Dear List,
I just received my OBS account confirmation and try now building an example
package. Since it was wasked to introduce myself to the list here some
information:
I'm a small Fedora package maintaining the three packages ktorrent,
speedcrunch and rsibreak. While I do use Fedora mainly in these days I have a
long (Open)Suse history: I wrote several howtos, bug reports and reviews, was
present in some forums, helped with localized wikis and so on.
The reason I joined the OBS is that it might be the best existing solution for
spreading software in the Linux world. Therefore I wanted to test if it fits
to the needs I would have in this regard (how difficult is it to build for
more than one distribution, etc.).
The golden long term goal is to check if OBS could really be a solution for
normal software developers to spread their software.
To test this I will try to rebuild my three precious packages mentioned above
for different distributions. In this regard I will also try to keep an eye on
the build environment difference of Fedora and OBS - like what to do with the
build Fedora rpm spec scriptlets [1], etc.
Of course this is not to provide these packages in real - all bigger
distributions already have native builds. But it is to collect experiences.
I will also try to spread the word about OBS by blogging about my experiences.
Since my blog [2] is shown at planet Fedora I hope that more Fedora people
have a look at the OBS. I'm sure there is room for cooperation.
So far, feel free to ask if you have further questions.
