I think that if a packager wants to build packages for openSUSE a interactive build tool (IBT) should come up with something like this (more specific to read on opensuse-packaging soon):
You heard about the openSUSE Build Service ? I think almost everything you mentioned is there or is planned ...
may I state than beeing quite involved here, having made some (even hex) programming, using quite often to compile my packages and having written part of a course on LDP 101 (junior admin) I still don't know what this build service is about? may be somebody could take some time to explain to non programmers what this is going to do? for example, I understand very well (I guess :-) what the Sourceforge compile farm is, but what the heck is the suse build service? I see the ending point is a rpm or deb file :-), but what is the way from my one page php script to this rpm through the build service? (I could do myself by hand on 2/3 hours, I hope :-) what advantages? let's beg you have XEN farms? but then? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
