I do not know why but my home:fusion809:arch_extra project has several packages saying they are “Scheduled” (you know, for building) and many of these packages have been scheduled for 10+ hours, so I suspect it might be related to an error I get when I try downloading the broadcom-wl-dkms package using the pacman package manager, namely:
error: failed retrieving file 'broadcom-wl-dkms-6.30.223.271-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from download.opensuse.org : Maximum file size exceeded
As this gave me the idea that my repo’s packages were too large I deleted a few packages I no longer needed, yet still I am getting this error. Any ideas how I can fix it?
Hi
That’s a package that’s not allowed to be distributed on OBS, see their license… get an account on packman [https://pmbs.links2linux.de/], (or just use packman)
Remember home repos are by default low hanging fruit, other projects take priority, so if the openSUSE Build Service is busy (as in getting out a new Tumbleweed release), things can be delayed, re-scheduled etc, it’s normal…
I would suggest you remove those packages, in your case see if the packman folks can import the arch stuff as a build target, else a local build service instance may be better for you?
The other option is to just build locally and only have place holders on OBS, disable publishing and have no files present (I do that for things like libdvdcss) then just have a local repo.
