NAME¶

osc - openSUSE build service command-line tool.

SYNOPSIS¶

osc [ GLOBALOPTS] SUBCOMMAND [OPTS] [ARGS...] osc help SUBCOMMAND

DESCRIPTION¶

openSUSE build service command-line tool.

COMMANDS¶

abortbuild

Aborts the build of a certain project or package

 

usage:
osc abortbuild [PROJECT [PACKAGE [REPOSITORY [ARCH]]]] Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--all Abort all running builds of entire project
-r REPO, --repo=REPO
Abort builds for a specific repository
-a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
Abort builds for a specific architecture

 

 

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...]

 

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

 

Usage:
osc api URL

 

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-a NAME STRING, --add-header=NAME STRING

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.

build

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 honours 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] 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)

 

# 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.

 

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--oldpackages=DIR
take previous build from DIR (special values: _self,
_link)
--disable-cpio-bulk-download
disable downloading packages as cpio archive from api
--release=N

--build-uid=uid:gid|"caller"
specify the numeric uid:gid pair to assign to the
unprivileged "abuild" user or use "caller" to use the
current user uid:gid
--userootforbuild
Run build as root. The default is to build as
unprivileged user. Note that a line "# norootforbuild"
in the spec file will invalidate this option.
--define='X Y'
define macro X with value Y
--without=X
disable feature X for build
--with=X enable feature X for build
--ccache use ccache to speed up rebuilds
--icecream=N

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.

 

usage:
osc buildhist REPOSITORY ARCHITECTURE
osc buildhist PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCHITECTURE Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--csv generate output in CSV (separated by |)

 

 

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_repositoy' 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)
Note: if BUILD_DESCR does not exist locally the remote BUILD_DESCR is used

 

osc buildinfo [OPTS] PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCH [BUILD_DESCR]

 

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p DIR, --prefer-pkgs=DIR
Prefer packages from this directory when installing
the build-root
-x PAC, --extra-pkgs=PAC

buildlog (bl, blt, buildlogtail)

Shows the build log of a package

 

Shows the log file of the build of a package. Can be used to follow the log while it is being written. Needs to be called from within a package directory.

 

When called as buildlogtail (or blt) it just shows the end of the logfile. This is useful to see just a build failure reasons.

 

The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH are the first two columns in the 'osc results' output. If the buildlog url is used buildlog command has the same behavior as remotebuildlog.

 

Usage:
osc buildlog [ARGS...]

 

[REPOSITORY ARCH | BUILDLOGURL] Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o OFFSET, --offset=OFFSET
get log start or end from the offset

checkout (co)

Check out content from the repository

 

Check out content from the repository server, creating a local working copy.

 

When checking out a single package, the option --revision can be used to specify a revision of the package to be checked out.

 

When a package is a source link, then it will be checked out in expanded form. If --unexpand-link option is used, the checkout will instead produce the raw _link file plus patches.

 

usage:
osc co PROJECT [PACKAGE] [FILE]
osc co PROJECT # entire project
osc co PROJECT PACKAGE # a package
osc co PROJECT PACKAGE FILE # single file -> to current dir

 

while inside a project directory:
osc co PACKAGE # check out PACKAGE from project

 

with the result of rpm -q --qf '%{DISTURL}0 PACKAGE

-m TEXT, --message=TEXT
specify message TEXT

 

 

dependson (whatdependson)

Show the build dependencies

 

The command dependson and whatdependson can be used to find out what will be triggered when a certain package changes. This is no guarantee, since the new build might have changed dependencies.

 

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

against the revision (rev1) on the server. If rev1 and
rev2 are specified it will compare rev1 against rev2
(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
rev is negative this is like -r rev:rev-1.

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

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)

Shows the job history of a project

 

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

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.

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. 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 -

 

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
osc meta attribute PRJ [PKG [SUBPACKAGE]] [--attribute ATTRIBUTE] [--create|--delete|--set [value_list]]

- source change (eg. on updating sources)
- meta change (packages which are used for building have changed)
- rebuild count sync (In case that it is configured to sync release numbers)
