Tips and Tricks

• msugano wanted to branch uxlanuch from the public OBS to his home in the community OBS.

On his local laptop:

$ osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com branch -cm "would like to experiment e.g. xsetroot right after the start_X_server() to enhance the UX." MeeGo.com:MeeGo:1.2:oss uxlaunch

• The new project was downloaded to his local environment. Now, it's possible to edit the source.
• The new project was created in the community OBS under msugano's home (Build Service > Projects > home:msugano:branches:MeeGo.com:MeeGo:1.2:oss > uxlaunch).
• However, the above project page says The project this package belongs to currently has no build targets defined.
• Hence, msugano clicked on the "build targets" to specify, but could not find any target build that looked relevant for the DE. (lbt fixed this => thanks)
• Then msugano received the advice to use the command line instead. (The following is not needed any more, since webui now works, but anyway FYI).

$ osc meta prj Project:DE:Trunk:Testing (copy the below)

 <repository name="standard">
   <path repository="standard" project="Project:DE:MeeGo:1.2"/>
   <arch>armv8el</arch>
   <arch>i586</arch>
 </repository>

$ osc meta prj -e home:msugano (pate the above).
