openSUSE Commander (osc) is a command-line interface to the Open Build Service (OBS).
RPM packages are available in the openSUSE:Tools repository.
zypper addrepo --repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/openSUSE:Tools.repo
zypper install osc
Unstable RPM packages are available in the OBS:Server:Unstable repository.
zypper addrepo --repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OBS:/Server:/Unstable/openSUSE_Factory/OBS:Server:Unstable.repo
zypper install osc
To install from git, do
./setup.py build
./setup.py install
Alternatively, you can directly use ./osc-wrapper.py from the source directory,
which is easier if you develop on osc.
When you use osc for the first time, it will ask you for your username and
password, and store it in ~/.config/osc/oscrc.
Osc can store passwords in keyrings instead of ~/.config/osc/oscrc.
To use them, you need python3-keyring with a backend of your choice installed:
- kwalletd5 (A pasword manager for KDE)
- secrets (A password manager for GNOME)
- python3-keyring-keyutils (A python-keyring backend for the kernel keyring)
If you want to switch to using a keyring you need to delete apiurl section
from ~/.config/osc/oscrc and you will be asked for credentials again,
which will be then stored in the keyring application.
For more details please check the openSUSE wiki.
To list existing content on the server
osc ls # list projects
osc ls Apache # list packages in a project
osc ls Apache subversion # list files of package of a project
Check out content
osc co Apache # entire project
osc co Apache subversion # a package
osc co Apache subversion foo # single file
Update a working copy
osc up
osc up [pac_dir] # update a single package by its path
osc up * # from within a project dir, update all packages
osc up # from within a project dir, update all packages
# AND check out all newly added packages
If an update can't be merged automatically, a file is in C (conflict)
state, and conflicts are marked with special <<<<<<< and >>>>>>> lines.
After manually resolving the problem, use
osc resolved foo
Upload change content
osc ci # current dir
osc ci <dir>
osc ci file1 file2 ...
Show the status (which files have been changed locally)
osc st
osc st <directory>
osc st file1 file2 ...
Mark files to be added or removed on the next 'checkin'
osc add file1 file2 ...
osc rm file1 file2 ...
Adds all new files in local copy and removes all disappeared files
osc addremove
Generates a diff, to view the changes
osc diff # current dir
osc diff file1 file2 ...
Shows the build results of the package
osc results
osc results [repository]
Shows the log file of a package (you need to be inside a package directory)
osc log <repository> <arch>
Shows the URLs of .repo files which are packages sources for Yum/YaST/smart
osc repourls [dir]
Triggers a package rebuild for all repositories/architectures of a package
osc rebuildpac [dir]
Shows available repository/build targets
osc repository
Shows the configured repository/build targets of a project
osc repository <project>
Shows meta information
osc meta Apache
osc meta Apache subversion
osc id username
Edit meta information (Creates new package/project if it doesn't exist)
osc editmeta Apache
osc editmeta Apache subversion
Update package meta data with metadata taken from spec file
osc updatepacmetafromspec <dir>
There are other commands, which you may not need (they may be useful in scripts)
osc repos
osc buildconfig
osc buildinfo
Locally build a package (see 'osc help build' for more info)
osc build <repo> <arch> specfile [--clean|--noinit]
Update a package to a different sources (directory foo_package_source)
cp -a foo_package_source foo
cd foo
osc init <prj> <pac>
osc addremove
osc ci
cd $OLDPWD
rm -r foo
Report issues or submit pull-requests to the osc project on GitHub.
Unit tests can be run from a git checkout by executing
