Hi Johannes, some of the macros come from obs-build itself, see: https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-build/tree/master/configs Hope that helps, Dan Johannes Kastl writes:

Hi all,

during cleanup I noticed that building rubygems for SLES12 in breaks with the following error:

[ 23s] + exec rpmbuild -ba --define '_srcdefattr (-,root,root)' --nosignature --define '_build_create_debug 1' /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/rubygem-net-ssh-5_0.spec [ 23s] error: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely caused by recursive macro declaration. [ 23s] error: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely caused by recursive macro declaration. [ 23s] error: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely caused by recursive macro declaration. [ 23s] error: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely caused by recursive macro declaration. [ 23s] error: Too many levels of recursion in macro expansion. It is likely caused by recursive macro declaration.

This leads to an error later: [ 24s] error: Failed build dependencies: [ 24s] rubygem(ruby:2.2.0: is needed by rubygem-net-ssh-5_0-5.0.2-0.x86_64 [ 24s] rubygem(ruby:2.3.0: is needed by rubygem-net-ssh-5_0-5.0.2-0.x86_64 [ 24s] rubygem(ruby:2.4.0: is needed by rubygem-net-ssh-5_0-5.0.2-0.x86_64 [ 24s] rubygem(ruby:2.5.0: is needed by rubygem-net-ssh-5_0-5.0.2-0.x86_64 [ 24s] rubygem(ruby:2.6.0: is needed by rubygem-net-ssh-5_0-5.0.2-0.x86_64

The macros have been defined in the prjconf long time ago and are still matching what I find in Factory or dlre prjconf.

I'll try to setup a new project for testing this. Is there any place I need to look besides prjconf and the macro package?

Kind Regards, Johannes

I have created a testcase here: home:ojkastl_buildservice:Playground

The prjconf was built from parts used in other projects for a long time, where it worked flawlessly until recently.

I could trace this down to the following line in the prjconf: # WORKING: %rb_build_versions ruby21 ruby22 ruby25 ruby26 # NON WORKING: %rb_build_versions ruby21 ruby22 ruby24 ruby25 ruby26 %rb_build_versions ruby21 ruby22 ruby23 ruby25 ruby26 As soon as I add ruby23 or ruby24 to the rb_build_versions macro, the builds on SLES12 error out with the "recursive macro declaration" error.
