Google Drive

**griadooss** · 03-Dec-2018, 21:16

Really do need an interface to Google Drive (ala Dropbox) ... i see there are some unofficial packages here .. but they leave me confused. Are they separate items or dependently inclusive? I see one says that it failed to build!!??

In the official OpenSuse repo i see three entries for 'google drive' .. but none of the descriptions fill me with confidence.

If anyone has been able to find a solid stable solution i would be most appreciative of the advice.

Thanks.

I found this version that would suit my needs ... google-drive-ocamlfuse .... however, it does not have an OpenSuse15 repo ...

it is here ...

Code:

"http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/ocaml/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/"

Probably a silly question, but is it safe to use a 42.3 repo for OpenSuse 15???

Depends on your definitions of "safe". I do not think it is a security issue, it is simply a case of does it "work" or not. It could function, but as it is not build against 15.0, you never know.

Better ask the maintainer to build it for 15.0.

Another option you have, is to use your credentials to login on build.opensuse.org, branch the package and build it yourself for 15.0

Really?? This sounds interesting!

I logged in but have no idea how to go about 'branching and building myself' ... but no pain no gain they say

If not too much trouble ... can you help get me started perhaps???

Thanks!

Hi
This should get you going...

I use the command line tool on my local computer to all building/testing and then upload to OBS;

Unfortunately ....

Code:

$ osc build openSUSE_Leap_15.0 x86_64 google-drive-ocamlfuse.spec

openSUSE_Leap_15.0 is not a valid repository, use one of: openSUSE_13.2, openSUSE_Leap_42.1, openSUSE_Leap_42.3, openSUSE_Tumbleweed

... is that the final word, or is there something that can be done about it??

Eh, a look at https://software.opensuse.org/packag...rive-ocamlfuse that there are also experimental packages for Leap 15. Use at own risk.

Hi
If you branched the project, you need to go into the 'repositories' tab on the web UI and add the repository if it doesn't exist.

Do you have a link to your project?

Well .... i followed the tute and substituted the ocaml project for the example given .. yes, it is branched locally .... I have since added the 15.0 repo at the web UI as you suggest but when i re-run the build command locally i get the same result. I suppose i should branch it again???

A link to MY project?? ... hmmm, well all i have is the default "Home Title Description" project on the web UI that was a result of following the tute .. so looks like i am missing an important step here somewhere?!? ... but instead of guessing i will await your sage reply.
