Improvements for the Continuous Integration with OBS and GitHub/GitLab

Today, we have some improvements for the continuous integration we unveiled in our previous blog post.

Updates on a PR/MR

OBS will trigger the workflow again when new changes are detected in an opened PR/MR. It will rebuild your branched packages when pushing new commits, basically.

Build Results for Repository and Architecture

Maybe you had a workflow set for a package. That package built against several distributions and architectures but reported its results as a single build status on the checks section of the PR/MR.

Now, OBS shows the build results for each repository and architecture combination. Each one is displayed as a single commit status like this (showing GitHub in this example):

If your package builds several flavours, the status will have the flavour name appended to the package name:

Current Limitations

Right now, we only act on events coming from webhooks configured on GitHub.com or GitLab.com.

How To Give Us Feedback

There are two ways to reach us:

• On GitHub, by opening an issue and / or commenting on an already opened issue.
• On IRC, by talking directly to us. We are in the channel #opensuse-buildservice on Libera.Chat.

Please note that we favor GitHub to gather feedback as it allows us to easily keep track of the discussions.
