Bug 1047291

I guess kiwi.spec should stop shipping kiwi-tools

I send in a drop request for the kiwi package some time ago which was put back to the backlog because the dist people still need time to switch to the new product-builder which was done by kiwi before

Thus once the kiwi package and its sub-packages kiwi-tools, kiwi-pxeboot are gone the problem reported here is solved.

Except from the suse internal product builder reference there is nothing which should hold us back to get rid of kiwi in Factory, 42.3 and beyond

the new product builder is future for Factory. 42.3 still uses the old one and is almost done. We need a fix for the kiwi package there.

Just noting that the new version came into Leap 42.2 via maintenance, bug 1047291.

Marcus, please review https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/509114

Thanks for the change, but the spec file in kiwi is generated from this template:
https://github.com/SUSE/kiwi/blob/master/package/python-kiwi-spec-template, thus I can't do much with the obs request. Would you mind to apply the change as a github pull request ?

Other than that I'm still confused why kiwi-tools in different major versions can't be provided by different packages ? The latest version in the resolver chain is picked up by zypper without any conflict.

The kiwi-tools version provided by python-kiwi is compatible with the kiwi(v7) version. The kiwi-tools from kiwi(v7) is however not compatible with the next generation python-kiwi package. It would be a mistake of python-kiwi to not provide the tools it needs

If this must be changed for whatever reason I'm ok with changing it in the kiwi(v7) spec file but not in the actively developed successor. Not providing
the code of kiwi-tools in the active development stream doesn't make sense to me

Sorry forget what I wrote, your change is against kiwi(v7)... reading obs requests always confuse me

So, will you approve the request?

I have taken the changes and moved them into a pull request for kiwi

* https://github.com/openSUSE/kiwi/pull/646

From there all the way down to a submission into the buildservice should be possible without creating a conflict in e.g the changelog

I'm sorry but the source for everything is in git, all package files are created from there thus static changes in obs requests doesn't work for me

ok, thanks. Please submit kiwi back to openSUSE:Leap:42.3 then. I prefer a backport of the change to the version of kiwi we have there. I'd like to avoid experiments with kiwi at this point.

ok, I created a branch of the 7.04.8 release (current version in 42.3) and ported the change there. Here is the submission:

Thanks

looks good

ok created new submission: request id 510239

I see that the pxe package is no longer built in home:sax2:branches:openSUSE:Leap:42.3/kiwi, looks okay.
