       osc - openSUSE build service command-line tool.

SYNOPSIS

       osc [GLOBALOPTS] SUBCOMMAND [OPTS] [ARGS...]
       osc help SUBCOMMAND

DESCRIPTION

       openSUSE build service command-line tool.

   COMMANDS
       abortbuild
              Aborts the build of a certain project/package

              With  the  optional argument <package> you can specify a certain
              package otherwise all builds in the project will be cancelled.

              usage:
                  osc abortbuild [OPTS] PROJECT [PACKAGE] Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
                  -r REPO, --repo=REPO
                              Abort builds for a specific repository
                  -a ARCH, --arch=ARCH
                              Abort builds for a specific architecture

       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...]

       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/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]

                              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]

       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 -m PUT -f /etc/fstab source/home:user/test5/myfstab

              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
                  -f FILE, --file=FILE
                              specify filename for e.g. PUT or DELETE
                  -d STRING, --data=STRING
                              specify string data for e.g. POST
                  -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/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
                  openSUSE:Factory if nothing else specified.

              usage:
                  osc branch

                  -c, --checkout
                              Checkout  branched package afterwards (’osc bco’
              is a
                              shorthand for this option)
                  --nodevelproject
                              do not follow a defined devel  project  (primary

       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 = 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.

                  --clean     Delete old build root before initializing it

       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.  It needs to be called from inside a package directory.

              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 arguments REPOSITORY and ARCH can be taken  from  the  first
              two columns of the ’osc repos’ output.

              usage:
                  osc buildconfig REPOSITORY ARCH    (in pkg dir)
                  osc buildconfig PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCH

       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

       buildinfo

              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 can be taken  from  the  first
              two columns of the ’osc repos’ output.

              usage:
                  osc buildinfo REPOSITORY ARCH [BUILD_DESCR]    (in pkg dir)
                  osc buildinfo PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCH [BUILD_DESCR]

              Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
                  -x PAC, --extra-pkgs=PAC
                              Add this package when computing the buildinfo

       buildlog (bl)
              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.

              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

       checkout (co)
              Check out content from the repository

              Check out content from the repository server, creating  a  local
              working copy.

              When checking out a single package, the option --revision can be
              used to specify a revision of the package to be checked out.

              When a package is a source link, then it will be checked out  in
              expanded  form.  If --unexpand-link option is used, the checkout
              will instead produce the raw _link file plus patches.

              usage:
                  osc co PROJECT [PACKAGE] [FILE]
                     osc co PROJECT                    # entire project

              Upload content which is changed in your  working  copy,  to  the
              repository server.

              Optionally  checks  the state of a working copy, if found a file
              with unknown state, it requests an user input:
               * skip - don’t change anything, just move to another file
               * remove - remove a file from dir
               * edit file list - edit filelist using EDITOR

       copypac
              Copy a package

              A way to copy package to somewhere else.

              It  can  be done across buildservice instances, if the -t option
              is used.  In that case, a client-side copy is implied.

              Using --client-side-copy always involves downloading all  files,
              and uploading them to the target.

              The  DESTPAC name is optional; the source packages’ name will be
              used if DESTPAC is omitted.

                  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.

       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
                  osc whatdependson PROJECT [PACKAGE] REPOSITORY ARCH

       diff (di)
              Generates a diff

              Generates a diff, comparing local changes against the repository
              server.

              ARG, specified, is a filename to include in the diff.

              Usage:
                  osc diff [ARGS...]

              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.

       getbinaries
              Download binaries to a local directory

              This  command  downloads  packages directly from the api server.
              Thus, it directly  accesses  the  packages  that  are  used  for
              building others even when they are not "published" yet.

              usage:
                 osc                   getbinaries                  REPOSITORY

       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

              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

       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.

       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

                 LL PROJECT PACKAGE          # verbosely list source files  of
              expanded link

              With  --verbose,  the  following  fields  will be shown for each
              item:

                              Use  this  attribute  to  find  update  projects
              (default is
                              OBS:UpdateProject)
                  -a ATTRIBUTE, --attribute=ATTRIBUTE
                              Use this attribute  to  find  affected  packages
              (default
                              is OBS:Maintained)
                  -c, --checkout
                              Checkout  branched package afterwards (’osc bco’
              is a
                              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 -

              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
                  osc  meta  attribute  PRJ  [PKG  [SUBPACKAGE]]  [--attribute
              ATTRIBUTE] [--create|--delete|--set [value_list]]

              Usage:
                  osc meta <prj|pkg|prjconf|user|pattern|attribute> ARGS...
                  osc meta <prj|pkg|prjconf|user|pattern|attribute>  -e|--edit

                  osc  meta <prj|pkg|prjconf|user|pattern|attribute> -F|--file
              ARGS...
                  osc meta pattern --delete PRJ PATTERN Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
                  --delete    delete a pattern or attribute

                  -c, --create
                              create attribute without values
                  -e, --edit  edit metadata
                  -F FILE, --file=FILE
                              read metadata from FILE, instead of  opening  an
              editor.
                              ’-’ denotes standard input.
                  --attribute-project
                              include project values, if missing in packages
                  --attribute-defaults

       patchinfo
              Generate and edit a patchinfo file.

              A  patchinfo  file  describes the packages for an update and the
              kind of problem it solves.

