Yep, that sounds perfect Sounds like a unpractical and cumbersome solution to me. Maybe I am missing something, but why not enable 'universe' (as an option) as default? Just as Adrian said, currently we're not allowed to host _all_ content that is in Ubuntu's universe/multiverse repositories, mainly due to license and patent issues. That's essentially the same reason why we're not hosting rpmfusion for Fedora.
Until the OBS is hostet in a country where this doesn't matter we're bound to german law. I understand that multiverse is a problem. But why universe, that is all free software. The last time I checked it contained definitive some packages part of our black list (containg ffmpeg inside of the application and so on).
ALso, it was a moving target. I will not import such a repo binary wise, because I would need permanently updating it. Adrian,
What about allowing the worker to download build requirements from external sources?
builds would not be reproducable. The value of OBS would not be given.
Will it be also illegal if you will not provide problematic packages just allow to build using them?
since you would be also able to download them via api.o.o, yes.
This will also solve the problem with other distributions needs. I was asking to add EPEL repositories few times but it ended in nowhere probably for same reasons:
- legal problems
- need to maintain frequently changed binary repositories
