[opensuse-buildservice] Requires(pre): problem
This evening I created a new package "nagios" in home:johnberanek:nagios3. This was an import of a package from EPEL6. As received from EPEL6 it builds happily on a CentOS 5 machine, but in OBS with RHEL5/CentOS5 build target it fails with "unresolvable: nothing provides user(nagios), group(nagios)". The package spec has: Requires: user(nagios) Requires(pre): user(nagios) Requires: group(nagios) Requires(pre): group(nagios) Provides: user(nagios) Provides: group(nagios) On the advice of darix/coolo I solved the problem with a bootstrap procedure of commenting out the Requires(pre) lines, and this allows the build to complete. At this point I should be possible to put the Requires(pre) lines back. However, that bootstrap hack is hardly obvious/"nice" behaviour for OBS. ;) Right, that's all for now.

Can you explain why you need to state that your package needs itself ? What else should OBS do in this case ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

the obs should use the provides in the same spec file to fullfil the requires, because thats what rpm does aswell. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Probably. But we currently don't parse the provides... (The prereqs are actually only used as buildrequires to make the post-build installcheck work. We only do that for suse, so maybe we should not add them for all distros...)
