» osc plugin for the lazy
osc plugin that does some output colouring, I've written another one for the lazy people like me. Mind you, osc is the command-line client for the openSUSE Build Service, and it is easy to extend through plugins.My typical workflow, when a build fails, is to do a
osc cr to see the list of succeeded and failed builds and then, if applicable, do another osc bl to see the actual build output on a failed target, having to pass the distribution and architecture as parameters, e.g.:Now, as said, I'm a lazy person, and I hate to do or type stuff a script could do for me. In the list of failed builds, I almost always go for the build log of the newest openSUSE version as it usually represents the most difficult target (more
rpmlint tests, newest GCC, etc...), which is typically openSUSE_Factory. So why would I have to type all that, right ? ;)The following
osc plugin provides a simple osc f ("f" for "fail" ;P) command that looks at the list of targets, keeps the failed ones and performs some very crude heuristics to pick the most interesting one, which is openSUSE_Factory or, if that one succeeded, the newest openSUSE version.The plugin is available as a
.py file -- simply download it and install it into /var/lib/osc-plugins/, make it executable (chmod 755) and that's all.If people use and like it, I'll make an RPM. Promised.
