[opensuse-buildservice] creating a "backup" of a project with "osc release" possible?
Hi all, First, what do I want to achieve? The VDR project (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/vdr) will get a version update to version 2.4 in the near future (hopefully ;-) In the past (when updating from 1.6.x to 2.0...) I created a vdr:legacy project where I just copied all sources before updating. I'd like to do something similar now, this time "vdr:2.2", but I'd rather not copy the sources over and build everything again. Instead I was wondering if nifty tricks with "osc release" could be used to achieve what I want. My idea was to temporarily set a release target for vdr (and vdr:plugins) to vdr:2.2, release everything and then remove the release target again. Will this work as I intend it to? Or will the binaries vanish once I remove the release target from the vdr repo? (I doubt it, but who knows ;-) Have fun, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

It will. We are doing that at Uyuni as (despite we are a rolling release project) we want to offer snapshots to our users, so they can test migrations, etc. So the only maintained and current version is at https://build.opensuse.org/ project/show/systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Stable, and the snapshots at https:// build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Snapshots:X.Y.Z. To achieve it, each time we release a new version, we have a script to change the release target to systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Snapshots:X.Y.Z (being X.Y.Z the version to be released), release, and then change the release target back to systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Stable and release again. So far we didn't not find any issues.
Have fun,
seife

Thanks for confirming my idea, I guessed that it might work, but it's always good to hear from someone who has already tried :-) Best regards, -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
