No. If you link packages you are not copying code. That is not how the openSUSE build service work. If you link packages from factory to your OBS_SLE_10 repo, you are just rebuilding them, and they get updated as soon as the source package is updated.
I had a link to a specific source revision in mind, because that's the only way you can be sure no incompatible update will kill you, and that was one of the discussions I've had. So if a project like ruby was comitted to create a new package if incompatible changes come (like rails-1, then rails-2), even in that case, the package rebuilt as many times as there are links to it. IMNSHO explicitely linking in these base packages is a work-around for the point I'm trying to make: How do we want to interconnect projects? btw, for the time being we'll link in the missing packages. have to ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
