COMMANDS¶

add

Mark files to be added upon the next commit

In case a URL is given the file will get downloaded and registered to be downloaded by the server as well via the download_url source service.

This is recommended for release tar balls to track their source and to help others to review your changes esp. on version upgrades.

usage:
osc add URL [URL...]
osc add FILE [FILE...]

addchannels

Add channels to project.

The command adds all channels which are defined to be used for a given source package. The source link target is used to lookup the channels. The command can be used for a certain package or for all in the specified project.

In case no channel is defined the operation is just returning.

Examples:
osc addchannels [PROJECT [PACKAGE]] Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e, --enable-all
Enable all added channels including the ones disabled
by default.
-s, --skip-disabled
Skip disabled channels. Otherwise the source gets
added, but not the repositories.

addcontainers

Add maintained containers for a give package

The command adds all containers which are marked as maintained and contain an rpm originating from the specified source package.

Examples:
osc addcontainers [PROJECT PACKAGE] Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--extend-package-names
Extend packages names with project name as suffix

addremove (ar)

Adds new files, removes disappeared files

Adds all files new in the local copy, and removes all disappeared files.

ARG, if specified, is a package working copy.

Usage:
osc addremove [ARGS...]

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-r, --recursive
If CWD is a project dir then scan all package dirs as
well

aggregatepac

"Aggregate" a package to another package

Aggregation of a package means that the build results (binaries) of a package are basically copied into another project. This can be used to make packages available from building that are needed in a project but available only in a different project. Note that this is done at the expense of disk space. See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tips_and_Tricks#link_and_aggregate for more information.

The DESTPAC name is optional; the source packages' name will be used if DESTPAC is omitted.

usage:
osc aggregatepac SOURCEPRJ SOURCEPAC DESTPRJ [DESTPAC] Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --disable-publish
disable publishing of the aggregated package
-m SRC=TARGET[,SRC=TARGET], --map-repo=SRC=TARGET[,SRC=TARGET]
Allows repository mapping(s) to be given as
SRC=TARGET[,SRC=TARGET]
--nosources
ignore source packages when copying build results to
destination project

api

Issue an arbitrary request to the API

Useful for testing.

URL can be specified either partially (only the path component), or fully with URL scheme and hostname ('http://...').

Note the global -A and -H options (see osc help).

Examples:
osc api /source/home:user
osc api -X PUT -T /etc/fstab source/home:user/test5/myfstab
osc api -e /configuration

Usage:
osc api URL

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

-X HTTP_METHOD, -m HTTP_METHOD, --method=HTTP_METHOD
specify HTTP method to use (GET|PUT|DELETE|POST)

branch (bco, branchco, getpac)

Branch a package

[See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Collaboration for information on this topic.]

Create a source link from a package of an existing project to a new subproject of the requesters home project (home:branches:)

The branched package will live in
home:USERNAME:branches:PROJECT/PACKAGE if nothing else specified.

With getpac or bco, the branched package will come from one of
openSUSE:Factory (list of projects from oscrc:getpac_default_project) if nothing else is specfied on the command line.

In case of branch errors, where the source has currently merge conflicts use --linkrev=base option.

where a package is developed)

browse

opens browser

usage:
osc browse [PROJECT [PACKAGE]]

build (chroot, shell, wipe)

Build a package on your local machine

You need to call the command inside a package directory, which should be a buildsystem checkout. (Local modifications are fine.)

The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH can be taken from the first two columns of the 'osc repos' output. BUILD_DESCR is either a RPM spec file, or a Debian dsc file.

The command honors packagecachedir, build-root and build-uid settings in oscrc, if present. You may want to set su-wrapper = 'sudo' in oscrc, and configure sudo with option NOPASSWD for /usr/bin/build.

If neither --clean nor --noinit is given, build will reuse an existing build-root again, removing unneeded packages and add missing ones. This is usually the fastest option.

If the package doesn't exist on the server please use the --local-package option. If the project of the package doesn't exist on the server please use the --alternative-project <alternative-project> option: Example:
osc build [OPTS] --alternative-project openSUSE:10.3 standard i586 BUILD_DESCR

usage:
osc build [OPTS] # will try to guess a build environement
osc build [OPTS] REPOSITORY ARCH BUILD_DESCR
osc build [OPTS] REPOSITORY ARCH
osc build [OPTS] REPOSITORY (ARCH = hostarch, BUILD_DESCR is detected automatically)
osc build [OPTS] ARCH (REPOSITORY = build_repository (config option), BUILD_DESCR is detected automatically)
osc build [OPTS] BUILD_DESCR (REPOSITORY = build_repository (config option), ARCH = hostarch)
osc build [OPTS] (REPOSITORY = build_repository (config option), ARCH = hostarch, BUILD_DESCR is detected automatically)

