 Is there a way to tell the OBS to set the release number of a package  to some arbitrary number (or to increase it by some number)?

For example, let's say foo version 1.0 and has been checked in 3 times and rebuilt twice. I think the package would then be foo-1.0-3.2.$arch.rpm.  Let's say I'd like to set the check in count to 5 (and reset the build count). Is there an easy way to do this without /actually/ checking in a number of dummy commits?

check in a spec that has Release: 5

According to the docs here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tips_and_Tricks#How_to_control... The release field in the spec file is ignored and replaced by ., where represents the check-in count and represents the build count. Is that not accurate? -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

it is correct. But if the release number in the spec file is higher than CI_CNT, CI_CNT will get increased to its value.

Sweet! Perhaps that ought to be added to the docs. Is that something I can do? -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

A question, then. I assume that the "check-in count" is stored somewhere. Let's say the value is 3 (and the 'Release' value in the specfile is 1). So then I make a change, and set the 'Release' value in the specfile to 10. Does that also change the 'check-in count' to 10, such that if I make yet another change to the specfile where I set it to, say, 5, that the 'check-in count' would then be 11?

Yep, that is the behaviour

I just tested this and, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but, it didn't work. I set the Release to 10 (in the specfile), and the newly-produced rpm had a release of 3.3. :-( -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
