thread, which results in very slow calculations

Tackling spam on build.o.o
by Atri Bhattacharya 12 Sep '23

12 Sep '23

Hi, In response to growing numbers of spam accounts and comments (see mailing list threads, progress.o.o), perhaps it is time — for lack of a better solution at present — that some restrictions on new users be imposed. I suggest not allowing new users to comment unless they have a commit or before 30 days from creating their account, whichever comes earlier. The OBS is a packager's workspace after all and we should not have users creating accounts just to comment on others' work in the first place.¹ Best wishes, ¹ There are also some accounts that just go around posting comments saying 'update this or that', and for all intents and purposes those should be treated as spam as well. In my view, anyway. -- Atri Bhattacharya Sent from openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230910 on my laptop.

[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...

Can I add string_theory (string_theory-3.1.tar.gz) manually to the package and patch the build process?
