Hi all,
In the Build Service Web UI, it seems to me that there is often quite a lag between making changes to one of the files (eg a .spec file) and seeing the correctly updated status for the packages changing to 'building' or 'queued' or whatever.
Often I find myself hitting the 'trigger rebuild' button in this case, but I still don't see any update being shown.
as written before, it is the scheduler you need to wait for.
My concern is that the web interface doesn't even tell the user that they need to wait for the scheduler (or even that such a thing exists).
I understand that you are dealing with the scheduler in some kind of asynchronous way. But there is just nothing about the web interface that tells the user that the request has been received: it's a open-loop user interface.
Yes, I agree, but I think it is not easy to implement this, since the scheduler is actually trying to find out what is affected by the changes.
Adrian, I believe John would accept that the scheduler takes some time to actually start rebuilding. Je obviously was mislead by the UI into thinking that his rebuild requests are being ignored. I agree with John that this is an issue with UI software design. John, please prefer the reload button over the rebuild trigger. cheers, Jw. -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de wide open suse_/ _---|____________/ \ | 0911 74053-508 (tm)__/ (____/ /\ (/) | __________________________/ _/ _ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "This bug is visible to non-employees.