              Examples:
                  osc patchinfo
                  osc patchinfo PATCH_NAME Options:

       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). If you are sure  that  you  want  to
              remove this project and all its packages use ’--force’ switch.

              usage:
                 osc rdelete -f PROJECT
                 osc rdelete PROJECT PACKAGE [PACKAGE ...]

              Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
                  -f, --force

       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
                  --missingok
                              do  not   fail   if   the   source   or   target
              project/package
                              does not exist on the server
                  -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.
                  -p, --plain
                              output the diff  in  plain  (not  unified)  diff

                              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 (inside working copy)
                  osc rebuild PROJECT [PACKAGE [REPOSITORY [ARCH]]] Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
                  -f, --failed

       remotebuildlog (rbl, rbuildlog)
              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.

              usage:
                  osc remotebuildlog project package repository arch
                  or
                  osc remotebuildlog project/package/repository/arch
                  or
                  osc remotebuildlog buildlogurl Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
                  -s START, --start=START
                              get log starting from the offset

       repairlink
              Repair a broken source link

              This command checks out a package with merged source changes. It
              uses   a   3-way   merge   to   resolve  file  conflicts.  After
              reviewing/repairing the merge, use ’osc resolved ...’  and  ’osc
              ci’ to re-create a working source link.

              usage: * For merging conflicting changes of a checkout package:
                  osc repairlink

              * Check out a package and merge changes:
                  osc repairlink PROJECT PACKAGE

              * Pull conflicting changes from one project into another one:
                  osc repairlink PROJECT PACKAGE INTO_PROJECT [INTO_PACKAGE]

              Options:
                  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

       repos  shows repositories configured for a project

              usage:
                  osc repos
                  osc repos [PROJECT]

       repositories (platforms)
              Shows available repositories

              Examples: 1. osc repositories
                      Shows all available repositories/build targets

              2. osc repositories <project>
                      Shows  the  configured  repositories/build  targets of a
              project

              Usage:
                  osc repositories [ARGS...]

       repourls
              Shows URLs of .repo files

              Shows URLs on which to access the  project  .repos  files  (yum-
              style metadata) on download.opensuse.org.

              usage:
                 osc repourls [PROJECT]

       request (review, rq)
              Show and modify requests

              [See    http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Collaboration   for
              information on this topic.]

              This command shows and modifies existing requests. To create new
              requests you need to call one of the following:
                osc submitrequest
                osc deleterequest
                osc  changedevelrequest  To  send  low  level  requests to the
              buildservice API, use:
                osc api

              This 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" and append
              a message that you specify with the --message option.

              "wipe" will permanently delete a request.

              "revoke"  will  set  the request state to "revoked" and append a
              message that you specify with the --message option.

              "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. This only
              works for "submit" requests.

              usage:
                  osc  request  list  [-M]  [-U USER] [-s state] [-D DAYS] [-t

       resolved
              Remove ’conflicted’ state on working copy files

              If an upstream change can’t be merged automatically, a  file  is
              put into in ’conflicted’ (’C’) state. Within the file, conflicts
              are marked with special <<<<<<< as well as ======== and  >>>>>>>
              lines.

              After manually resolving all conflicting parts, use this command
              to remove the ’conflicted’ state.

              Note:  this subcommand does not semantically  resolve  conflicts
              or  remove  conflict  markers;  it  merely removes the conflict-
              related artifact files and allows PATH to be committed again.

              usage:
                  osc resolved FILE [FILE...]

              osc   signkey   [--create|--delete]   <PROJECT>   osc    signkey
              [--notraverse] <PROJECT>

              This  command  is for managing gpg keys. It shows the public key
              by default. There is no way to download or  upload  the  private
              part of a key by design.

              However  you  can create a new own key. You may want to consider
              to sign the public key with your own existing key.

              If a project has no key, the key from upper level  project  will
              be  used  (eg.  when  dropping "KDE:KDE4:Community" key, the one
              from "KDE:KDE4" will be used).

              WARNING: THE OLD KEY WILL NOT BE RESTORABLE WHEN USING DELETE OR
              CREATE

       triggerreason (tr)
              Show reason why a package got triggered to build

              The  server  decides  when  a package needs to get rebuild, this
              command shows the detailed reason for a package. A brief  reason
              is also stored in the jobhistory, which can be accessed via "osc
              jobhistory".

              Trigger reasons might be:
                - new build (never build yet or rebuild manually forced)
                - source change (eg. on updating sources)
                - meta change (packages  which  are  used  for  building  have
              changed)
                -  rebuild  count  sync (In case that it is configured to sync
              release numbers)

              usage in package or project directory:
                  osc reason REPOSITORY ARCH
                  osc reason PROJECT PACKAGE REPOSITORY ARCH

       undelete
              Restores a deleted project or package on the server.

              The server restores a package including  the  sources  and  meta
              configuration.   Binaries remain to be lost and will be rebuild.

              usage:
                 osc undelete PROJECT
                 osc undelete PROJECT PACKAGE [PACKAGE ...]

       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. Without this option, the
              _link  file  and  patches  will  be  checked  out.  The   option
              --unexpand-link  can  be used to switch back to the "raw" source
              with a _link file plus patch(es).

              Usage:
                  osc update [ARGS...]

                              generation.
                  -e, --expand-link
                              if a package is a link, update to  the  expanded
              sources
                  -u, --unexpand-link
                              if  a package is an expanded link, update to the
              raw
                              _link file
                  -r REV, --revision=REV
                              update to specified revision (this  option  will
              be
                              ignored if you are going to update the complete
                              project or more than one package)
