[opensuse-factory] OBS supports constraints now
by Adrian Schröter 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

After updating build.opensuse.org to current OBS code we have now support for build job constraints now. This means you can tell OBS to build a certain package, repository or project to build only on build hosts which grant a certain hardware or software feature. Just to name two examples, you can require a certain amount of memory or storage space. Or you can build on a special kind of build host which guarantees you that benchmark result can be compared between the build jobs. Please note that you limit your package to be dispatched to a subset of hosts. So it may dispatched way later or in worst case not at all when we do not have such a build host. This means it stays in "scheduled" state. We do _NOT_ have a "dispatchstatus" yet which would tell if a job is dispatchable at all or not. Please find details about this feature in our book chapter: http://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/obs-reference-guide/cha.obs.build_… Just as an example, you may want to require a VM memory size of 2GB. You need add a "_constraints" file into your package source with this syntax: <constraints> <hardware> <memory unit=G>2</memory> </hardware> </constraints> Or you want to run on a specific new host, which we have to have comparable benchmarks. There is only running one build job on this hardware and it will always have the same hardware configuration. You need to use the hostlabel "benchmark" in our build.opensuse.org instance: <constraints> <hostlabel>benchmark</hostlabel> </constraints> -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Status: Distribution
by Stephan Kulow 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, This week we have Milestone1 scheduled and I'm really trying everything to stabilize factory to a point of being able to release it. The biggest problem we see at the moment is udev moving to /usr (in the arms of systemd) causing all kind of problems. Additionally we broke the sysvinit compat, but this should be repaired already, but it caused some hickups. Before I close my laptop today, you will know if we release M1 or not, if it's not on the horizon today, there is no point to continue this week. I thought > 7 days after the conference would be enough to get it going, but I didn't take into account how tired we would be :) The good news is that we have way more helping hands than in the late past, so I'm still confident. Give us some more hours :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] The KDE Desktop is looking for maintainers (or not.....)
by Raymond Wooninck 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear List mates, Some time ago it was announced that each devel project should have a number of maintainers that are doing the work and supporting each other. I would like to raise the issue that the KDE repositories (KDF and KR49) are currently being maintained by a lower number of people than was indicated. In other words, lately most of the packaging work and supporting KDF/KR49 was done just by me. Looking forward than I won't be able to spend that much time anymore on supporting KDE within openSUSE and therefore I would like to call for volunteers that would like to support the KDE desktop within openSUSE and doing the packaging, bugfixing, etc. The future of the KDE desktop within openSUSE depends on your support and it would be ashame to see the KDE desktop disappearing due to lack of maintainership. In my heart I know that the KDE community within openSUSE is big and definitely capable of keeping the KDE desktop alive. If you do not feel experienced enough to take this task upon you, then be asured that there are experienced people willing to help and guide you. Let's make KDE the best desktop within openSUSE Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] boost 1.52.0
by Alin Marin Elena 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Dear All, I am trying to update the boost library to 1.52.0 branched it here https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Aealin%3Abranches%3Ad… There are two issues I need help with... 1. the generation of the docs fails. I deactivate it the lib builds fine... and I updated the spec to add the new libs added... I have already removed the patches which are applied upstream and made sure the remaining ones apply... 2. shall we ship python3? fedora already does it...but they use a different approach to build boost...

[opensuse-factory] What is Network repository and can i do without it for Tumbleweed?
by Trent Hawkins 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

This is going to sound like a noob question but... I am in the process of switching over to Tumbleweed from openSUSE12.2 base. Somewhere along the line i gathered a bunch of repos which i don't know if i actually need anymore. This includes: Network12.2 - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network/openSUSE_12.2/ I googled search a bit for what exactly it was, but couldn't unearth anything. Does anyone know what its for? The only package i have installed from it (what i can tell using YAST) is one called "cyrus-sasl-devel" - v2.1.25-55.1. Looks to be a newer version than the one in Current Oss. Also i have KDE Extra repo enabled because of Dropbox. Is this going to create a conflict with Tumbleweed when i zypper dup? Is Dropbox in Factory (therefore can make it into Tumbleweed)?

[opensuse-factory] sparsehash is looking for a new home
by Mariusz Fik 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi, I just updated clementine package to 1.1.0. One of the new feature is integration with Google Drive - but to get this working, sparsehash package is required. I prepared it as well in my branch[1]. I want to push this package to Factory to get it included in 12.3 but first we need a new home (aka devel project) for sparsehash. Which project should be the most accurate? I think devel:libraries:c_c++ looks fine. Any opinions? [1]- https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=sparsehash&project=home%3AF… -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member GPG: 5FCE 7241 B3B9 32FD 455B C30E 42D6 6C88 9E83 7C3D

Hi all, I saw a line in openSUSE:Factory: systemd-mini.spec and systemd.spec I don't understand. %if 0%{?bootstrap} Requires: this-is-only-for-build-envs %else Because of this line ARM Factory JeOS images aren't build any more due to: nothing provides this-is-only-for-build-envs needed by systemd-mini Is this Requirement in the spec file for a specific reason?

It would be much better to raise those points directly on upstream mailing list, since they are not openSUSE specific (and I don't know how they are handled by other distributions either). -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat(a)suse.com> SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
