[opensuse-buildservice] New project, and already a question about revision numbers
Hello, I just started using the build services. Great! Introduction: I'm providing a patched version of dcraw, a package named dcraw-omp, improving Dave Coffin's original by making use of OpenMP. Allthough the original openSUSE dcraw packages already makes it possible to use dcraw+OpenMP using my patches by editing the spec file, I needed that on a "regular bases" and as I complete replacement for dcraw. Because I'm the owner of an old 2x500MHz SMP box, and I am using a Canon 350D, waiting almost 40 seconds for an image wasn't really an option. Now the three tiny questions, because even after searching openSUSE and the mailing list archives I wasn't very happy with the found results: Q0: When checking in a few spec file chances I discovered, that the release and revision numbers are automatically incremented in the following way: 1.401-17.1 -> 1.401-18.1 -> 1.401-19.1. Where can I find any documentation about this behaviour, and how is the "Release:" field of the spec file interpreted? Or is it just beeing ignored? Q1: I can find two directories under repositories/home:/, one named "fietze" and one named "fietze:". The one with the colon just contains an incomplete trial using a branched and never finished KDE backports repository. The other one my dcraw-omp. Where can I find any documentation about the naming scheme of repository directory names? Q2: Where is defined when or how old revisions/releases are removed from the repositories? Thanks a lot.

This behaviour is expected, Release is automatically increased, and you really dont want to mess with it.

Old revisions of binary packages are expected to be deleted, the system does not have infinite resources ;-) -- “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” - Gandhi Cristian Rodríguez R.

The first part is increased with every change/commit to your package. The second part would increase if a rebuild is triggered by a new version of a build dependency. The Release field in the spec file can be taken as a minimum release number to use. (There is a way to fiddle with release numbering but I won't explain it now since the default scheme should be fine in most cases ;-))

A project containing subprojects always has a colon.

It seems that empty directories are not removed. Thank you for the help, it was very helpful. I read an old thread in this mailing list about fiddling with the number. Believe me, I won't try to do that after having read those mails.
