Hey, look! Someone reported a bug about this!

*checks notes*

It was me. Over 18 months ago 😐

https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/16891

#OpenSuse #OpenBuildService

<add> uses unsupported `%patchN` notation · Issue #16891 · openSUSE/open-build-service

Issue Description I am using a _link file with a <add> element to add a small patch to an upstream package. Since yesterday, that package is no longer passing the build on the openbuildservice.org ...

I think I've got a patch for my emoji skin tone annoyance.

Good: I can put it in Open Build Service and the docs say that there's a `<add>` element that does all of the spec editing for me! (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tips_and_Tricks#Adding_patch_files_in_linked_packages)

Bad: You use it and it puts in a `%patchN` line and the build errors out with `%patchN is obsolete, use %patch N (or %patch -P N)` 😐

Managed to use the openSUSE build service (obs) to build a first project (a container) https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:jornfranke. I followed this tutorial: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Tutorial (it is about packages, but looking at existing examples I managed to build a container).

You can use it to build own distributions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Build_Service

An impressive and very interesting service. Glad that I learned it a bit and happy to dive deeper - a very useful skill.

Ahah! Found it! It was because `xdg-desktop-portal-gnome` got uninstalled while I was uninstalling Flatpak the other day (because who needs Flatpak when you've got RPMs and #openSUSE #Tumbleweed plus the #OpenBuildService?)

There we go. Finally got round to fixing the failing builds on my OBS (where upstream changed and my patch no longer cleanly applied).

Includes updates to Xavier Claessens' notorious "Whiteboard 142"/"PR 1030" type-ahead patch, where the Gnome devs refuse to make Nautilus do the helpful and standard "type-ahead in this folder" behaviour by default with search available if you explicitly want to search, rather than being forced to try and solve a navigation problem with only search tools.

I posted another blog regarding the SCMSync or SCM or Git workflow. I'll just call it Git workflow in the future.

https://uncomfyhalomacro.pl/blog/202507192430

This post includes how I update the biome package. This post is easier to follow for those who are new to the workflow or about to get into when packaging in openSUSE. I do have a video before for updating harelang https://youtu.be/xuWjOK7X1SY but it is a 30 minute video so I prefer you read the post.

are there any good news for the git workflow for OpenBuildService? like docs and stuff? I have packages that I haven't updated for a long while because I am confused that it didn't work.
