Hi Erich, I just hit exactly on these restrictions while implementing the automatic tests on OBS builds. Basically, we run all our builds as a non-priviledged user – a temporary user named “abuild”. ooRexx has a few hardwired paths that make it difficult to run on a temporary setup like we need to run the tests (and also to make it portable). IIRC, Raspbian is even more tied to this concept. Almost everything runs with the user “pi”. Also, there is the issue of “rexx.cat not found”. It should be fixable by declaring the NLSPATH variable. However, it has a specific format (it’s not just a directory). I’m using “export NLSPATH=<path>/%N” to be able to run the tests. The %N is substituted by the catalog name (rexx.cat). Even if Linux supports it, I researched a bit and very few (if any distros) declare it anymore. Perhaps it’s a good time to port it to GNU Gettext? As for a autobuild trigger on an external SVN commit, OBS supports it. I’ll try and find some documentation about it. I know some packages use this. -- — Erico Mendonça Dedicated Support Engineer SUSE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
