Right. OBS can't "cross create" package build descriptions for different distros, even rpm based distros are different.
The funny thing about this is, that one idea was (when I remember correctly my chat with Adrian last year) that there is a plan to create something like this with xml written build description (not the build configurations for different distros on the obs server itself).
I could imagine that it is possible to do that. Finding out the similarities for a global xml package build description and handling the differences with different xml namespaces. Creating the different files for different build environments with xslt then is just a matter of time and testing ;) At least that would be a feature what I would like to see in the future, even thinking about Mark Shuttleworths talk during Akademy 2007 (Listen and Watch it here http://home.kde.org/~akademy07/videos/1-06-Keynote-Shuttleworth.ogg or to spare bandwidth you can find it as well on my server: http://www.sourcecode.de/public/files/1-06-Keynote-Shuttleworth.ogg)
Is this dead? http://en.opensuse.org/Abstract_Package_Build_Description
It was a Google SoC project, but it is not really usable yet. And it lacks someone who continues to work on it .. However, the idea to create build descriptions from a template set for all distrobutions does exist since a while and there where also approaches to implement it, but none of them is really usable yet AFAIK. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
