2 years ago I'm sorry that I have to close this, but we are tracking issues in the source code in here. Github issues are not a way to request support from us.
However there is a vibrant community of developers, admins and users that support each other in their usage of the OBS. They meet online in a the OBS IRC chat (irc://irc.libera.chat/openSUSE-buildservice) or on the OBS mailing list). Here you can ask questions if you have trouble understanding something, you can seek advice and mingle with other OBS community members.
Thank you for your consideration.
Hi,
I know that this may not be the right place to ask Questions but I really can not find any Information about my Problem and don't know where else to ask.
Short Version: Is it possible to have build dependencies (in debain/control) on older Versions of a Package.
Lets say I got this Version Table (from apt-cache policy gcc-9): Version table: *** 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 500 500 http://mirror.de/ubuntu focal-security/main amd64 Packages 500 http://mirror.de/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 9.3.0-10ubuntu2 500 500 http://mirror.de/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages And my debian-package really needs to build against gcc 9.3, so in my control file I would add Build-Depends: gcc-9 (=9.3.0)
Is that something OBS can handle?
Background: They are using OBS in my Company as a backend and I have no possibility to see or configure anything in OBS and my build will always fail with an error message like: nothing provides gcc-9 = 9.3.0, (got version 9.4.0)
