Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right m.l. so if not, please advice me where to send this question.

I am having some trouble with an image that we are creating in obs that has openSUSE:Factory as a repo. The problem happens when we try to, when booting the image on libvirtd, install a package that requires libsystemd-devel, because in the image we have version 232 (which comes from the obs repo), but in the public repo we have version 228, so zypper "complains" and "advices" to do a downgrade.

Are other people having this same kind of problem?

Is this somehow expected?

How long should it take for a package to be in the tumbleweed repo?

Should I build my image in a different way?

thanks

Other people shouldn't be having this problem, because openSUSE "Factory" should not be used by humans. The use of Factory as a viable consumable option for human beings ceased in November 2014 with the 'merger' of Factory and Tumbleweed Now, in general terms, Factory is a process through which we build, test and then declare new Tumbleweed snapshots In more practical terms, Factory is where you submit stuff in OBS before it comes out the otherside as Tumbleweed. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_development_model And in very OBS specific terms openSUSE:Factory "standard" is a project containing all of the packages currently accepted for Tumbleweed, even before they're tested openSUSE:Factory "snapshot" is a project containing all of the packages currently RELEASED as Tumbleweed - this is aliased as openSUSE:Tumbleweed The time to sync between 'standard' and 'snapshot' is the time it takes to test and fix any issues found in testing for a new snapshot - it can be surprisingly short, or very long..depends on what's going on You are currently building against Factory 'standard', as you can see here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/meta/Virtualization:containers:images:KVM... If you want to have an image that is always usable, you should build it against openSUSE:Factory 'snapshot' aka openSUSE:Tumbleweed Else, you will have issues like this, with you will have to find your own transient solutions for. AFAIK there is no common solution for this issue, the whole purpose of building against Factory 'standard' is for projects or people who WANT to build ahead of wherever Tumbleweed is today, in order to find issues 'ahead of the game' - in which case they are expected to have solutions for whatever issues they find being that far ahead of everything :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
