[opensuse-factory] Update frequency of the openSUSE:Factory snapshot repo

by Raymond Wooninck

In the past the snapshot repo was created (AFAIK) to reduce the number of rebuilds triggered by changes in the Factory/standard repo. However this is no longer the case. The snapshot repo seems to be updated as soon as that the Factory/standard repo is being published and this causes an big number of rebuilds. Of course this is the way that things should work, but I wonder if it is really necessary to have the snapshot repo updated at least once a day (if not twice a day). This is causing that repo's that are building against it to be triggered for a full rebuild again and bigger repo's will just keep on building and building, without ever really coming to the point to be published. My question now is if we can lower the frequency of updating the snapshot repo (and give somewhat more peace to OBS) or is there a way to setup a repository to ignore those snapshot updates ?

[opensuse-factory] update to cmake 2.8.5 in tumbleweed?

by Jason Newton

Hi, opensuse 11.4 is getting to be a few cmake versions behind (2.8.3) and my workarounds are growing for modules that have fixes upstream. How about updating what's in, at least, tumbleweed? I'd be glad if it got put into 11.4 updates but tumbleweed is a great start. I found a build laying around in the tools:building repository but yet another repository is undesirable, especially since I maintain alot of build machines at my workplace. Thoughts? Yay / Nay? -Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Factory on ARM is alive!

by Dirk Müller

Hi, This week, a group of Hack week participants have sat together and bootstrapped openSUSE Factory for ARM, namely for armv5tel (soft floating point with thumbs) and for armv7hl (hard floating point with aapcs-linux ABI). This seems to be the common cross-distro standard, the recent Fedora15 porting activities also targetted armv7hl. The status is at the moment: - We have at the moment over 1700 packages succeeded. A test on real hardware shows that the packages are running fine. Many more packages should come over the next few hours, as low-level dependencies are finally building and now will enable the build of the rest of the distro. - We have one hard issue: gcc 4.6 seems to miscompile on armv5tel something that causes the rpm database to corrupt very quickly, which means that no packages can build in a regular chroot, which sets up the rpm database but corrupts it, so the rpmbuild then fails. As a workaround, we're building armv5tel with gcc 4.4, which works fine. Thiis is not a permanent solution yet, we need to find the actual problem. - We have a few failures in packages. Looking at them, most of them are caused by threading issues (e.g. failing testsuites), because building under usermode qemu does not have a good thread emulation, and it often fails or simply crashes. This seems to be a hard issue, we can only solve that by building either in system qemu (which seems to be too slow to use) or by building with real hardware. We currently plan to use real hardware. At the moment, problematic parts can be disabled with a %if !%qemu_user_space_build ... %endif section. Everyone is invited to take a look at the failures and help fixing them. building packages locally is easy, if you have "qemu" installed. we recommend to use the qemu from openSUSE:Tools:Unstable, as it has a couple of fixes we noticed that we need for proper building. These fixes are hopefully soon in the factory version. We document status + common problems + how to particpate here: http://en.opensuse.org/How_To_Work_On_openSUSE_ARM_Distribution Please join! Thanks, Adrian, Alexander, Dirk and Reinhard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Growing some openSUSE ARMs

by Andrew Wafaa

Sorry for the cross posting, but I thought it worth the extra noise ;-) One of the things that came out of the recent Geeko Love-In for me was a new project to immerse myself in within openSUSE. Yeah I know, we have enough existing projects already so why create a new one? Simples! Believe it or not but openSUSE is behind the curve in a specific segment, and that segment has yet to explode to its full potential. That segment is ARM. No I'm not talking about your upper body appendages, but the architecture that powers most of your little devices (and some bigger ones too). Almost all smartphones, tablets and many other consumer devices are powered by ARM from one of the numerous licensees. Didn't openSUSE do something about this a while ago? Yes we did. Unfortunately the effort seems to have bitrotted somewhat, there were numerous reasons and I don't even prophesise to know the all either. As such I'm going to try and kickstart things, and see it through and hopefully see it grow. As I mentioned, this idea came up at the conference when I was talking to numerous people (I forget how it all started, but that doesn't really matter). There was an overwhelmingly positive view on the matter, and that for me was all that counts. Now let me be crystal clear here, *THIS WILL NOT BE A ONE MAN SHOW!!* I mentioned previously that my view is that we as a community are pretty lazy at times with getting our hands dirty. As such if you think things are going slow or not going in the direction you would like, don't moan. Get your hands dirty and help make a difference. The process will not be an easy one either, so don't expect a port to magically appear over night. If we're lucky we might be able to have a working port in 6 months. Maybe longer, maybe shorter; ultimately that lies with us as a community. Stage one has begun already thanks to Adrian Schroeter, Alex Graf and Dirk Mueller. Stage one comprises of getting the boot strap process to work. At a cursory level this means getting the packages required for setting up a build chroot environment and for building these packages on the target ARM architecture. This will possibly take a fair amount of time, and no I won't give any timelines for this - how long is a piece of string? openSUSE has a couple of advantages here, 1) we have the OBS which can cross build and if need be cross compile packages for numerous architectures (ARM included) so we are going to make a start with that; 2) SUSE are going to be doing another HackWeek (I think it is next week) which means Adrian, Alex, Dirk and anyone else that has knowledge, experience or interest can join in the fun and pain almost full time for a week - let's not kid ourselves here there is a high probability for lots of pain, but also fun ;-) Thing is HackWeek is not just for SUSE staff, it is also for the community. You can join in and spend some quality time on the project with those that know a whole heap of stuff, and learn from them and maybe even teach them something too. We are going to be targeting ARMv7 nothing older I'm afraid this means CORTEX-A8 and above (looking at A9 primarily and then the new A15 when it's available), it gets too messy otherwise and it is already messy enough.If you have knowledge and experience, please help out. If you don't take part you have no justification to complain - you've got to be in it to win it ;-) So I'm basically just giving you all a heads up on this effort, and will update you as regularly as possible (I'm hoping to do something weekly maybe). In the meantime, if you're interested join #opensuse-arm on Freenode and the opensuse-arm mailing list. *DO NOT HARRASS* for updates, if there is something to say it will be said. If you've got a question, ask and *WAIT* for an answer. If you want to help out but want to know how ask and *WAIT* for an answer. I will try and get something on the wiki soon, with a todo list etc. Thanks and here's to getting our Geeko some ARMs. Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GCC ICE on armv7hl

