[opensuse-buildservice] accurate list of supported distributions?
I just submitted https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/2569 to try to encourage the keybase folks to work with us to package keybase properly for openSUSE, and while I was at it, I thought it would be worth trying to persuade them to use OBS to package for multiple distributions. This raised the question - which distributions can OBS currently build for? I was slightly disappointed to find this question unanswered by http://openbuildservice.org/about/ even though it refers to "21 base distributions on 6 architectures". Some further googling led to: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_supported_build_targets which lists 5 *families* of distributions (or a few more, if you count openSUSE/SLE and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS as different families), spanning 25 different release versions. It also says: The OBS api also provides a list of available distributions: https://api.opensuse.org/distributions but this URL yields a 404, despite it being documented as a valid API call: https://build.opensuse.org/apidocs/#8 So the inevitable follow-on questions are: - What is a "base distribution"? - Which of these two claims about the number of supported distributions is accurate? If neither, then what's the truth? - Why is this API call returning a 404?

Thanks! Hi Talk to the api with osc....
osc distributions shows; http://paste.opensuse.org/73934183 You would need to query with osc repos <project> to see the build arch available. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE Leap 42.1|GNOME 3.16.2|4.1.31-30-default up 4 days 14:44, 5 users, load average: 0.23, 0.23, 0.18 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 @ 2.90GHz | GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Try `osc api https://api.opensuse.org/distributions' or visit <https://api.opensuse.org/distributions.xml>. API calls are not to be confused with WebUI Urls. The API calls are distinguished by the use of the `Content-Type: application/xml' header.

it's all just HTTP though, and this behavior is non-conforming. A request without any Accept header field implies that the user agent will accept any media type in response. If the header field is present in a request and none of the available representations for the response have a media type that is listed as acceptable, the origin server can either honor the header field by sending a 406 (Not Acceptable) response or disregard the header field by treating the response as if it is not subject to content negotiation. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.3.2 -- roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
