http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503280 Summary: hideous kernel build behavior Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mmeeks@novell.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- Trying to build a package that depends on kernel-syms has been horrific for me for the last few days. After Adrian told us about the cicount="copy" option - things improved a little - at least the major version matched: however still, nothing built. It *seems* as if, a necessary condition to get a functioning and consistent kernel-syms build, is that *all* kernel packages have been built the exact same number of times. Otherwise the most minor version element is out of sync and breaks everything: cf. Devel:Moblin egalax-touchscreen: "nothing provides kernel-default-devel = 2.6.29.2-4.2 needed by kernel-syms, nothing provides kernel-pae-devel = 2.6.29.2-4.2 needed by kernel-syms, nothing provides kernel-trace-devel = 2.6.29.2-4.2 needed by kernel-syms" unless you grok the above, this sounds odd; all the kernels are there, built and with a cicount="copy" - but sadly, they have somewhat different tiny version pieces: kernel-source-2.6.29.2-4.1.noarch.rpm kernel-debug-2.6.29.2-4.2.i586.rpm kernel-default-2.6.29.2-4.3.i586.rpm kernel-pae-2.6.29.2-4.3.i586.rpm kernel-syms-2.6.29.2-4.2.i586.rpm kernel-trace-2.6.29.2-4.1.i586.rpm is it -really- the case that this can only be fixed by: * manually triggering two re-builds of kernel-trace, and one of all but kernel-syms - in order to get thee versions to match. * removing all the packages, and re-creating them to force clean re-builds: FWIW the lack of a functioning 'createpac' that can be used from the shell easily; is -sorely- missed here - I don't want a bunch of (sed required) XML - I just want a default, empty package called 'kernel-default' or is there some other trick I am missing here ?
