In the Build Service Web UI, it seems to me that there is often quite a lag between making changes to one of the files (eg a .spec file) and seeing the correctly updated status for the packages changing to 'building' or 'queued' or whatever.
patience is a virtue. the issue is not the webfrontend but the scheduler. it sometimes needs a few seconds to pickup your changes. so just wait.
Often I find myself hitting the 'trigger rebuild' button in this case, but I still don't see any update being shown.
this wont help you. as it will just cause another rebuild and you have to wait even longer before you get your built package.
It seems like this is a bug in the design of the Web UI -- is there anything can be done to improve this?
patience on the user side and a few speed ups in the scheduler.
On an only slightly related point, I wonder if some AJAX tricks could be implemented for turning on/off building for specific repositories? It's rather slow when one is attempting to track down build errors on a particular platform: the Web UI is a bit cumbersome when it comes to turning off all building for all but one repository, as it requires as many page-reloads as one has repositories for building.
for such stuff i would use "osc meta pkg -e project package" to edit the project xml directly. another nice osc command for tracking down build errors is: "osc build repos arch *.spec" than it will setup a build chroot on your local box and you can debug in the local chroot before sending the changes to the buildservice. patience is a virtue! darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
