Hi,

These are my first steps with OBS so please be patient.

In the end, I want build an updated version of emacs-auctex. Since I have several OpenSUSE installation, I want to put the newer version on the OpenSUSE build service system (also if someone else want to use it). First I created a branch of the package and checked it out:

This apparently worked. However, I cannot build the package locally (even before applying changes):

Where is my error?

After fixing this problem, I would go on changing the spec file and adding the new source code. After checking for a successful build I would upload my changes. In general, is this the correct way for updating a package to a new upstream release?

Thanks!

Hi
Are you building on a x86_64 system?

If you just use;


osc build openSUSE_12.3

Have you configured your ~/.oscrc file, I also add my user in the
sudoers file for using build.

This produces the same error.

Ok, I uncommented “sudo-wrapper = sudo” (which was probably default anyway), and added the line “<MYUSER> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/build” with visudo. Still the same problem. Any other settings I should care about in ~/.oscrc?

Thanks

Hi
I would delete your update project branch, then follow this guide;

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Concept_Maintenance

You need to run for example;


osc maintained emacs-auctex

openSUSE:12.1:Update/emacs-auctex
openSUSE:12.2:Update/emacs-auctex
openSUSE:12.3:Update/emacs-auctex

osc branch -M -c openSUSE:12.3 emacs-auctex
#5

This is exactly what created my branch mentioned above.

Nonetheless, as far as I can see

osc build openSUSE_12.3_Update_standard

seems to work… At least it downloads a lot now…
