Sorry I didn't have time to elaborate. What I normally do is ie. leap:42.3: use osc bco -M openSUSE:Leap:42.3 gtk2 in my local obs checked out package. That gives me a long subdirectory with the package at the end. If the fix is in my local package then I use mc to copy the fixes over. Then osc vc and a description of the fix mention any patches and a bug number is mandatory for an update boo#xxxxxxx. Check in the update with osc ci and make sure it's ok. When you "osc bco -M" it tells you how to submit the package when it's fixed. Hope this helps Dave P
Hehe... Thanks, no problem, I like the "groping around in the dark" feeling. I think I have it sorted. (maybe not - see other post). What made this so darn frustrating is for 15 years it has been [patch, rpmbuild -ba whatever.spec, (all good!|damn!, redo...)?, attach to bug report], then for (5, 6, 7?) years it has been, "No use build service and branch the package" (which I dutifully did only to find "Submit" won't work), and now it is "well -- use osc instead of buildservice", Wow? Complicating the process was I filed the bug upstream with bugzilla.gnome.org which was fixed and committed directly to gtk+2.24.31, so I created a patch for both the Arch PKGBUILD, and the opensuse gtk2.spec and successfully built in buildservice for 13.2, and Leap 42.2 (the 13.1 and Tumbleweed builds will need further tweaks, probably either gtk2 version related or glib related). So no opensuse bug was ever opened, and I guess I was just too dense to know that was an osc requirement. (I do now... :) So what I envisioned taking 15 minutes for the branch/patch and build to complete and a 2-sec click-Submit has taken more than a day. (with the fringe-benefit of progressing to the knowledge level with osc in the wonderful world of cognitive taxonomy...) I guess it's better than being Paul and jacking with SCSI terminations on tape drives.... :) -- David C.
