[opensuse-buildservice] need help with OBS feature request (xz compressed sources)
Hi, Regarding https://features.opensuse.org/312439 "spec files should support xz compressed sources per default" I'd like to have xz capable tar/xz packages per default available for old distros on OBS. (useforbuild only, not published). Who is the man who could do that? There are ready to use packages in home:rudi_m (compiled from original Base:System sources) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xz&project=home%3Arudi_m https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=tar&project=home%3Arudi_m cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

We will not exchange packages in the frozen distributions. We always only offer there the official released state by the manfactuar. It is fine of course when people do build against your repos because of that. bye adrian

Hm, in other words the feature above is not solvable by design. I think the tar.xz build source issue is really a special case - good enough to excuse an exception.
It is fine of course when people do build against your repos because of that.
Couldn't we create at least a more official repo "obs-must-have" which just contains the most annoying missing build requirements enabled for all the major OBS distros? I would even start maintaining that if you give me such top level project. BTW I've tried already to push portable tar/xz packages to Base:build to use this one for that case but they don't want it and moreover Base:build contains already much more than just "must-haves". cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

sources in tar.xz have been working for me for at least 1 year, the only thing requires is: BuildRequires: xz An example package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=compiz&project=GNOME%3AAyatana

I don't understand what you mean with old distro's (unsupported ? SLE stuff?)

Obviously your OBS use case is to build for recent openSUSE distro only.
An example package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=compiz&project=GNOME %3AAyatana
You are building for two xz capable distros only. If somebody wants to reuse your nice package for one of the most other distros then he needs to re-pack/duplicate your sources or clone tar and xz too. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
