Sudo fails while building for ArchLinux #1329

Closed copyme closed 8 years ago

copyme commented 8 years ago

I cannot build packages on ArchExtra via OBS because of sudo problems:

[ 138s] sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified [ 138s] ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

My project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:copyme:DGtal/DGtal

  1. This is not an OBS code problem, but a config decision
  2. The default config of all distros in build.opensuse.org is not allowing to run sudo

also, you would not have network access at all inside of the build environent. It would be a security issue and contradicts the idea of having reproducable builds.

@adrianschroeter Wait, even sudo is prohibited (which seems fair), there must be a way to resolve dependencies. It works for openSUSE, Fedora, etc. All my deps are in Extra.

adrianschroeter commented 8 years ago

you need to write dependencies into your build description, the PKGBUILD file in the depends= or makedepends= line. OBS will parse that line and install the required packages to build env.

@adrianschroeter I have that. Nevertheless after sometime I've re-trigged rebuild and there was no problem any more. Thanks.