[opensuse-factory] on branding

by Alin Marin Elena

The new branding is in the factory and looks cool... great work! Now the things I found up to now 1. kdm login screen and kspashx on my desktop 1920x1080 seem to use different resolution backgrounds. the geeko changes slightly the position from kdm to ksplash. this may be tough to fix, iirc ksplash is picky about what resolutions it takes... kdm is not. 2. the susegreeter still has the old branding... and it seems the new branding was not commited in git. 3. the sysinfo uses the old branding. this is the offending file... /usr/share/kde4/apps/sysinfo/about/images/background.png I did not manage to see where is taken from ye. Moreover... when in full-screen the background does not expand all over the window width. see picture. http://paste.opensuse.org/23951090 4. for factory versions... should we use for kde kickoff as start the factory geeko instead of the green one? moving to the green one once in rc or gm state?

[opensuse-factory] VirtualBox Guest Additions

by Steven Sroka

In case any packager is interested about VBox Guest Additions, I just read this off of the vbox-dev mailing list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Felix and all, As an update to our discussion about how to reconcile distribution versions of the Additions with Oracle's, I have taken care of both of the points below. Any future 4.1 releases will have a modified version notifier on non-Oracle builds which advise the user that if their distribution/distributor no longer provides current versions of the Additions they should remove the distribution version and install ours. Distributors should feel free to customise the message. And we have also fixed the only problem we could find which would cause problems when 4.1 Additions were used with a 4.0 host - the Guest Execution functionality was not working in this case. The 3D ABI is compatible between 4.0 and 4.1, and we will try our best not to keep it compatible in future. So as of any future 4.1 or later releases it will be safe for distributions to supply the most recent version of the Additions for use with any host version as of 4.0. (Just in case there is any doubt, we will only be testing this for Linux guests, although chances are good that it will apply for other guests too.) Regards, Michael On 08/31/2011 11:17 AM, Michael Thayer wrote: I have let this go through my head a bit and come to the conclusion that two things might be helpful here. One would be if we (VirtualBox upstream) could make the Additions officially compatible with (some) previous releases of VirtualBox. With a big question mark over 3D support (which I am less familiar with) I don't think that it would be a major problem for 4.1 Additions to also support VirtualBox 4.0 and possibly 3.2 in an optimal way, though I will have to take a look at that. The other thing would be making use of the version notifier which is built into the Additions and warns if they are older than the VirtualBox version they are running on. The message could be changed slightly in a distribution-specific way, to tell the user how to update the distribution packages, and how to uninstall the packages so that they can install our Additions if the right update is not available. -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: ANNOUNCE: I call it a beta

by Stephan Kulow

FYI, I just sent this to the project list - in case you're not reading it regularly. Please post your answers/ideas there. Greetings, Stephan ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Betreff: ANNOUNCE: I call it a beta Datum: Donnerstag, 29. September 2011, 22:22:53 Von: Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)suse.de> An: opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org Hi, We had a short go/no-go meeting on #opensuse-factory and decided that the fuser problem may be the cause of all evil and now that it's gone, we can go forward and release beta1. We even managed to get most of the artwork updated in the days slippage. If you come around it, I will upload build315 to the mirrors tomorrow morning. When to announce publically I leave to the marketing guys, I'll be mainly off the internet till tuesday as monday is public holiday for me and I'm told publishing news on friday is bad - but I'll make sure the ISOs are available for interested testers. I hope that's ok for the team. Now the interesting question is what about the RC1. We didn't really loose time in development as we checked in almost everything that came in during the time we waited for the fixes - this includes e.g. kernel 3.1rc7. But we can't hold the schedule as it is - the original deadline for RC1 checkins is october 7th - that's around 4 days after public announcment of the beta and even before the pizza party. With the new factory work flow we have some more flexibility in terms of checkin deadlines, so let's make use of that. My proposal would be: Move RC1 from October 13th to 21st for release date - checkin deadline would be 18th. Move RC2 from October 27th to November 3th - checkin deadline would be October 28th (November 1st and the monday in front are blackout in Nuremberg and we rely too much on Nuremberg to move the date where it's perfect ;( ) Move Final release from November 11th (who set that date anyway? :) to November 16th. GM would be on 11th. Note, that I don't want to move the final date too much and if we all agree to some discipline, RC2 will already be perfect and we only apply some polishing up to GM. I know that shuffles our usual weekdays for release a bit and I'm pretty sure I made some mistakes in my proposal, so please feel free to give ideas of yours.
