Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #309023, revision 6 Title: Checkout from External Repositories and Packaging - Buildservice: Evaluation + Buildservice: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Description: I'd like to see a way to setup packages that they checkout automatically from remote repositories (methods: svn, cvs, git, bazar) and build the package. For building a spec file that is part of the remote repository can be used. This will make it easy to connect to upstream projects and build packages for them. Discussion: #1: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-19 11:33:37) * source service plugin is missing for that * We should also have a feature which alows us to keep the source history short to avoid an size explosion of our source repo. + #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-09-03 14:26:02) + I wrote some basic source services for: + * checkout or update from svn or git and package a tar + * recompress files (like the former created tar ball) + * extract files from archives like tar or zip. + spec file generation is out of the focus for this feature, we would + need individual ones for each build type. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309023
