[opensuse-buildservice] openSUSE:Factory & 11.1 repos - meta data primary.xml
Hi, I wanted to try out openSUSE:Factory and openSUSE:11.1 in OBS with the new OBS 1.5 Download on Demand feature. So I am searching for the meta data in these repos, namely primary.xml. Where did they go? Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

We do not generate them atm, since createrepo needs more than 9GB memory to create it. Since this got not fixed, we did not enable the rpm-md generation since it causes significant load on our servers. (and it seems that there is no real request for rpm-md format anymore, people seem to stick with zypper/yast. Which is good because the rpm-md clients usually are unable to handle multi architecture repos in a save way.) bye adrian -- 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

We use primary.xml for Download on Demand. Do we sit on a dead horse? What else could we use instead for getting the meta data?

We handle multi arch repos with Download on Demand. Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

You should also support the susetags format, it's pretty easy to parse.

Which files in a SUSE repo file hierachy must we parse *instead* of rpmmd primary.xml? Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Yes susetags looks really simple. I'll have a look at the integration into "download on demand" in the next couple of days. Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

FWIW the build script parses that format via 'createyastdeps' already. Maybe the code for both features could be consolidated. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
