Hi,
during the last hackweek I worked on the obs so that it is able to resolve dependencies using metadata and that it download certain packages on demand.
What and Why: If you install a local obs you have to setup the initial distributions. If you want to build against a distribution like openSUSE which is already part of the "official" obs you can use the remoteurl feature. In case your preferred distribution isn't hosted on the "official" obs you have to setup the base distributions on your own. The first step is that you have download the complete package tree. IMHO it is really annyoing to download _lots_ of GBs if you just want to test something. Another reason why I did it is that I wanted to get some more knowledge about the backend:) So during the hackweek I implemented something which just downloads the required packages on demand (precondition: the backend needs access to the internet).
cool stuff. We may can deliver our packages of OBS with some preconfigured projects using this feature. It makes sense esp. for frequently changing repos. Do you have an "is up 2 date" check inside ? I would like to see support for rp-md repos before of course ;) (esp. for Packman) 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
