Hi folks, I don't know if this has been suggested before, but just in case - I'd like to propose a tutorial project in OBS. This would be a good accompaniment to the book and wiki. I've been looking for small programming examples to try packaging. I know most people who are packaging will be programmers and this won't be an issue, but I know of at least one sysadmin with minimal programming experience who did a good job with packaging software so I'm sure he won't be the only case. Darix and Bitshuffler kindly pointed me to some small projects on their home: repos in OBS so that I can have a manageable example to work with. When you're starting out you want a 'model' example with a nice, readable .spec file so everything makes sense. So I thought maybe someone would like to create a sample project home: with some accompanying notes, starting with something very small with easy to find tarball and correct spec file for RPM (and perhaps including some notes for DEB). Perhaps, someone might like to create a few projects that would give typical problems - WITH how to fix instructions! It's one thing to go and find documentation to fix a problem as you discover it, but most tutorials start off with easy problems first and gradually get harder! What do you think? I'm sure many people must have suitable little projects tucked away that would be perfect, they could just be copied to a suitably named directory. It would be an added bonus if there were any small simple programs that a student might find useful as a model. Well that's the rough idea, maybe you have a better way of implementing. (perhaps just a wiki page with links to suitable projects would do?) cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
