Hi, that is quite easy now: you can expand and unexpand the packages into two formats now: - _link + "diffs" - expanded format, e.g. _link + diff will be expanded to the resulting packages osc up -u "unexpands" to _link + diff, osc up -e expands to the resulting full source. The expanded format is also easier for you to edit, and to change and then commit. Try yourself: generate pkg with _link osc up -e edit inside osc build "local build" osc ci osc up -u Cheers, Martin Archie Cobbs wrote:

I want to build a '_link' package locally. 'osc build' doesn't work because it expects to find a spec file (none exists).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks, -Archie

expand the _link with osc up -e (osc up -e = update and expand links) On Fri, 2008-07-25 at 13:35 -0500, Archie Cobbs wrote:
