if I have the BuildRequires packages present in my project will they be the packages used in the build?
Not by default. By default the BuildRequires packages are used from what is defined to be the build repository for the package.
But the packages from the same project are always used by default (except someone disable "useforbuild" and calls wipebinaries).
This default confuses me because - as far as I understand it - it means that when there is a whatever kind of broken package in a development project (here "broken" means it builds but does not work as it should) other packages in the development project may become also broken.
This default means for development projects that all the packages therein must be kept "in sync" (in particular regarding backward compatibility). Otherwise with this default it is not possible to safely try out something for one package in a development project without the risk to cause bad side-effects for other packages therein.
I do not exactly understand what you mean here. But yes, the idea of the development projects is that you test packages, which belong together. So you can verify what your package is breaking and can fix the other ones as well. This leads hopefully to the situation that the breakage does not appear in openSUSE:Factory the first time. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
