OBS Light Deliverable

Introduction

OBS Light project deliverable which are available are listed on this page. Publication of the information will follow the progress of the implementation (yes, we do publish early draft versions, using them is at your risk)

Packaged versions

Packaged versions of the OBS Light client (still in development) are available for OpenSUSE and Ubuntu.

For OpenSUSE 11.4

The repository is here. There are 2 packages:

• obslight, which contains the API, a commandline client, and obstag, obs2obscopy and obsextractgroups
• obslight-gui, which contains the graphical user interface

You will also need MIC, which is hosted here. To install obslight:

zypper ar -f http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/tools:/building/openSUSE_11.4/devel:tools:building.repo
zypper ar -f http://repo.pub.meego.com/Project:/OBS_Light/openSUSE_11.4/Project:OBS_Light.repo

optional, to disable GPG checks and prevent "File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'OBS_Light' is unsigned" messages

echo "gpgcheck=0" >> /etc/zypp/repos.d/Project_OBS_Light.repo

zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref
zypper in obslight

To install the GUI, you will need PySide:

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cgoncalves:/pyside:/shiboken/openSUSE_11.4/ PySide
zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref
zypper in obslight-gui

For OpenSUSE 12.1

There are 2 packages:

• obslight, which contains the API, a commandline client, and obstag, obs2obscopy and obsextractgroups
• obslight-gui, which contains the graphical user interface

You will also need MIC, which is hosted here.

zypper ar -f http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/tools:/building/openSUSE12.1/Tools:Devel.repo
zypper ar -f http://repo.pub.meego.com/Project:/OBS_Light:/openSUSE:/12.1/openSUSE_12.1/Project:OBS_Light:openSUSE:12.1.repo

optional, to disable GPG checks and prevent "File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'OBS_Light' is unsigned" messages

echo "gpgcheck=0" >> "/etc/zypp/repos.d/Project_OBS_Light_openSUSE_12.1.repo"

To install the GUI, you will need PySide:

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Fisiu:/pyside/openSUSE_12.1/home:Fisiu:pyside.repo
zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref

zypper in obslight obslight-gui

For Ubuntu

The repositories are here. Available Ubuntu versions are 10.04 and 11.10. There is only one package, obslight, which contains the commandline, the GUI and the utilities. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (or to a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obslight.list):

# Ubuntu 10.04
deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/Project:/OBS_Light/Ubuntu_10.04/ ./
deb http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/tools:/building/Ubuntu_10.04/ ./

# Ubuntu 11.10
deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/Project:/OBS_Light/Ubuntu_11.10/ ./
deb http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/tools:/building/xUbuntu_11.10/ ./

You also need a recent version of PySide:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pyside/ppa

If you have Ubuntu 10.04 and an old version of osc (< 0.132) we suggest also adding:

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/xUbuntu_10.04/ ./

Refresh the APT database and install OBS Light:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install obslight

Add yourself to the users group:

sudo usermod -a -G users `whoami`

You should log out so that the system takes into account your new group. If you don't want to log out, you can use "newgrp users" before running obslight (but it will only work in the current console).

Usage

To get a brief overview of all available commands, just type:

obslight --help

OBS Tagging and Project copying

One of the problem that any user of a private OBS will quickly face, is the need to tag specific version of a project and allow the copy of the project from an OBS to an other OBS or from one project to an other project.

More details on obstag and obs2obscopy can be found here
