Hello, For the past months it's been really difficult to contribute to package updates since I only have time to help out on weekends. This boils down to commits going in to oS:F, and my pet project (GNOME:Factory) is basically always blocked waiting for oS:F to build. Trying to build a package locally, is not all that easy, as recently, osc tells me, more often than not, that it can't find a package on a mirror nor in OBS so the local build is aborted. Now, I understand that we want to rebuild packages etc, and I also understand that weekends are the most appropriate time to this. The way OBS rebuilds packages seems a little bit paranoid to me though and I would like to ask the question if we can do it better. So, this is the workflow (AFAIK): 1. I branch a package from G:F, it ends up in my home and basically the content of it is a _link (since I have not changed anything yet) 2. I update the package and commit (now, I have a project.diff) 3. I submit the package to G:F 4. The package is accepted into G:F (G:F will now contain _link and project.diff, while the package in my home is back to being a _link) 5. The package is submitted from G:F to oS:F (and lets say accepted into oS:F). G:F will now be _link, and the package in my home is _link. In oS:F, it's all the files this package contains of Now, what will happen is: * When I do 1, OBS wants to build the package in my home * In step 4 (when package have been accepted), OBS will want to build the package in both my home and in G:F * In step 5, OBS will want to build the package in oS:F, G:F and my home My thinking: In this scenario, my home, G:F and oS:F all use the same build dependencies, so when a package is a _link, can't OBS just copy the content from the linked package instead of having to rebuild it completely in all these different places?
