Usually Yes, it may take till monday heh ;P
I don't get it. Are you saying that the perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder build is really taking several hours to build, or are you saying the perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder build is broken and waiting for a human to fix it?
Not this package alone, but the complete distro below was in boot strap. Starting to build new glibc/gcc/binutils and stuff. This has to be finished first, before perl modules can get build. You can simply go to the other project in the web interface of the build service and look what the state of the project is, actually.
In either case, I don't think my module (and lots of others) should be held up...
My module has an outstanding change from me that I'm waiting on to build. The OBS should go ahead and rebuild my module using the prior version of perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder. Then when perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder finishes, it can do another rebuild if it wants to.
We speak here about packages for openSUSE Factory and not building for any frozen distro like openSUSE 10.3, Fedora or alike, right ? Well, that would mean that your package would build lots of times, again each time when any package below is changing. This would made hundreds of rebuilds instead of one. We do not have the build power to do this with all packages. Please keep in mind that the OBS is anyway a batch system, means it can have thousands of build jobs waiting, but only able to process a few (hundred) jobs at once. If you want to build anything _NOW_ it is recommended to do a local build. You can do so easily via the "osc build" command. It is anyway recommended to prepare a new package via that, because you do not have to wait to resetup the build enviroment for each try (and yes, you can build for Fedora on SUSE for example).
In other words, I think the behavior should be:
* Don't trigger my build until *successful completion* of a new version of perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder. * If the current version of perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder is broken, my build should use the previous (successfully built) version.
this is the current situation, if I understand you right. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
