Help migrating package Bear to Rust

English Open Build Service (OBS)
1

Bear is a tool to create a JSON compilation data base file. It contains all the commands that are called to build a program.

There is a openSuse package for Bear. With Bear 4.0.0 it switched from C++ to Rust. Setting the package up as a Rust package is a challenge for me. I am looking for some to help me with that. I already added the new tarball and created the changelog.

OBS link to my branch of the package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mathletic:branches:devel:tools:building/Bear

@gruenich You need a _service to create a vedor.tar.zst file (I would also pull the source tarball as well).

See an example here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/gst-thumbnailers

Can I create the vendor.tar.zst in the web-frontend?

4

Create a _service file in the WEB UI and can run the service from there AFAIK.

Just create an new package following:
