openSUSE Buildservice: cross-build

October 4th, 2008 by

There is some good news for you: in cooperation with Marcus Hüwe the download on demand feature is now working seamlessly with cross-build, making it a combined “super feature”.

Also, I have put together a “condensed” cross-build in OBS document in the OBS Wiki Concepts collection.

New OBS cross-build installation packages will be provided inside openSUSE:Tools:Devel soon.

Have fun.

Developing with libyui/libzypp & python – part3

October 3rd, 2008 by

In part 1 we installed and tested libyui and its python binding and part 2 was about constructing the GUI. Now its time for the libzypp-bindings – of course for python ;). So far the GUI looks like:


We will import a repository’s metadata and list its content. But let’s move on …
I assume you have already installed the software from part 1. Then we’ll just donwload the missing parts.

good news for Russian opensuse users.

October 1st, 2008 by

I’m glad to announce the availability of repositories tree on Russian mirror.

We altered mirror structure. Now we have one server for repositories tree (later we are going to add Factory tree there.) And three servers for other static stuff (like repo and iso dirs). It means that 1-click install will try to get package from closest mirror (yandex). And it means that Russian users get significant improvement in download speed. After a week of hard work we make it real. Thanks to Peter Poeml (from suse) and Arkady L. Shane (from yandex).
