Hi there,

on FrOSCon I was talking to some openSUse guys about the possibility to use the obs as build system for the German Mandriva community. Now "playing arround" a bit brought several items to my attention.

On some places in the buildservice I found the Mandriva versions 2009.1 and 2010. Which 2010 release is this? 2010.0 or 2010.1? And why are there not both?

There is Mandriva:2010 and Mandriva:2010.1

The second thing I wonder is which branches of the Mandriva repos are included? All three? main, contrib and non-free? Or just main?

Just main. So far no one asked for more and the others may need more legal investigation, if we are allowed to import them.

Is there a way to include additional repos like plf? (Mandriva's equivalent of packman, I think, don't know that much about packman)

repos from outside of OBS ? This is not allowed on our build.o.o because it is intendended as open source hosting instance. (Also the DoD implementation is not complete)

And last but not least. After building a package Mandriva's "genhdlist2" should be run on the repo to create the files needed by Mandriva's package management.

okay, so we need a special repo type. Can you provide a package of this executable, which also builds for openSUSE/SLE-11 ? I will add the support for this then. thanks 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

Hi Oliver It was useful talking to you and Wolfgang this weekend. Another thing you should check is how well 'osc' from openSUSE:Tools works on Mandriva - we've discovered mispackagings of the toolchain on other distros before.

As a matter of fact, some people asked for more: - http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-02/msg00214.html - http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2010-04/msg00241.html

...and I'm pretty sure there have been some more over the last two years.

okay, I have briefly checked contrib and non-free and they contain stuff which is on our blacklist (due to license problems, patent problems and copyright issues).

So, sorry, I don't see a way here. And I don't want to spend too much time on checking each single package.

If there are some common needed packages it would maybe better to build them based on a common base. So they would also be available for SUSE, Fedora and friends.

Btw, this would also help to build the apps for all the distros, because a common base would exist. Something like LSB-extended ;) 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

Hi,

why Mandriva 2009.1 in x86_64 is missing the package bind-utils? Has anything changed in the base repository (it was building fine until recently)?

This happened by accident during recent server troubles and is already fixed: osc ls -b Mandriva:2009.1 -r standard -a x86_64 | grep bind-utils

Thanks, Antonio
