How are the distribution projects for Ubuntu (like Ubuntu:10.04) set up on build.opensuse.org? Of course, I see the project and raw configs, but the rest is unclear to me. I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu distribution project in a local OBS install to have locally for quicker access and avoid the intermittent but frequent proxy/latency issues we see when just pointing to distribution projects on build.opensuse.org. We can't use download on demand in this case, as we'd like to also have the ability to utilize updated packages from the -updates and -security Ubuntu repositories (e.g. precise-updates and precise-security), and the download on demand feature doesn't like it when repositories change at all. To do this, the instructions at http://gitorious.org/opensuse/build-service/blobs/master/dist/README.SETUP recommend (in section 4.2) copying the distribution project over from build.opensuse.org using obs_mirror_project and /srv/www/obs/api/script/import. However, I have an internal Ubuntu (non-OBS) mirror, so it really makes no sense to pull all these packages from outside. It's also unclear to me how to keep a deb-based distribution project up-to-date after the initial import. I've looked through the documentation (and done lots of web searches) for how to do this. The best I can find is to either use download on demand, just point to build.opensuse.org or just copy the distribution project from build.opensuse.org. As I said, though, none of those are good options for me. I've spent time looking through the OBS source, and it looks like bs_admin is what parses repositories for sourcing, but it doesn't necessarily seem to indicate how OBS wants me to set up the actual Ubuntu distribution project. I see that bs_srcserver seems to also do some of the work. I am not terribly familiar with the OBS source, so it's likely that I've missed something. I may also be incorrect in the assumption that OBS is parsing the Packages.gz file for a repository or expecting an ordinary apt repository. --Jared PS: This is my first post on this list or in this community, so please kindly point out to me if I'm not following the social expectations here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
