L A has been trying to build rpm program or libraries that can be installed on that system and tha can cope with that new format, but failed. There is a bugzilla about it.
Part of the problem is people telling to use OBS and L A refusing for privacy or enterprise reasons, and rebuilding the rpm from published rpm source code seems to be impossible, unless done at the OBS, which is external to L A.
One can always build locally against OBS repos.
Arguably much more complex that rpmbuild command :-?
More complex in the backend, but for openSUSE packages far simpler in terms of the effort that a user needs to go to in order to do it.
Certainly. OBS is easier on the maintainer, no doubt. After a learning curve. But not for someone doing spot builds, for whatever reasons - say, machines isolated from internet for privacy or security. It is just an opinion, a layman opinion perhaps, but I think the source rpms should be enough to re-build any package, they should work. Otherwise, I have my doubts we are "providing the source code" as per the free code licenses. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
