Hi,

I have some prepared packages (i.e. specfile & tarball) that build OK

Now I'd like to add them to an OBS project. When I use

osc meta pkg -e project-name package-name,

I'm asked to fill in the package title and description. Couldn't this step be
avoided as the description and title are already available in the package
specfile?

While we're at it: and the URL too, please? :)

Or am I simply supposed to copy & paste it? (BTW what takes
precedence - specfile metadata of 'obs metadata') ?

To my knowledge they are separate - the spec file metadata is used for the RPM
packages, while the obs metadata is used for the presentation on the build
service web pages. But I may be wrong...

Bye,
LenZ
