No, that's right. We need to change the web interface to allow multiple uploads and a commit afterwards. Work in progress...

It surely behaves that way uploading via web interface. Thanks to buildservice irc (darix?) I no longer upload files that way.

It would also be useful for newbies like me to cancel the builds half way if we realize we've made a mistake or is scheduled for a very long time.

It's not easy to cancel running builds (scheduled ones are no problem, though). I'll try to come up with something. Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);}

Yep. I always try to commit source, patches and spec in one go with osc but I invariable forget something or other and have to do a second commit, then wait for the first build to fail :-(

you can also test your build before via "osc build" on your local system. So there is no reason why you need to wait for the server. (exception is that BuildRequires: changs needs to commited atm, will be fixed after the API change). bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de

Excuse me if I sound rude, but, I, personally, can't see the need of the build server if I had to build locally first. :)

Maybe you have no x86_64 machine at home? Maybe you don't want to rebuild factory every time some library changes? Maybe you don't want to rebuild kernel modules every time an update kernel is released? There are several reasons. :) Regards, Bernhard -- Die Arbeit ist ein Segen, der wie ein Fluch aussieht. -- Paul Auster

No harm intended.

netmask... of course you can do the "upload -> wait -> fail" loop on the build server. but building at least _once_ locally sounds smart to me. so you at least know that the package, you are about to submit, passed at least on one distro/arch combination. noone asked you to build for all targets before.

if that is too much for you ... and you still dont see the benefit of the buildservice ... i dont know what to say.

Please, folks, we don't care about how the users of the build service work. I don't mind uploading without testing. This is a policy issue, i.e. multiple users working on one project might decide that the uploaded packages have to compile. But it is a local decision, not something we have to enforce globally.

I use the build service so I don't need to have all the necessary packages to compile locally. It's just a matter of option, but sure your way sounds much more polite for people that build lots of packages. ;) -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net <> Maceio/AL/BR % http://mteixeira.webset.net <> http://pmping.sf.net

either (a) override the first one or (b) be dropped until the first one is finished. I vote for (a), since people make mistakes and it's very probable that the second request is the right one.

I guess that way we would spare some building time on the service.

I have had this problem before also. Definitely option A is the correct one.

use "osc" and not the webfrontend. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org
