[opensuse-buildservice] I suspect that my chromium package build is going wrong

This is the package I'm trying to build https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:evantonsuse/chromium Build process worked for almost 10 hours, the last message I saw in the build log was the one related to the linking of the chromium binary I think (that's when I've got out of memory error when trying to build locally, so that's the reason why I've tried to build using the build service). After that the timestamps in the build log suddenly started over and judging by the content of the log, the build process started from the beginning again. I've got no package. The build is shown as still going. Could somebody have a look and tell me what's going on, please? Thanks. PS: I am trying to rebuild chromium because of a few reasons: - the official 32bit chromedriver binary for linux doesn't work on debian wheezy because it's compiled against a newer version of glibc - there's a chromium debian package, but there's no package for chromedriver - source code of chromedriver is part of chromium source code tree At this moment it looks like the build process is running for the third time already. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

PS: I am trying to rebuild chromium because of a few reasons:
- the official 32bit chromedriver binary for linux doesn't work on debian wheezy because it's compiled against a newer version of glibc - there's a chromium debian package, but there's no package for chromedriver - source code of chromedriver is part of chromium source code tree

It likely ran out of memory or diskspace. Why you do not base your package on our chromium package? openSUSE:Factory chromium or network:chromium chromium Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

I am totally new to this and since I've got lucky to get the build process going quickly, I have "cheated" and skipped the "dive deeper into the docs" part. So I don't know how would I do this and if there are any benefits of doing it. First glance tells me (and please correct me if I'm making a wrong assumption) that openSUSE:Factory is a project that builds packages for OpenSUSE and network:chromium is a project for building Linux binaries that are distribution agnostic. My project is making use of the vanilla source code chromium tarball + Debian patches and is trying to build a package for the 32bit Debian Wheezy - same version of chromium as the one in the repository, the only difference between it and the chromium package from the Debian repository being that I'm trying to also compile chromedriver and bundle it into the package. Should I be concerned about the perpetuum mobile I've accidentally started? Since I'm not getting the final debian package it looks like my project is just eating up free resources for nothing. What should I do next? Just cancel the build manually? 2013/10/1 Marcus Meissner <meissner@suse.de>:

Currently network:chromium builds indeed the chromium package for openSUSE distro's, but it doesn't any SUSE specific patches, etc to the source tarball.

If I understood you correctly, then the only thing you want is to build the chromedriver ? If that is correct, then why do you build the full chromium build ? Building chromium will not give you the chromedriver as that this need to be explicitly indicated and build separately. The outcome of the chromedriver build is a single executable which could be packaged separately (same as happens on openSUSE). You can then decide whether or not to install that particular package.

Term time. :) What network:chromium does is build packages for "multiple distributions and versions", but it certainly is not "distribution-agnostic". Getting d-a involves extra work and is not interesting for FLOS projects, because they can just build it again and do not need the agnosticity. noarch subpackage is one step towards d-a... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
