Hello geeckos!
I created a little project because I want to getting around with OBS. So, I tried to create a standard-Kernel-package of linux 2.6.32.29. I created the project:
Project home:openLHAG:kernel, Package kernel-default
and then I wanted to load up the source code.... I downloaded the tar.bz2-file from kernel.org, and tried to upload it to OBS. But the uploading-screen doesn?t go away. It still stays after a few minutes. Am I just too impatiant or is this a general issue?
Several issues with that. First of all, the web server behind the webui is not capable of streaming uploads. Therefore, uploading such a big tarball takes time. As a solution, you should use the command line client (osc) to upload files. But why do you create a new kernel package from scratch? I'd say you could save a lot of work by branching from one of the already existing packages (like for example, in the project Kernel:HEAD). This way, collaboration will be much easier in the long run.
I?m really green to OBS and package creating, so I really need your help :)
Thank you very much in advance kdl
