Dear Martin, did you look at the libace source package ?? If yes, how did you arrive at the import number of 3 source packages ?? When I tried the solution 1, I stopped to go further when I realized that I need to import more that 5 source packages. So, where did come out your calculation ?? And, I disagree with you that the number of built binary packages does not matter for OBS, because on the mailing list I read a lot of messages about the waste of space, the waste of resources and so on. And every time, the administrators instructs users to minimize the use of resources. And hence, the solution 1 is definitely a waste of resources because the source packages that I need to import will build dozen of binary packages when I just need one of those and the others will be unused but they will be built wasting resources. I think that the best solution is to allow the installation of binary .deb packages as additional dependencies before the building process start. I think that if this features will be added to the OBS system (for .deb and for .rpm) the problem that I have can be solved with the minimum resource use. Regards, Gianluca.

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
The number of built binary packages does not matter for OBS. Also any build depend, which is not from universe, does not matter.
You only have to import 3 source packages.
