OBS 2.7 Beta 1 Notes for using systemd ----------------------- OBS is using init scripts, not systemd style service files.

To avoid these problems you should use the init scripts directly to by-pass systemd:

$ cd /etc/init.d $ ./obssrcserver status|stop|start

That wins you nothing, because /etc/rc.status, as sourced by init scripts like these, sees that it is being invoked from a systemd environment and issues a redirect to systemctl. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

We are happy to announce the first preview release of the upcoming Open Build Service (OBS) version 2.7. Two highlights that you should check out are the download on demand support which makes it possible to include external software repositories

http://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/obs-reference-guide/cha.obs.concept...

and the new git work flows

http://openbuildservice.org/2016/04/08/new_git_in_27/

Known issues ------------ * SLE 11 builds are not fixed yet, we are working on it

WARNING: OBS 2.7 will be the last release supporting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 as base operating system for the server installation.

New features ------------ * Incremental storage of sources from upstream SCM systems * cpio archives are stored incremental and offered the to the build job as directory. * The default git handling has been changed to use obs_scm service which produces the right format. * Reworked download on demand support * supports changing repositories now * The Web UI has support to add remote repositories * Support tracking of github issues * Instantiate package api call for projects building service packs * Source services can be used during build time * they get executed before the packaging tool (eg. rpm-build) gets started * Support to use docker as virtualization engine * Support for simple image creation * New option to avoid usage of defined repositories when branching a package via the OBS:BranchSkipRepositories attribute * New hardware architectures are supported: k1om, aarch64_ilp32 * Many improvements in the maintenance support features * Groups can have an email address for notifications and contact * Improved scheduler speed * New waitservice and mergeservice commands to handle _service files * Allow non-obs urls in kiwi, map to obs urls if possible * collax package format support * Support virt-builder repository meta data

Incompatible Changes -------------------- * Repository meta data and packages are now signed with sha256 instead of sha1, if RSA is used. * Users are allowed to add themselves in their home project, even when they got removed. * Admins can set the user state to "locked" when they do want to block them. * request "addrevision" option is using unexpanded revision when "updatelink" option is used * package search for bug issues in attributes is done via own attribute_issue xpath attribute. the search api used to match source and attribute issues via same xpath attribute before * "download" elements have been moved to "repository" elements and got a new syntax in project xml.

Other small changes ------------------- * experimental deep_check_dependent_projects_on_macro_change option * bs_worker --vm-enable-console switch * experimental view=order mode for _builddepinfo * bs_serverstatus now works on ajax socket * allow to get buildinfo for remote projects * improved scheduling of inter-project dependent repositories * use sign time from old signature when re-signing * support view=versrel in _result query * experimental expandflags:preinstallexpand support * support "repotag" extension to set repository tags * support "singleexport" option to use/publish only the best version * support "simpleimage" build type * support switching the build type from kiwi to spec in followup builds * support triggerservicerun on _product * add --rebuild-full-tree option to bs_admin * implement view=cpioheaders for packages * allow an array ref for $BSConfig::notification_plugin

Unfortunately this makes projects using this feature unusable for OBS interconnect. I get the following error message: 2016-05-10 12:56:25: looking at low prio someproject/DebianJessie (0/0/0/0/5628) - someproject/DebianJessie: openSUSE.org:Debian:8: interconnect error: unknown element: download It would be really useful, if the interconnect feature would still work. Otherwise OBS instances not running on the latest Beta can not use repositories from build.opensuse.org any more and importing of distros must be done again. kind regards, Marcus Klein Release Manager Phone: +49 2761 75252 25 Fax: +49 2761 75252 30 Email: marcus.klein@open-xchange.com Skype: kleini776 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open-Xchange AG, Rollnerstr. 14, 90408 Nuremberg, District Court Nuremberg HRB 24738 Managing Board: Rafael Laguna de la Vera, Carsten Dirks, Uwe Reumuth Chairman of the Board: Richard Seibt European Office: Open-Xchange GmbH, Martinstr. 41, D-57462 Olpe, Germany, District Court Siegen, HRB 8718 Managing Directors: Frank Hoberg, Martin Kauss US Office: Open-Xchange.
