Creating specfile

English Open Build Service (OBS)
1

Hi

I started following the instructions here openSUSE:Build Service Tutorial - openSUSE to build an rpm for Groovy 1.8.2, i have got the project created and the file uploaded but I have gotten to the section to create a specfile, it takes me to download here software.opensuse.org: Search Results

I seem to be stuck getting access to the spec template seems to rely on ‘osc’ however after installing the rpm devtools I still get osc command is unknown. What do i do ?

Everything is here https://build.opensuse.org/package/repositories?package=Groovy&project=home%3Aflebber

Hi
I just manually create them, it’s just a text file…
See here for an example
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-build-creating-spec-file.html

Is it this?

Hi
OK, there is a version on OBS;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=groovy.spec&package=groovy&project=Java%3Apackages&srcmd5=ff5114145c965346f45ba18807aefb2f

Read the note at the very top too :wink: What you should look at doing is
branching the package.

Thanks for all the advice. I have branched the repo as you suggested updated the spec and groovy files. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=groovy&project=home%3Aflebber%3Abranches%3AJava%3Apackages

But what happens now?

Hi
You need to correct the src file, the download is
http://dist.groovy.codehaus.org/distributions/groovy-src-1.8.2.zip
You have a tar.gz file.

You need to update the spec file etc and I suggest building locally
with the osc command to detect the build errors…
