Frequently Asked Questions

Where does obslight store its data?

All data is stored in ~/OBSLight and subdirectories.

Is there a configuration file ?

Configuration file is ~/OBSLight/obslightConfig.

How to show the log ?

• From the menu: Window -> Show log
• When a long operation is running: right click on progress bar and click Show log.

How to patch an ARM kernel for MeeGo with obslight?

It's the same approach than with i586 architecture.

• You can't use the kernel package, because it has flags to prevent builds on ARM. Use for example the kernel-adaptation-n900 package.

obslight addObsServer --serverAPI https://api.meego.com --serverRepos http://download.meego.com/live --user obsuser --passw opensuse
obslight addProject --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss --projectObsName MeeGo:1.2:oss --obsServer https://api.meego.com --projectArchitecture armv8el --projectTarget standard 
obslight addPackage --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss --package kernel-adaptation-n900
obslight createChRoot --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss
obslight addPackageSourceInChRoot --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss --package kernel-adaptation-n900

Some errors you may encounter:

• Problem: nothing provides X needed by Y
• error: Architecture is not included: armv8el
• chroot: failed to run command `sh': No such file or directory

obslight goToChRoot --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss --package kernel-adaptation-n900
# cp configs/kernel-adaptation-n900.config .config
# make menuconfig
# cp .config config-adaptation-n900
# exit
vi ~/OBSLight/MeeGo_1.2_oss/MeeGo:1.2:oss/kernel-adaptation-n900/kernel-adaptation-n900.spec

You must move your patch command %patchXXX -p1 after the command line cp $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/config-* .

obslight makePatch --projectLocalName  MeeGo_1.2_oss  --package kernel-adaptation-n900 --patch myKernelPatch.patch
obslight addAndCommitChange --projectLocalName  MeeGo_1.2_oss  --package kernel-adaptation-n900 -m "Patch kernel"

How install the dependency of a package into the chroot?

If the project on your OBS doesn’t provide some dependencies and you must add a repository to your chroot's zypper configuration, you have two choices:

• First one, use an URL and an alias:

obslight addRepoInChRoot --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss --url http://download.meego.com/live/MeeGo:/1.2:/non-oss/MeeGo_1.2/ --alias "MeeGo_non-oss"

• Second one, add the repository of another local project:

obslight addRepoInChRoot --projectLocalName MeeGo_1.2_oss --fromProject $ProjectName

Where to send bug reports ?

Bugs are centralized on MeeGo's bugzilla.
