a miror question about / problem with the Release: number:
In the specfile, I have to set a release number: Release: 42 (If I don't, rpm complains and the build fails.)
Indeed, Release: is a mandatory spec file tag.
The build service edits this number when building the package and sets it to 1.42 then 2.42 then 3.42 etc. This makes the release number in the specfile quite useless because it's only on the second position.
Ummm... I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be done on the *second* field, not the first one. Adrian ?
The behaviour can also cause problems when someone imports a package to the build service. Say I have released a manually built foobar-1.0-42 package, then move to the build service and do some small changes without changing the version number. The build service will compile a foobar-1.0-1.42 package which looks "older" to RPM :-( Are there any plans to change the behaviour regarding the release number?
Either something is misconfigured or it's a bug, because from what I know, it is actually meant to be performed on the second part of the Release: (behind the dot). I would doubt it's a bug because quite a few builds have already been done with the Build Service. Maybe a regression that has been introduced today ? cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEoZyxr3NMWliFcXcRAo7pAJ4k48xjoOuNiUXij9+na4E1UQTdXACguyDh /8zZrl6KZGuCrnWZV3eRq6E= =5HPn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-help@opensuse.org
