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

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.

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
        -a NAME STRING, --add-header=NAME STRING
                    add the specified header to the request
        -T FILE, -f FILE, --file=FILE
                    specify filename to upload, uses PUT mode by default
        -d STRING, --data=STRING
                    specify string data for e.g. POST
        -e, --edit GET, edit and PUT the location
        -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. usage:

                    where a package is developed)

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
        --nopreinstallimage, --no-preinstallimage

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
        -M MPAC, --multibuild-package=MPAC

        --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

        -d, --debug
                    verbose output of build dependencies

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
        -s, --strip-time
                    strip leading build time from the log
        -o OFFSET, --offset=OFFSET

                    never remove source package on accept, but update its
                    content
        --cleanup remove package if submission gets accepted (default
                    for home:<id>:branch projects)
        --nodevelproject
                    do not follow a defined devel project (primary project
                    where a package is developed)
        -s REQUEST_ID, --supersede=REQUEST_ID

delete (del, remove, rm)
    Mark files or package directories to be deleted upon the next 'checkin' usage:
        cd .../PROJECT/PACKAGE
        osc delete FILE [...]
        cd .../PROJECT
        osc delete PACKAGE [...] This command works on check out copies. Use "rdelete" for working on server side only. This is needed for removing the entire project. As a safety measure, projects must be empty (i.e., you need to delete all packages first). If you are sure that you want to remove a package and all its files use '--force' switch. Sometimes this also works without --force. Options:
        -h, --help show this help message and exit
        -f, --force
                    forces removal of entire package and its files

                    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 usage:
        osc dependson PROJECT [PACKAGE] REPOSITORY ARCH

                    output the diff in plain (not unified) diff format
        -r rev1[:rev2], --revision=rev1[:rev2]
                    If rev1 is specified it will compare your working copy
                    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.

        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

info
    Print information about a working copy 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. usage:
        osc linkpac SOURCEPRJ SOURCEPAC DESTPRJ [DESTPAC] Options:

                    add.

linktobranch
    Convert a package containing a classic link with patch to a branch This command tells the server to convert a _link with or without a project.diff to a branch. This is a full copy with a _link file pointing to the branched place. usage:
        osc linktobranch # can be used in checked out package
        osc linktobranch PROJECT PACKAGE

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. usage:

                    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. 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:

rdiff
    Server-side "pretty" diff of two packages Compares two packages (three or four arguments) or shows the changes of a specified revision of a package (two arguments) If no revision is specified the latest revision is used. Note that this command doesn't return a normal diff (which could be applied as patch), but a "pretty" diff, which also compares the content of tarballs. usage:
        osc rdiff OLDPRJ OLDPAC NEWPRJ [NEWPAC]
        osc rdiff PROJECT PACKAGE Options:
        -h, --help show this help message and exit
        -u, --unexpand

                    does not exist on the server
        -c rev, --change=rev
                    the change made by revision rev (like -r rev-1:rev).

                    show only issues in diff
        --oldpkg=OLDPKG
                    package to compare against (deprecated, use 3 argument
                    form)
        --oldprj=OLDPRJ
                    project to compare against (deprecated, use 3 argument
                    form)

rebuild (rebuildpac)
    Trigger package rebuilds Note that it is normally NOT needed to kick off rebuilds like this, because they principally happen in a fully automatic way, triggered by source check-ins. In particular, the order in which packages are built is handled by the build service. The arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH can be taken from the first two columns of the 'osc repos' output. usage:
        osc rebuild [PROJECT [PACKAGE [REPOSITORY [ARCH]]]] Options:
        -h, --help show this help message and exit
        --all Rebuild all packages of entire project

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: "list" lists open requests attached to a project or package or person. Uses the project/package of the current directory if none of -M, -U USER, project/package are given. "log" will show the history of the given ID "show" will show the request itself, and generate a diff for review, if used with the --diff option. The keyword show can be omitted if the ID is numeric. "decline" will change the request state to "declined" "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. "checkout" will checkout the request's source package ("submit" requests only). "priorize" change the prioritity of a request to either "critical", "important", "moderate" or "low" The 'review' command has the following sub commands: "list" lists open requests that need to be reviewed by the specified user or group "add" adds a person or group as reviewer to a request "accept" mark the review positive "decline" mark the review negative. A negative review will decline the request. usage:

update (up)
    Update a working copy examples: 1. osc up
            If the current working directory is a package, update it.
            If the directory is a project directory, update all contained
            packages, AND check out newly added packages.
            To update only checked out packages, without checking out new
            ones, you might want to use "osc up *" from within the project
            dir. 2. osc up PAC
            Update the packages specified by the path argument(s) When --expand-link is used with source link packages, the expanded sources will be checked out.
