11/11/08--09:17: Developing with libyui/libzypp & python – part4 (chan 1778776)

Let’s extend the application to make it even more useful! * add support for YaST-Repositories * add Support for different architectures * use always a random temporary directory Now, it looks like this: You can grab it out of my home: in the openSUSE Build Service (for openSUSE 11.0). Start it with “repoviewer”, add the [...]


01/27/09--10:22: Build maemo-apps with openSUSE BuildService ? – It works ! (chan 1778776)

The openSUSE Build Service is an open and complete distribution development platform. It’s the infrastructure for a development of the openSUSE distributions. But this powerful tool can do much more! The upcoming version 1.5 will also have cross-build support and thus be able to build e.g. ARM packages on x86 hardware . Maemo is the [...]


05/04/09--08:32: GSoC introduction – openSUSE@ARM (chan 1778776)

Hi openSUSE community! I’m glad my proposal was accepted and today I want to introduce myself and my GSoC project. /me , thats Jan-Simon Möller and I’m just finishing my Diploma in electrical engineering at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. I’m coordinator of the openSUSE Weekly Newsletter and contribute also to the hamradio repository, the iFolder [...]

05/15/09--03:53: cat /usr/local/bin/osc (chan 1778776)

Until the Build Service supports git natively (see the GSoC project) , here is what I use to track my changes locally: #cat /usr/local/bin/osc  : #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/osc “$@” if [ -e .osc/_files ]; then if [ ! -d .git ] ; then  git init ; echo “.osc” > .gitignore ; echo “.gitignore” >> .gitignore ; [...]


05/30/09--07:20: openSUSE@ARM/GSoC: weekly status (chan 1778776)

Hi everyone! This week was exciting – we deployed a first prototype of a minimal ARM environment on build.opensuse.org in the repository Base:build:arm. It’s a set of packages which is capable of bootstrapping itself and still in an early stage as it’s using full emulation. Next station: speed-up ! I submitted also some patches for [...]


06/06/09--04:12: openSUSE@ARM/GSoC: weekly status (chan 1778776)

openSUSE@ARM/GSoC: weekly status The topic of this week was to speed up the build. As I mentioned last week, the prototype in Base:build:arm is compiling in an emulated environment and thus is quite slow. I prepared a cross-toolchain from the sources of binutils, gcc44 and glibc from openSUSE:Factory. Now its time to integrate this into [...]


06/16/09--07:13: openSUSE@ARM/GSoC: Cross-compilation & speedup (chan 1778776)

This weeks topic was the integration of the cross-compilation mode into the build environment. But it’s more than just a cross-toolchain – it’s a speed-boost for our ARM build environment. As of today, the source is deployed in the repository Base:build:arm:cross. It’s not fully bootstrapped because of the current high load and the upcoming downtime [...]


08/12/09--08:57: openSUSE@ARM: GSoC status and final spurt (chan 1778776)

I was buried with work in the last couple of days, so whats new on my GSoC-project: a lot of patches went into factory and some more are queued fixed issues with qemu most yast packages already building zypper builds, but requires some more bugfixing X11 builds cross-compilation stable, speed is good Todo: create image [...]
