[openFATE 305945] get rid of "symsets" in kernel package dependencies
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Feature added by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Feature #305945, revision 1, last change by Title: get rid of "symsets" in kernel package dependencies openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Marek (michal-m) Description: Currently, the kernel rpm packages group the exported kernel and module symbols in find-provides and provide these "symsets". It has been done this way to reduce the amount of data the solver has to process. It has a number of problems though: * Moving modules around or adding symbols changes the symset checksums, so the rpm build needs symsets of the previous kernel(s) to provide both old and new checksums * changing or removing one unused or unimportant symbol means that each kmp that uses any other symbol from the same symset needs to be rebuilt Now that we have a much better solver, it's time to get rid of this and provide just the individual symbols. I created a test project in the build service: home:michal-m:kill-symsets. which rebuilds all 11.1 kmps against a normal kernel and against a kernel with symsets turned off (this kernel is built in home:michal-m:kill-symsets:changes). The size difference is rather low, total size of all the rpms on i586 and x86_64 increased by about 1.3M, installed size decreased by 2.6M (because of the removed /boot/symsets* files). Size of yum metadata increased by 1.4M. What needs to be done is to make sure that the solver can really handle this fine (-> Michael). I'm waiting for the test repos to appear on download.o.o. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305945

[New: openFATE 308835] performance: no-ABI-change flag
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308835, revision 1 Title: performance: no-ABI-change flag Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When submitting a package, for which we know there has been no ABI change - eg. we changed only a manual page, or where we wrote the patch ourselves and are certain - it should be possible to 'osc commit' with a flag set; such that this package will be re-built, but no dependent packages will be triggered. This is particularly key for things like glibc / hal and lower stack things, that have ABIs that ~never change incompatibly - yet lots of things depend on. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This would substantially accelerate repository builds, and increase the time for which they are stable. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308835

Feature added by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #306781, revision 1 Title: osc sr should warn if changes are not commited Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Description: osc submitrequest should warn and wait for confirmation, if the local changes were not submitted to buildserver yet. This would help to avoid the problem, that old packages without changes got submitted to the project. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306781

[openFATE 307836] Show the difference in size of dependencies at the end of the build
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Feature added by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #307836, revision 1 Title: Show the difference in size of dependencies at the end of the build Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Description: OBS could calculate the size of Required and BuildRequired packages at the end of the build. These values could be compared to previous ones so packager would see if any massive depependencies has been introduced and may consider a subpackage split. Example: Requires: bar, *dzindzik, foo - size: 30 MiB (+ 28 MiB) BuildRequires: bar-devel, *dzindzik-devel, foo-devel - size: 124 MiB (+ 7 MiB) (* in front of the package stands for newly added dependency) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307836
