I consider this as a web UI issue actually. It is really easy to link packages via the "create a source link" button. But it is way harder to see how you can reuse directly another package (via target modification or via the expert target add page.)
This is definitive something we need to improve. My first guess would be to add a generic "Add new package" wizard, which could offer the following items:
* Create own new source package. * Reuse packages from other project builds (this would need to modify the target definition later on) * Rebuild source from other project. (WARNING: will affect your quota) * Copy in build package from other project and republish it. (WARNING: will affect your quota)
okay, but I dislike the building against another project approach because a) it is hard to find (only via the extra long ultra hidden select box) b) it breaks deps for people who already use the repo c) it usually (by default) breaks the distro name (e.g. the new repository name is "standard", or the one you choose freely) -- RPMLINT information under http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
