Hi, I'd like to add support for Pardus to OBS. Pardus is not an RPM based distribution, it has its own package format and packaging tools. I've been digging around the internet, openSUSE portal and gitorious for a few days but I can't really find a documentation. So we have, OSC - the client OBS - the build service build - build script which builds RPM packages in a sandbox I'm planning to use the provided OBS appliances to add support for Pardus packages instead of preparing whole build-service related packages for Pardus from scratch. So the host will be an openSUSE OBS appliance for now, not Pardus.
From what I've understand, that OBS appliance should be able to build Pardus packages on its own. So I'll have to port the related tools and dependencies to that environment first. That's not a big issue, it's just preparing a few RPM packages and installing them over openSUSE.
The hard part is to teach the OBS how to build Pardus packages. Should I prepare a functionally equivalent build script for Pardus similar to what rests at: http://gitorious.org/opensuse/build/trees/master Finally, is the whole process of giving support for Pardus packages feasible? Is the build service and the lower layers are modular/flexible enough to add that support or will this be too invasive for a non-RPM distribution?