For debugging purposes you can run after a build the following to jump inside of of the build environemnt:

osc shell [OPTS] REPOSITORY ARCH

Run a single command inside of the build environment:
osc shell --shell-cmd=COMMAND [OPTS] REPOSITORY ARCH

OPTS may be

--noinit # for faster run
--shell-cmd=COMMAND
--extra-pkgs=PACKAGE # install additional packages

To clean up the build environment run

osc wipe [OPTS]
osc wipe [OPTS] REPOSITORY ARCH

You may set the used VM type in oscrc already, but you can also overwrite it for example with

--vm-type=chroot # for faster, but uncleaner and unsecure build
--vm-type=kvm # for clean and secure build
--vm-type=qemu # for slow cross architecture build using system emulator

# Note: # Configuration can be overridden by envvars, e.g. # OSC_SU_WRAPPER overrides the setting of su-wrapper. # OSC_BUILD_ROOT overrides the setting of build-root. # OSC_PACKAGECACHEDIR overrides the setting of packagecachedir.

buildconfig

Shows the build config

Shows the build configuration which is used in building a package. This command is mostly used internally by the 'build' command.

The returned data is the project-wide build configuration in a format which is directly readable by the build script. It contains RPM macros and BuildRequires expansions, for example.

The argument REPOSITORY an be taken from the first column of the
'osc repos' output.

usage:
osc buildconfig REPOSITORY (in pkg or prj dir)
osc buildconfig PROJECT REPOSITORY

buildhistory (buildhist)

Shows the build history of a package

The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH can be taken from the first two columns of the 'osc repos' output.

buildinfo

Shows the build info

Shows the build "info" which is used in building a package. This command is mostly used internally by the 'build' subcommand. It needs to be called from within a package directory.

The BUILD_DESCR argument is optional. BUILD_DESCR is a local RPM specfile or Debian "dsc" file. If specified, it is sent to the server, and the buildinfo will be based on it. If the argument is not supplied, the buildinfo is derived from the specfile which is currently on the source repository server.

The returned data is XML and contains a list of the packages used in building, their source, and the expanded BuildRequires.

The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH are optional. They can be taken from the first two columns of the 'osc repos' output. If not specified, REPOSITORY defaults to the 'build_repository' config entry in your 'oscrc' and ARCH defaults to your host architecture.

usage:
in a package working copy:
osc buildinfo [OPTS] REPOSITORY ARCH BUILD_DESCR
osc buildinfo [OPTS] REPOSITORY (ARCH = hostarch, BUILD_DESCR is detected automatically)
osc buildinfo [OPTS] ARCH (REPOSITORY = build_repository (config option), BUILD_DESCR is detected automatically)
osc buildinfo [OPTS] BUILD_DESCR (REPOSITORY = build_repository (config option), ARCH = hostarch)
osc buildinfo [OPTS] (REPOSITORY = build_repository (config option), ARCH = hostarch, BUILD_DESCR is detected automatically)

dependson

dependson shows the build dependencies inside of a project, valid for a given repository and architecture.

The command can be used to find build dependencies (wrt. a given repository and arch) that reside in the same project. To see all build dependencies use the buildinfo command.

This is no guarantee, since the new build might have changed dependencies.

NOTE: to see all binary packages, which can trigger a build you need to
refer the buildinfo, since this command shows only the dependencies
inside of a project.

The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH can be taken from the first two columns of the 'osc repos' output.

usage in package or project directory:
osc dependson REPOSITORY ARCH

usage:
osc dependson PROJECT [PACKAGE] REPOSITORY ARCH

(NOTE: changes in your working copy are ignored in
this case)
-c rev, --change=rev
the change made by revision rev (like -r rev-1:rev).If

This command downloads packages directly from the api server. Thus, it directly accesses the packages that are used for building others even when they are not "published" yet.

usage:
osc getbinaries REPOSITORY # works in checked out project/package (check out all archs in subdirs)
osc getbinaries REPOSITORY ARCHITECTURE # works in checked out project/package
osc getbinaries PROJECT REPOSITORY ARCHITECTURE
osc getbinaries PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCHITECTURE
osc getbinaries PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCHITECTURE FILE Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--ccache allow fetching ccache archive
--debug also fetch debug packages
--sources also fetch source packages
-M MULTIBUILD_PACKAGE, --multibuild-package=MULTIBUILD_PACKAGE
get binaries from specified multibuild package
-d DIR, --destdir=DIR
destination directory
-q, --quiet
do not show downloading progress

help (?, h)

give detailed help on a specific sub-command

usage:
osc help [SUBCOMMAND]

importsrcpkg

Import a new package from a src.rpm

A new package dir will be created inside the project dir (if no project is specified and the current working dir is a project dir the package will be created in this project). If the package does not exist on the server it will be created too otherwise the meta data of the existing package will be updated (<title /> and <description />). The src.rpm will be extracted into the package dir. The files won't be committed unless you explicitly pass the --commit switch.

