Dear All, I'm still struggling to find a solution to build my package that depends for building on others packages that are in the universe ubuntu repository. So, again, I'm desperately asking a feasible solution to any other users encounter my same problem... and also, I'm wondering if the administrations may take in consideration to include the universe repository. This is a short summary of my adventure :-) : - I'm building a package named yarp that depends on libace - libace is into the universe ubuntu repository - universe ubuntu repository is not included into the OBS service - I'm trying to find a way to fullfill the dependency to build my package - the solution I tryied are: 1) download the source package of libace, build it into the OBS without publish it 2) try to fullfill the dependency taking the package from the Debian repository (where libace is into the standard repository) 3) try to install the .deb binary package during the execution of debian.rules before the build All these solution failed for the following reasons: 1) the source package of libace generate about 20 binary packages and then for building it depends on other about 20 dev package and some of those are in the universe repository too !! This imply that I have to recursevily download a lot of source package and rebuild them into the OBS. That's absolutely silly and unfeasible 2) Debian and Ubuntu are incompatibles :-( 3) The dpkg command needs root access to install a .deb package even if I set the --root-dir to the home build directory Do you have in mind some other solution I can try ??
