[opensuse] Developing for both SLES / openSuSE
Hi all, To my understanding (and I am seeking verification for this) Novell bases its official SLES/SLED distributions on openSuSE. Is the "codebase" for the official distributions a fork from some openSuSE version? In other words, does Novell take a snapshot of openSuSE version X to produce SLES Y? There reason I am asking, is because I would like to produce RPMs for both openSuSE and SLES and was wondering if I can use openSuSE for both. For instance, if SLES 10 SP1 is really openSuSE 10.1 with super polishing and support, I could use openSuSE 10.1 and have the same kernel symbols, C libraries, package names and dependencies, etc. Therefore I could build RPMs for SLES without having to pay for a license. Or is openSuSE entirely unrelated to Novell's official distros? Thanks. P.S. I did try web searches for things such as "openSuSE / SLES compatibility matrix" "SLES based on openSuSE" and found nothing. ___________________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!

AFAIK SLES10 is based on openSUSE 10.1, but they are not 100% compatible, which means you cannot build RPMs for SLES without having SLES installed. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

SLES 10 originally was based on SUSE Linux 10.1, but has deviated in the meantime. In your case I suggest building RPMs with the openSUSE buildservice, which offers both SLES and openSUSE distribituions fore building.

Hi, Check out http://build.opensuse.org where you can build RPMs for SLE, various openSUSE versions, as well as other distros such as Mandriva, RHEL, buntus, Fedoras, debian etc. SLE10 is based on SUSE Linux 10.1.
