Seems not to be possible, or builders are not interested in it. Down the list, i asked Greg-KH what i should use, as some of the packaged i use (from the OBS) are only build for the regular 11_x, SLE_y or factory, but _not_ for openSUSE_Tumbleweed.

what I understood is that tumbleweed is only a factory variant, with software flagged as stable by the packager, but Im far from understanding all.

so may be it's enought to build for factory?

No, you should be able to build against 11.4 (which is Tumbleweed based on currently) and use those packages. Also the enhanced repository add dialog should have Tumbleweed for selection, it is probably just not in the shortcut selection list.

It is not a "Factory variant", but a "more up to date stable" variant.

No, that will not work. Or it might, but you will be linking against the wrong libraries so bad things could happen later.

Yes, it is in the enhanced selection if you want to build against it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You can always build against any repository in OBS. We just have not added it to the "simple list" yet, because it is still in develpoment phase IMHO.

It is? It looks out of "development phase" to me. What would have to happen to make it move out of that for you to feel comfortable with it?

Well, no one asked me yet to add it to the simple default list, so it must be still in development ;) But I suppose you just did that, so I add it to the default list now ... -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I don't think you want to build against tumbleweed. Isn't tumbleweed a repo where I am supposed to be able to "pick" new versions from for 11.4?

No.

If so building against tumbleweed would cause excessive dependencies to be pulled from it.

I don't understand what this means, how could this happen? Tumbleweed is "just" openSUSE:11.4 with updated packages that are in Factory pulled into it to make it easier for users to stay up-to-date with newer stable packages. For example, the kernel in Tumbleweed right now is at 2.6.38, while it will remain at 2.6.37 in the openSUSE:11.4 repo for forever.

If I want program FOO in a new version I add tumbleweed as repo to my 11.4 and do zypper install FOO. If FOO is built against tumbleweed then might link agains LIBBAR which is of a new version in tumbleweed. This will cause LIBBAR to be updated for me, eventually breaking binaries that were built against LIBBAR in 11.4.

So you never update libraries in Tumbleweed? Or if you update a library in Tumbleweed you make sure to also re-build all users of that library in Tumbleweed? Thanks, Richard. -- Richard Guenther Novell / SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nuernberg - AG Nuernberg - HRB 16746 - GF: Markus Rex

That's great, but that means I need to import the links to those packages into Tumbleweed first, right? And if I do that, I thought that obs would rebuild them as needed if the library changed. In other words, I thought this was they way it "always" happened and that I didn't need to set anything special like "localdep".

I had assumed zypper / rpm would refuse to pull a library update that broke a dependency? (Or at least the user would get the dependency conflict choices.) Or that the old library would be left in place in parallel.

You can always build against any repository in OBS. We just have not added it to the "simple list" yet, because it is still in develpoment phase IMHO.

You can either use the advanced interface when adding a repo or edit your project meta directly either via webui or via commandline:

osc meta prj -e $YOUR_PROJECT

add something like this for adding tumbleweed:

<repository name="openSUSE_Tumbleweed"> <path project="openSUSE:Tumbleweed" repository="standard"/> <arch>i586</arch> <arch>x86_64</arch> </repository>

Why? Why wouldn't those have their packages in the tumbleweed repo so that they don't need the build target in their repo? Why? If i understood one of your previous messages correctly, if you switch your base-system towards tumbleweed, you should not have your addons set to 11.4 or factory....

As always, if there are packages anyone wants to see in Tumbleweed, please let me know.

As long as tumbleweed has no own perl version, I see no need - 11.4 packages will work fine.

11.2 will reach EOL soon. There are 399 source packages in the update channel of which 158 are referenced by a security update. The total number of sources packages in 11.2 is 3527+15 = 3542. So only 4.5% of the packages required a security update during the life time of 11.2. I didn't count how many of them were fixed by upgrading to the next minor version from upstream.
