Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2009-07-13 14:15:46 UTC 
it happens on every version update of OOo when there is one build failure. And the right solution is to keep the old version intact - solution 2.
Comment 2 Tor Lillqvist 2009-07-14 08:20:26 UTC 
This is for Petr, right?
Comment 3 Petr Mladek 2009-07-20 18:12:00 UTC 
I think that the problem is combination of more things:

1. OOo build is split into more pieces and it takes long time.

2. I do my best to submit buildable packages but it takes many days before the 
   submit request is accepted. Other submitted packages causes new build 
   breakages.

3. Build Service is much slower than autobuild and it takes many days until the 
   full build finishes. OOo is a leaf package and it is sometimes not built 
   many days at all.

4. The build hosts are unstable and cause many false build errors. At least, I 
   see this in the external Build Service.

5. It is not easy to check for build failures. I use 
   osc -A https://api.suse.de prjresults "SUSE:Factory:Head" -n "OpenOffice_org"
   It shows "b = blocked" most of the time; It is hard to catch "F = failure"


We are working on bigger changes in the split build that should reduce the build dependencies and might help to build OOo earlier. Unfortunately, it is quite complex task and we will use it for OOo-3.2 (after openSUSE-11.2 release).

I think that we also need changes in the other areas:
    + faster check in
    + faster Build Service
    + more stable build hosts
    + more effective access to the build results
Comment 6 Gerald Pfeifer 2010-04-06 14:08:03 UTC 
As the reporter, I think I have seen the situation improve 
significantly since filing the report (without knowing what,
if anything) has been changed.

From this perspective I'd be fine seeing this as RESOLVED FIXED.
Comment 7 Petr Mladek 2010-04-07 09:19:23 UTC 
Yup, I think that the Build Service improved a lot and OOo builds more reliably now.

Closing as RESOLVED FIXED as suggested by Gerald in the comment #6.
