1 osc -- opensuse-commander with svn like handling
4 Patches can be submitted via
5 * mail to opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org
6 * Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=openSUSE.org&component=BuildService
7 * or the official Git repository on Gitorious:
8 http://gitorious.org/opensuse/osc
13 RPM packages are here (rpm-md repository):
14 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/
16 To install from svn, do
19 python setup.py install
20 # create a symlink 'osc' in your path pointing to osc.py.
21 ln -s osc-wrapper.py /usr/bin/osc
23 Alternatively, you can directly use osc-wrapper.py from the source dir
24 (which is easier if you develop on osc).
27 The program needs the cElementTree python module installed. On SUSE, the
28 respective package is called python-elementtree (before 10.2: python-xml).
29 For local building, you will need python-urlgrabber in addition. Those are
30 standard package on SUSE Linux since a while. If your version is too old, you
31 can find python-elementtree and python-urlgrabber here:
32 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/
38 When you use it for the first time, it will ask you for your username and
39 password, and store it in ~/.oscrc.
42 CONFIGURATION MIGRATION (only affects versions >= 0.114):
44 Version 0.114 got some cleanups for the configfile handling and therefore some
45 options are now deprecated, namely:
49 One new option was added:
50 * apiurl = <protocol>://<somehost> # use this as the default apiurl. If this
51 option isn't specified the default (https://api.opensuse.org) is used.
53 So far osc still has some backward compatibility for these options but it might
54 get removed in the future that's why it issues a deprecation warning in case
55 one of those options is still in use.
57 The new configuration scheme looks like the following:
59 [<protocol>://<apiurl>]
64 '''Before starting the migration please save your ~/.oscrc file!'''
66 If the migration doesn't work for whatever reason feel free to send me an email
67 or ask on the opensuse-buildservice mailinglist or in the #opensuse-buildservice
70 === Migration case I (apisrv only) ===
71 The apisrv option is used to specify the default apihost. If apisrv isn't
72 specified at all the default ("api.opensuse.org") is used.
73 The current [general] section looks like this:
78 apisrv = <protocol>://<somehost>
80 apisrv got superseded by the new apiurl option which looks like this:
83 apiurl = <protocol>://<somehost>
85 If apisrv has no "<protocol>" https is used. Make sure all apiurl sections have
86 the new format which is described above. Afterwards apisrv can be removed.
88 === Migration case II (scheme only) ===
89 The current [general] section looks like this:
94 This means every apiurl section which don't have the new format which is
95 described above for instance
101 has to be converted to
102 [<protocol>://<somehost>]
104 password = <password>
107 Afterwards the scheme option can be removed from the [general] section (it
108 might be the case that some sections already have the correct format).
110 === Migration case III (apisrv and scheme) ===
111 The current [general] section looks like this:
117 Both options can be removed if all apiurl sections have the new format which is
118 described above. So basically just adjust all apiurl sections (it might be the
119 case that some sections already have the correct format).
124 Osc now can store passwords in keyrings instead of ~/.oscrc. To use it,
125 you need python-keyring and either python-keyring-kde or -gnome.
127 If you want to switch to using a keyring you need to delete apiurl section
128 from ~/.oscrc and you will be asked for credentials again, which will be then
129 stored in the keyring application.
132 WORKING COPY INCONSISTENT (only affects version >= 0.130)
134 osc's working copy handling was rewritten in 0.130. Thus some
135 consistency checks were added. As a result osc might complain
136 that some old working copies are in an inconsistent state:
137 Your working copy '.' is in an inconsistent state.
138 Please run 'osc repairwc .' (Note this might _remove_
139 files from the .osc/ dir). Please check the state
140 of the working copy afterwards (via 'osc status .')
141 To fix this simply run "osc repairwc ." as suggested in the
142 error message. Note that "osc repairwc ." might need to contact
143 the api in order to fetch some missing files. Also it might remove
144 some files from the storedir (.osc/) but it won't touch any locally
146 If it DOES NOT fix the problem please create a bug report and attach
147 your working copy to the bug (if possible).

153 To list existing content on the server
154 osc ls # list projects
155 osc ls Apache # list packages in a project
156 osc ls Apache subversion # list files of package of a project
159 osc co Apache # entire project
160 osc co Apache subversion # a package
161 osc co Apache subversion foo # single file
163 Update a working copy
165 osc up [pac_dir] # update a single package by its path
166 osc up * # from within a project dir, update all packages
167 osc up # from within a project dir, update all packages
168 # AND check out all newly added packages
170 If an update can't be merged automatically, a file is in 'C' (conflict)
171 state, and conflicts are marked with special <<<<<<< and >>>>>>> lines.
172 After manually resolving the problem, use
175 Upload change content
178 osc ci file1 file2 ...
180 Show the status (which files have been changed locally)
183 osc st file1 file2 ...
185 Mark files to be added or removed on the next 'checkin'
186 osc add file1 file2 ...
187 osc rm file1 file2 ...
189 Adds all new files in local copy and removes all disappeared files.
192 Generates a diff, to view the changes
193 osc diff # current dir
194 osc diff file1 file2 ...
196 Shows the build results of the package
198 osc results [repository]
200 Shows the log file of a package (you need to be inside a package directory)
201 osc log <repository> <arch>
203 Shows the URLs of .repo files which are packages sources for Yum/YaST/smart
206 Triggers a package rebuild for all repositories/architectures of a package
209 Shows available repository/build targets
212 Shows the configured repository/build targets of a project
213 osc repository <project>
215 Shows meta information
217 osc meta Apache subversion
220 Edit meta information
221 (Creates new package/project if it doesn't exist)
223 osc editmeta Apache subversion
225 Update package meta data with metadata taken from spec file
226 osc updatepacmetafromspec <dir>
229 There are other commands, which you may not need (they may be useful in scripts):
235 Locally build a package (see 'osc help build' for more info):
236 osc build <repo> <arch> specfile [--clean|--noinit]
239 Update a package to a different sources (directory foo_package_source):
240 cp -a foo_package_source foo; cd foo; osc init <prj> <pac>; osc addremove; osc ci; cd $OLDPWD; rm -r foo
246 Putting the following in the file ~/.w3m/passwd will make
247 w3m know the credentials for the buildservice servers:
250 host api.opensuse.org
252 realm Authentication required
256 host build.opensuse.org
258 realm openSUSE Build Service
263 chmod 0600 ~/.w3m/passwd
