gamescope is broken: "_scmsync.obsinfo file must not be part of the git repository. "

I just received a notification from the OBS that a package (gamescope[1]) I intended to help maintain has broken. It refuses to build with the following message: broken: ERROR:root:ERROR: The _scmsync.obsinfo file must not be part of the git repository. I am not really sure what changed here, because the last revision was over a month ago and build without issue. This package is developed at /pool using git even long before we started the whole migration. I am maintainer on the OBS but I don't actually have write access to the /pool repository because absolutely nobody maintaining this can figure out how the SCM link works.

Hi, This one is using the older workflow, where the devel project is just a reference to Factory package.. or so it should. There appears to be an issue here where the pool/gamescope branch is not matching the commit. https://src.opensuse.org/pool/gamescope/src/branch/factory should be pointing at https://src.opensuse.org/pool/gamescope/commit/c5492f4f5514be91238443f6288cf... I don't think this is something for you to fix at this point. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. - Adam

This has been restored. there are probably more that are broken, will do a scan and try to fix them all. Greetings, Dirk
