Samuel, First, sorry for the top posting.. I hate it myself.. but the GroupWise 6.5 webinterface has no idea about text quoting.. and it would be more than difficult to find what I wrote as an answer. To your question: Blocked means, that one or more of the dependencies of tha package to be built is not ready on the BS (means: scheduled, building, broken, blocked) as you linked glibc inside, of course all others will be blocked, as glibc has always to be installed in the chrooted build environment. As long as you don't want to patch around the glibc and want to use the stock one, don't make so much work to link it. the BuildEnvironment will automatically be setup with a working environment. As long as you only have BuildRequires xxx, where xxx is part of the main distribution, and you don't want to change them with patches or anything, linking is not nescessary for you. I hope a few words of this are understandable to you.. it's already late :-) Best regards, Dominique

"Samuel Partida" <samuel.partida@gmail.com> 01/05/07 12:02 AM >>> First of all, hello to all the people at buildservice list.

I'm new at the Build Service so today I began to test building some packages via the web application. After some failures (I need to update myself on the art of rpm making) I'm experimenting with another build status, blocked. I don't know what I did wrong to get that status so what I did after that is to link some packages from openSuSE:factory: glibc man linux-kernel-headers And then I triggered the rebuild, now I have the last two packages blocked and glibc is scheduled, but I still don't know why they are blocked. I'm downloading openSuSE 10.2 DVD to make the build system locally but now the web service is the only thing I have to test, so I apologize if I'm making some big mistakes :( I hope someone can throw me some light (I'm still reading all the Build docs on the wiki). Thanks!
