"osc build" builds the package locally on your machine. There is no violation of the GPL, the GPL actually requires the tools the vendor uses to build the package, and that is what openSUSE provides. "osc build" sets up a chroot build environment locally on your machine, similar in most respects to the old build.rpm package
In upgrading to 12.1, I'm running into worse compatibility problems -- I can no longer download tars for packages from the internet, and run "configure" and Make and expect it to work on a openSUSE system.
I have never seen any such problem. Is this the one where you ran things with env -i, expecting things to work with an empty environment? I build things all the time and I have never seen an issue, nor have I heard of any such bug reports Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
