At the end of the https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_comparison wiki page is a comparison of build infrastructures, and in the column "package format", OBS is said to support - even if only experimentally - the "exe" package format.
A grep for zip\b or exe\b in the files of build.rpm does not yield any hint towards zip/exe generation, so where exactly may I find it? Having the actual program .exe in an .rpm is not too useful for Windows users??? (but using mingw works really well otherwise!).
there is no such support in build, but one could add it via a hook using
/usr/lib/build/checks/$script
mechanism. This could extract the exe file and store it as seperate build result in OTHER directory.
I have done this via spec: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:e9925248:mingw/mingw64-grandorg... A generic script is not able to find the useable parts. It is only useful to extract a installer, which also includes the DLLs and other resources. Currently, the exe-Files from OTHER are only available to registered OBS users. A drawback is, that without login, there is no indication, that you can download it after login.
The publisher would need a few more lines to support publishing of these .exe lines, but that can get added fast.
+1 for publishing such EXE to download.opensuse.org Zypper for Mingw would probably be the best solution. Otherwise, OBS should probably integrate something like that: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-mingw/2014-02/msg00000.html Regards, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
