upstream in the build service: GNOME:Apps:F-Spot. The goal is to let them easily ship packages for their stable and unstable branches, ideally for more than just openSUSE. If anybody wants to help make the packages build for distros != openSUSE, help is welcome.
Btw, I was wondering about that... Do we want to more actively help upstream with that? I'm sure it'd be relatively easy to find other upstream projects who'd love to get this set up, but they most probably need guidance initially, since they don't want to deal with packaging.
We do want to see upstream projects use OBS, so I welcome that kind of help!
My feeling is that once the packaging is correctly done for them, they generally can do the update without help, so that's really the first step which is difficult.
So, please help improving the documentation that next time you need to do less handholding ;)
It's really not about documentation. It's just that they don't want to do any packaging work, and the hard thing is that to convince upstream to use the build service, the killer feature is the "packages for many distro" one. Which needs some manual work (we don't have the same package names, we handle some things differently, etc.) (updating to a new version is generally easy since it's just adding the new tarball, bumping the version number, and that's generally enough) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help@opensuse.org
