[opensuse-buildservice] expansion error
Hello, I tried the build service for the first time today, and I was quite amazed how handy and versatile it is! My package requires fxload, and this didn't pose any problems under OpenSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8, but for xUbuntu 7.10 I got the following error: expansion error nothing provides fxload What would be the resolution for this problem? Thanks!

It seems this package is not provided for Ubuntu ? Maybe under a different name, in that case we can map the name. However, it would be cool, if you can find out what is the status in Ubuntu of that package :) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

The problem is that fxload is in Universe and not the core 7.10 distro. http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/admin/fxload My adhoc solution to this for my builds has been to import the source from ubuntu universe into a subproject and link that to my ubuntu 7.10 repository. Perhaps the entire ubuntu universe can be added to OBS? I'm not sure of the overall size but it would be nice to be able to just target ubuntu 7.10 + universe when building packages with OBS.

The problem with that is, that universe is a moving target. We can never know, if the univerese of Ubuntu does still work together with our copy. And we do not have the power for daily syncs and rebuilds. So, I am very much in favour of adding a Ubuntu:*:Extra project for example where we can build and provide such needed extra tools like fxload. In this way, the user can get a working version and we can trigger rebuilds when we update it. (Maybe fxload is not a good example here, but think of any library what may miss). bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I was only thinking of having the ability to maybe have a binary mirror of universe... it didn't occur to me to actually rebuild it all every day :/ Not that I doubt that OBS could do it, but from the roasting of CPU for no gain angle. I have a Ubuntu7.10universe subproject myself because for whatever reason the Ubuntu guys list some parts of boost in universe (mainly the -dev packages so you can *Use* boost in the main distro but need universe if you want to compile against boost). eg; http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libdevel/libboost-graph-dev For those interested my ubuntu universe rebuilds are in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amonkeyiq% 3AUbuntu_7.10Universe I'd be happy to migrate these to an Ubuntu:7_10:Universe or whatever common repository. One upside of having such a common repo would be being able to include it in the web interface, so you can check "include common extras from universe" or something on your xUbuntu 7.10 repo in your OBS project.

I think stuff like boost and xercesc are quite annoying being in universe for easy builds of software for ubuntu using OBS. I'm not sure how you would admin such a repo/project. If you use the same interface and just add folks or maintain a request interface for folks to ask for packages and have them magically appear...

Would this be possible anytime soon, or should I create a sub project for fxload as suggested for the time being?
