Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 15:37:48 +0100 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============0323639650470243979==" --===============0323639650470243979== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sometimes you have appA in your repo building for both old and new openSUSE versions. appA depends on libA > X, but only the latest openSUSE version provides it. openSUSE came with libA . The solution is to package libA > X for the old distributions and usually you do that linking to the devel project. I would like an openSUSE:Current project that would always contains the latest supported version of the packages. Right now the packages from openSUSE:12.1:Update, but once 12.2 is released it should be changed to openSUSE:12.2:Update. This way I could link to those packages instead of linking to the devel project. It would let me compile appA in old distros while giving to the users a libA package that is not soooooo unsupported (this would be officially unsupported anyway, but...). I would like this since it's a single place to change when a new openSUSE version is released (If needed I can do it). Looking at the openSUSE:12.1:Update project metadata I guess it would just need be something like Current version of openSUSE But I'm not sure since I never really saw a doc explaining the meaning of in the *project metadata*, only in _link files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner(a)opensuse.org --===============0323639650470243979==--
