Hi again!

It seems like I have at least one mistake in my debian build instructions, I get the following error on debian builds: "parsechangelog/debian: error: Can't call method "as_string" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Changelog.pm line 250, <STDIN> line 11."

This is my directory: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:tol_qosmotec/helloWorld

You only have one debian control file. It takes at least 2. This is the example project Marc-Antoine posted:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:MarcAntoineArnaud/avt-test

Note the debian.* files.

Nevertheless the next step would be to use open build service locally.

Via osc? Or to setup your own private instance of OBS.

What I don’t understand: I only found information how to do the build process locally, but it seems that I still need to upload my files to the openSuse Servers. Is that correct? Or is it possible to work fully offline without communicating with any servers?

With your own instance of OBS you definitely don't need to upload the sources. I think a lot of people that run their own OBS instance link the core repositories with the reference instance (build.opensuse.org). Linking the core repositories simplifies admin on your side.

With osc there is the --offline option, but I have never used it in total isolation from build.opensuse.org. ie. I've only used when OBS was unavailable for some reason.

Thank you again for your help so far, tol

Good luck Greg

You can't work fully offline because repo information every osc build is updated. Of course there is --offline mode but the first has to be online. However you can upload nothing to OBS.

For clarity you can at a minimum:

osc mkpac Place tarball, spec file, etc. In local package folder osc add * osc build

Then copy the rpms out of the chroot jail they are built in and publish them however you plan to do that.

The only negative I see is if you ever run "osc commit" it will push your source code out to a public site, so if the source is something you keep highly secure that might be too big a risk.

There may also be ways you can can build directly without osc. I've never directly invoked build.
