Hello, I'm looking for people who'd be interested in testing a tool that helps packaging applications in the build service. If you have no experience with packaging, that's not an excuse but a perfect qualification :). Comments from people who do have experience are valued too. http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Build_Service/Cross-distro has a HOWTO explaining the process. It is not very extensive, it's right to the point, but I hope it's sufficient. In case there are problems, try consulting http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service or other wiki pages, or ask. I have packaged a couple of various KDE apps in home:llunak:kdetest, including the tool used for this itself, so it is possible to use those as a reference. There are no manual modifications to any of those packages besides providing INFO file if necessary. If you are interested, follow the HOWTO and try to package e.g. something from kde-apps.org or kde-look.org . I'd be especially interested in: - various build and packaging errors caused by the tool (there is also the possibility that the application tarball itself is broken) - wrong or missing mapping of package names (e.g. from the tarball to package names or between distributions) - any other problems that would hinder the usage of the tool for easy packaging of KDE apps Please mention the project and package name if you report any problems (report them simply as replies here). The tool is not perfect (nor can it be), so it is aimed to be used only for the initial package creation. It is possible to manually modify the generated files afterwards. I intend to create another tool to also help doing e.g. version updates.