SRPM is the path of the src.rpm in the local filesystem, or an URL.

Usage:
osc importsrcpkg SRPM

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c, --commit
commit the new files
--delete-old-files

Print information about each ARG (default: '.') ARG is a working-copy path.

Usage:
osc info [ARGS...]

init

Initialize a directory as working copy

Initialize an existing directory to be a working copy of an (already existing) buildservice project/package.

(This is the same as checking out a package and then copying sources into the directory. It does NOT create a new package. To create a package, use 'osc meta pkg ... ...')

You wouldn't normally use this command.

To get a working copy of a package (e.g. for building it or working on it, you would normally use the checkout command. Use "osc help checkout" to get help for it.

usage:
osc init PRJ
osc init PRJ PAC

jobhistory (jobhist)

linkpac

"Link" a package to another package

A linked package is a clone of another package, but plus local modifications. It can be cross-project.

The DESTPAC name is optional; the source packages' name will be used if DESTPAC is omitted.

Afterwards, you will want to 'checkout DESTPRJ DESTPAC'.

To add a patch, add the patch as file and add it to the _link file. You can also specify text which will be inserted at the top of the spec file.

See the examples in the _link file.

NOTE: In case you want to fix or update another package, you should use the 'branch'
command. A branch has correct repositories (and a link) setup up by default and
will be cleaned up automatically after it was submitted back.

mbranch (maintained, sm)

Search or branch multiple instances of a package

This command is used for searching all relevant instances of packages and creating links of them in one project. This is esp. used for maintenance updates. It can also be used to branch all packages marked before with a given attribute.

[See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Concept_Maintenance for information on this topic.]

The branched package will live in
home:USERNAME:branches:ATTRIBUTE:PACKAGE if nothing else specified.

If osc maintained or sm is issued only the relevant instances of a package will be shown. No branch will be created. This is similar to osc mbranch --dryrun.

usage:
osc sm [SOURCEPACKAGE] [-a ATTRIBUTE]
osc mbranch [ SOURCEPACKAGE [ TARGETPROJECT ] ] Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

shorthand for this option)

meta

Show meta information, or edit it

Show or edit build service metadata of type <prj|pkg|prjconf|user|pattern>.

This command displays metadata on buildservice objects like projects, packages, or users. The type of metadata is specified by the word after "meta", like e.g. "meta prj".

prj denotes metadata of a buildservice project. prjconf denotes the (build) configuration of a project. pkg denotes metadata of a buildservice package. user denotes the metadata of a user. group denotes the metadata of a group. pattern denotes installation patterns defined for a project.

To list patterns, use 'osc meta pattern PRJ'. An additional argument will be the pattern file to view or edit.

With the --edit switch, the metadata can be edited. Per default, osc opens the program specified by the environmental variable EDITOR with a temporary file. Alternatively, content to be saved can be supplied via the --file switch. If the argument is '-', input is taken from stdin: osc meta prjconf home:user | sed ... | osc meta prjconf home:user -F -

For meta prj and prjconf updates optional commit messages can be applied with --message.

When trying to edit a non-existing resource, it is created implicitly.

Examples:
osc meta prj PRJ
osc meta pkg PRJ PKG
osc meta pkg PRJ PKG -e

Usage:
osc meta <prj|prjconf> [-r|--revision REV] ARGS...

pull

merge the changes of the link target into your working copy.

rdelete

Delete a project or packages on the server.

As a safety measure, project must be empty (i.e., you need to delete all packages first). Also, packages must have no requests pending (i.e., you need to accept/revoke such requests first). If you are sure that you want to remove this project and all its packages use '--recursive' switch. It may still not work because other depends on it. If you want to ignore this as well use '--force' switch.

usage:
osc rdelete [-r] [-f] PROJECT [PACKAGE]

request (review, rq)

Show or modify requests and reviews

[See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Collaboration for information on this topic.]

The 'request' command has the following sub commands:

"reopen" will set the request back to new or review.

"setincident" will direct "maintenance" requests into specific incidents

"supersede" will supersede one request with another existing one.

"revoke" will set the request state to "revoked"

"accept" will change the request state to "accepted" and will trigger the actual submit process. That would normally be a server-side copy of the source package to the target package.

"approve" marks a requests in "review" state as approved. This request will get accepted automatically when the last review got accepted.

"checkout" will checkout the request's source package ("submit" requests only).

"prioritize" change the priority of a request to either "critical", "important", "moderate" or "low"

The 'review' command has the following sub commands:

Remove 'conflicted' state on working copy files

If an upstream change can't be merged automatically, a file is put into in 'conflicted' ('C') state. Within the file, conflicts are marked with special <<<<<<< as well as ======== and >>>>>>> lines.

After manually resolving all conflicting parts, use this command to remove the 'conflicted' state.
