Hi,

the build service is supporting the storage of pattern files from now on.
Additionally it does create .ymp files for each repo from it.

.ymp files (read One-Click install files) are very usefull to make it easy for 
your users to install a set of packages.

We will also highlight ymp files in the new End-User interface comming to 
software.opensuse.org next week. This means, if a ymp file does match the 
user search request, it will be shown on top of the search list. Any other 
matches will come afterwards.

There is no need to create patterns just for one package, because the new 
End-User interface will create them on the fly when a user clicks on a 
package to install.

So, if you want to create also pattern files for your project, have a look 
here:

 http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service_Tutorial#Create_Patterns

Example pattern files can be also found in the KDE:KDE4 project, the resulting 
ymp files are here for example:

 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4/SUSE_Factory/

The api is validating your files on uploading, so have a deeper look on the 
output, if you get an error on uploading. But it is really easy to create 
patterns based on the example files.

happy to help you in case of trouble :)
