Hi all!

I have a modified version of obs (r5507) working with kiwi imaging inside obs. Today I updated to svn trunk. Now i see these errors:

- imaging (kiwi-image) expansion errors: nothing provides kiwi-filesystem:ext2 nothing provides kiwi-packagemanager:zypper

ok - what about a naming which makes this clear ? e.g. substitute-me-kiwi-filesystem ? So I should do Substitute: kiwi-filesystem:ext2 e2fsprogs ??

...

IIRC _no_ packages provide this dependencies and this is _not_ transparent for imaging of different distros. Whats the plan here ?

The current plan is that you need to define it as Substitute in your project config.

The reason behind this is to support it for the different distros, you can make different definitions for the base distros. And that without touching kiwi or OBS code. But i still need to have the kiwi stack build _inside_ that different distro. Right ? Let me make an example: I've created a mini-distro without zypper and kiwi. Before the move "inside" obs using the host's kiwi, it was no problem, as zypper an kiwi were provided. Now i've to build zypper and kiwi for the mini-distro to get it work.

If we'd make that independent it would also be easier to roll updates to kiwi for imaging, as kiwi has its own environment. This is especially true if we want to image non-x86 architectures with kiwi !

Could someone please also give some feedback on: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/CrossDevelopment/Preinclude

My error message on SLES10 is still: expansion error: nothing provides kiwi-packagemanager:smart

Any ideas? Ulf

Hi Ulf! You've to substitute these: look at osc meta prjconf openSUSE:Tools : %if "%_repository" == "images" Type: kiwi Repotype: none Patterntype: none %endif Prefer: openSUSE-release openSUSE-release-ftp Substitute: kiwi-filesystem:ext3 e2fsprogs procps psmisc reiserfs Substitute: kiwi-boot:netboot kiwi-desc-netboot kiwi-desc-xenboot ncurses-utils cromfs curl dhcpcd iputils nbd net-tools netcfg nfs-client parted grub mdadm Substitute: kiwi-packagemanager:zypper zypper Substitute: kiwi-packagemanager:smart smart Best, Jan-Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Hi Jan-Simon,

I used the conf file from openSUSE:Tools, still the same problem. To check the substitute I created a sample spec file with BuildRequires: kiwi-packagemanager:smart Started the build process on my local SLES10 OBS (1.6.0.6005S), the log file shows: < BuildRequires: kiwi-packagemanager:smart ---

...

BuildRequires: smart

The normal substitute for spec files work, but not for kiwi files, there seems to be a difference somewhere. Any idea how I can get closer to the problem?

You might have not your own project as repo source in the kiwi config ? Only the project configs from the projects you have listed inside are used. However, I will add these Substitutes to our base distro configs (at least for 11.1 and Factory) when I have really working settings. 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
