I did set up a local build service now successfully and in general, building packages works fine.

Now I tried to build the first java package which results into the following log:

[...]

Is that only a local problem here in my installation or doesn't that work at all?

The problem is, that the package want's to have the sun license accepted. A workaround:

--------------------------------------[...]--------------------------------- cat <<EOF >> /var/cache/debconf/config.dat Name: shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 Template: shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 Value: true Owners: sun-java5-bin, sun-java5-jre Flags: seen

Can that somehow be applied to the build systems install process?

I did that now in doing these changes: buildservice:/usr/lib/obs/server # diff -u ./build/init_buildsystem.orig ./build/init_buildsystem --- ./build/init_buildsystem.orig 2007-11-18 12:17:05.000000000 +0100 +++ ./build/init_buildsystem 2007-11-18 12:22:16.000000000 +0100 @@ -344,6 +344,26 @@ mkdir -p $BUILD_ROOT/etc || cleanup_and_exit 1 mkdir -p $BUILD_ROOT/proc || cleanup_and_exit 1 test -f $BUILD_ROOT/etc/HOSTNAME || hostname -f > $BUILD_ROOT/etc/HOSTNAME + mkdir -p $BUILD_ROOT/var/cache/debconf || cleanup_and_exit 1 + cat <<EOF >> $BUILD_ROOT/var/cache/debconf/config.dat +Name: shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 +Template: shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 +Value: true +Owners: sun-java5-bin, sun-java5-jre +Flags: seen + +Name: shared/error-sun-dlj-v1-1 +Template: shared/error-sun-dlj-v1-1 +Value: +Owners: sun-java5-bin, sun-java5-jre +Flags: seen + +Name: shared/present-sun-dlj-v1-1 +Template: shared/present-sun-dlj-v1-1 +Value: +Owners: sun-java5-bin, sun-java5-jre +Flags: seen +EOF if test $PSUF = deb ; then mkdir -p $BUILD_ROOT/var/lib/dpkg mkdir -p $BUILD_ROOT/var/log I'd suggest to add a possibility to add some one buildsystem initialization scripts. If there's already such a mechanism, I would be glad to know it... :-) -- With best regards, Carsten Hoeger
