Besides the fact that they don't easily install and did not install under 11.4 and have not installed under 12.1. Apparently I don't have the correct extra -required- proprietary information needed to build those packages.
That's violates the GPL.
This suggests that SuSE wants to control and oversee what people do with openSuSE. With each new release of OpenSuSE, it becomes increasingly difficult to do local builds, even with all the required devel packages installed. OBS is not acceptable for devel work or for non-public code. There are things that people want to do that are nobody else's business at all.
jd Hi Please just reply to the list thanks :)
Using osc and kvm for local builds means I don't have to pollute my system with unnecessary development files, it means I can build on one system for any arch, any system. I can collaborate with updates much better etc, so many advantages over plain old rpmbuild... I build non public code all the time, they just don't exist on the open build service. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 3.0.34-0.7-default up 6 days 16:47, 3 users, load average: 0.51, 0.40, 0.38 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
