I think the build service documentation is lacking a lot (comprehensive howtos for instance), but asking on the -packaging list usually gets you going. There are also some good blogs out there. Familiarizing oneself with the spec file syntax is just something one has to do.
Hi Per; Would you please post us a few of those blogs to help folks getting started?
Hi Tom
sure, I should have added them in my first post.
I was initially referred to this one, which although not exactly a howto, did help me with my first steps with OBS:
http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/06/20/opensuse-factory-fixing-packages
I don't have any other links handy, but I know I've come across one or two other blogs which were helpful. There are also guides/references to the osc (the command line interface) and the web-ditto. Due to the SOPA sillyness today, I can't access most/all of the other openSUSE pages. :-)
Thanks Per. Yeah, the SOPA/PIPA is worrisome to many of us and we're doing what we can to kill it or at least get it modified to be less invasive to users.
