We did it again! Yesterday, on 19th of July 2017, we had an extended deployment time because of an issue during the deployment. Though this time it "only" took 15 minutes;-)
This sucks and that's why we want to give you some insight in what happened.

Read more...On June 30, 2017 we had an extended deployment time of roughly 45 minutes for our reference server because of a couple of problems with one of the data migrations. We implemented a new feature, user notifications via RSS, that included a migration of data in our database. This migration was broken, causing this deployment to go terribly wrong.
The frontend team afterward met to do a post-mortem to identify the problems, solutions and possible take aways for the future. This is the first post-mortem meeting we held, hopefully but not likely the last. Here goes the report.

Read more...You all know the amazing SUSE Studio and love how it abstracts the complicated process of appliance building. However, it lacks several essential features like an integration into your continuous integration workflow or automatic rebuilds on updates. If you have followed our recent blog posts then you may have noticed that we currently work on a better integration of appliance building in the Open Build Service. This blog post will show you how you can export your appliance from SUSE Studio and import it into the Open Build Service to benefit from these features.

You can expect these posts to come in roughly every 2 weeks, and we very much hope you enjoy them!
But first things first, let us introduce how we are getting to these results.
Read more...The Build Service Team is happy to announce to release of Open Build Service 2.8! We’ve been hard at work to bring you many new features to the UI, the API and the backend. The UI has undergone several handy improvements including the filtering of the projects list based on a configurable regular expresion and the ability to download a project’s gpg key and ssl certificate (also available via the API). The API has been fine-tuned to allow more control over users including locking or deleting them from projects as well as declaring users to be sub-accounts of other users. The backend now includes new features such as mulibuild - the ability to build multiple jobs from a single source package without needing to create local links. Worker tracking and management has also been enhanced along with the new obsservicedispatch service which handles sources in an asynchronous queue. Published packages can now be removed using the osc unpublish command.

And last but not least an experimental KIWI import that can be used to easily migrate your images from SUSE studio.
