Greetings,

I'm trying to move a piece of a large build tree into OBS.  It is not
possible in one step to move all of the large build tree into OBS.  

The piece that I'm trying to build in OBS has dependencies on bits
external to that code.

Is it possible to use rpms from the existing build to satisfy build
dependencies in OBS?

> From the docs, it looks like this is possible.  For example as
described in:
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_private_instance_boot_strapping

or perhaps creating a repo and using the "aggregate" or the "link"
feature, as described elsewhere.

I have created a local repository following the steps presented in the
above "private instance" reference. And the bs_admin --dump-cache does
show the packages of interest for the repository that I created (using
"private instance" reference).  It would seem that all that is left to
do is to add this repository to the list of distro repositories used
when building.

However, after a couple days working on this I have been unable to get
the build to find the required package.

(1) It would be very helpful to know that I'm headed in the correct
direction, and ...
(2) I would be very grateful for any suggestions as to what it is that I
might be missing.

Thanks,
Bob Haxo
