We released another 2.1 version. More important then the actual changes is actually the new place. We moved the 2.1 stream now to the "openSUSE:Tools:2.1" project to free "openSUSE:Tools" for the upcomming 2.3 release.

Please find the packages and appliances here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools:/2.1/

If you want to stay on 2.1 branch for some time, please modify your update repository entry now.

The openSUSE:Tools project is now on hold until 2.3 gets released.

The changes are quite minimal:

Feature backports:

• none

Changes:

• backend: support projects with defined devel projects (from OBS 2.3)

Bugfixes:

• webui: Fix revert to revision button by using the revision to revert to.
• webui: fix link to new forum location of OBS forums. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: [email protected]

Yet another really small OBS maintenance release. This release is basically fixing one thing: linking to remote source links/branches of packages.

This was broken since a long time (but api.opensuse.org was not affected for some reason).

Packages are as usual in openSUSE:Tools project, the appliances have been updated.

Release Notes:

Feature backports:

• none

Changes:

• Removed openSUSE 11.2 from default list since it runs out-of-maintenance

Bugfixes:

• api: fix handling of source linking/branching packages on a remote server, which are a link/branch there as well. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: [email protected]

We just released OBS 2.1.8. Maybe the last maintenance release before 2.3.

This release brings in first place fixes for the experimental apache/passenger support. People who try to use this should update in any case.

As usual you can find packages below:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/

and updated appliances here:

Full changelog from release notes:

Feature backports:

• Support for request notifications when a request has multiple actions

Changes:

• Remove Ubuntu 9.04 from default targets and added 11.04
  • api: strip passwords in log files (when running in debug mode)

Bugfixes:

• webui: support mod_xforward
  • api: fix handling of not permitted PUT/POST commands when use apache with mod_rails
  • api: fix crash when accessing attributes on remote projects -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: [email protected]

We have just published another maintenance release for OBS 2.1.

Beside the usual bugfixes, it supports some new features:

• Building against OBS 2.3 remote instances (like api.opensuse.org) is working now even when new features are used in the projects.

• It comes with a default configuration for apache2. While lighttpd remains to be the standard for 2.1, we will most likely switch to apache for OBS 2.3. People who reported random incorrect answers from OBS (like empty answers with OK/code 200) should be able to solve these problems with this setup. There will be also a follow up post about how to use the load optimizations via mod_xforward.

Updaters from any OBS 2.1 release can just upgrade the packages and restart all services. Updaters from former releases should read the README.UPDATERS file.

Due to a security issue we use "bsdtar" now to setup a build environment in a secure way. Please note that builds inside of a chroot environment are still insecure, you still need to use KVM or XEN. Please update the "build" package also to get the bsdtar support.
