Dear all, Currently we are investigating/evaluating a couple of building services (including the OpenSUSE building service) in order to select one that it is cover the needs for a institutional-level (and maybe more) package repository for scientific/academic purposes. The chosen service **will not** initially be used as a building service, but only to upload pre-packaged rpms and debs. After an evaluation period and based on our scientific community needs/requests we will decide if we will use this service as a package building medium or not. In this scope i would like to make some initial/high-level questions: 1. Can the OpenSUSE building service be used to upload pre-packaged rpms/debs? 2. Can the OpenSUSE building service be used also as a system for maintaining/managing a package repository? 3. Does the OpenSUSE building service authentication system supports x.509 digital certificates? Plus, 4. If we finally use your service as a building system: Does the service cooperates with subversion for source code? PS: if i post the email to an incorrect mailing list, please guide me on which is the correct/appropriate list for such queries. Many thanks in advance, M. -- ========================================================== Marios Chatziangelou IASA Grid Operations Center - Team Leader Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications Tel: +302107257533 Fax: +302107295069 Email: mhaggel@iasa.gr and WWW: http://www.iasa.gr ==========================================================
