Build Service: Branch Checkout

Hello all

This may or may not be the right place to ask, but why, when trying to branch a package from a specific project, do I get something entirely different?

Case in point, using osc on the command line, but same occurs via the web interface:

osc bco  openSUSE:12.1  [MozillaThunderbird](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:12.1/MozillaThunderbird)

And I get, e.g.,:

add-plugins.sh.in
compare-locales.tar.bz2
create-tar.sh
enigmail-1.3.2.tar.gz
find-external-requires.sh
l10n-7.0.1.tar.bz2
mozilla-cairo-return.patch
mozilla-curl.patch
mozilla-dump_syms-static.patch
mozilla-language.patch
mozilla-linux3.patch
mozilla-shared-nss-db.patch
mozilla.sh.in
MozillaThunderbird.changes
MozillaThunderbird.desktop
MozillaThunderbird-rpmlintrc
MozillaThunderbird.spec
suse-default-prefs.js
tb-develdirs.patch
tb-ssldap.patch
thunderbird-7.0.1-source.tar.bz2
thunderbird-shared-nss-db.patch

But if I do this instead:

osc bco  openSUSE:12.1  MozillaThunderbird

What I get is this:

add-plugins.sh.in
compare-locales.tar.bz2
_constraints
create-tar.sh
enigmail-1.5.1.tar.gz
enigmail-old-gcc.patch
find-external-requires.sh
kde.js
l10n-17.0.5.tar.bz2
mozilla-arm-disable-edsp.patch
mozilla-gcc43-enums.patch
mozilla-gcc43-template_hacks.patch
mozilla-gcc43-templates_instantiation.patch
mozilla-kde.patch
mozilla-language.patch
mozilla-nongnome-proxies.patch
mozilla-ppc.patch
mozilla-shared-nss-db.patch
mozilla.sh.in
MozillaThunderbird.changes
MozillaThunderbird.spec
suse-default-prefs.js
tb-develdirs.patch
tb-ssldap.patch
thunderbird-17.0.5-source.tar.bz2
thunderbird.desktop
thunderbird-rpmlintrc
thunderbird-shared-nss-db.patch

In other words, it’s gone from version 7 to version 17 for no apparent reason. This confuses me.

For those wondering what I am trying to do: I’ve just upgraded my laptop to 12.3, and Thunderbird is a bloody disaster. It refuses to talk to certain SMTP servers with an invalid certificate error (while the exact same Thunderbird on another machine also running 12.3 works fine) and its rendering is a catastrophe (missing characters, fails to redraw, message pane simply goes gray, …), so I have decided to try to go back to what I had before. But this is beside the point.

Hi
In the second case you are branching the maintained package, the first one is to a specific project/package. Using osc se (search) and osc sm (maintained) shows the difference. Also 12.1 is EOL and disabled…

Well, there is a buildservice subforum…
