How do I access the latest package released for openSUSE:Tumbleweed instead of openSUSE:Factory?
by Manfred Hollstein 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Hi there, we currently have a problem in Packman, which links some packages from openSUSE:Factory and then builds them with some macro to enable features which are not allowed in OBS. This has happened for ffmpeg-6 which is at version 6.1.1, but the last official snapshot of Tumbleweed only has 6.0.1. I know that the next snapshot 20240116 will have an updated ffmpeg-6, but right now all users of packages from Packman see this issue "Tumbleweed zypper dup has weird error": <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/…> It could be avoided if we could link packages from openSUSE:Tumbleweed instead of openSUSE:Factory, but I haven't found a solution for that. Does anybody know if this is possible? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred

Difference between "--buildjobs" and "--jobs"?
by Obs Geeko 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Hello, May I ask what is the difference between these two parameters: "--buildjobs" and "--jobs"? ----------------------------------------------------------- "https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-build/blob/44e43abe9da522c1c6685742aecc55be…" --buildjobs number build in parallel with 'number' jobs "https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-build/blob/44e43abe9da522c1c6685742aecc55be…" --jobs N Use N parallel processes during build. Sets %jobs and %_smp_mflags macros and defines the number of CPUs to use for VMs. ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. "--buildjobs number" for how many pbuild job at the same time, and "--jobs N" mean in each of these pbuild job, how many CPUs setting for VM? 2. In "chroot" build environment, what "--jobs N" means? Thank you.

Push only selected repositories to mirrors?
by Till Dörges 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Hello all, we're running a private OBS instance (version 2.10) and I'm looking for an easy solution to push only *selected* repositories to another server. I found $stageserver in BSConfig.pm, but IIUC this will publish *all* repositories? Thanks and regards -- Till -- Dipl.-Inform.

How build services make life easier for upstream developers
by Peter Czanik 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Hi, I just published a blog about OBS (and Copr), why they are fantastic resources, from an upstream developer point of view: https://www.syslog-ng.com/community/b/blog/posts/how-build-services-make-li… I wonder what other projects took similar routes, and became official package maintainers from simple OBS users.

Private builds for RHEL8
by obs＠dibo.sk 25 Dec '23

25 Dec '23

Hello We have private OBS instance completely disconnected from internet. We are using repository from RHEL satellite as DOD repo. But with RHEL8/9 I'm not able to build anything as there are multiple versions of same package in appstrem which causes conflicts with baeseos packages. Can anybody help me to duplicate what you are doing on public OBS repo to avoid this? Any hints are highly appreciated. Regards Dibo ⁣Get BlueMail for Android
