Hi, Marcus Hüwe and me have been working on putting together a combined version of: - OBS cross-build - OBS Download on Demand There is a Wiki Concept Page now: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/CrossDevelopment. The packages to download for qemu/OBS are inside the project openSUSE:Tools:Devel/obs-all-cross and qemu-svn+gcc3. Download on Demand is an own feature, which allows you very similiar to the remote OBS feature to use the Packages from an ftp/http server without completely downloading it. Whats even more interesting with that is that it generates the meta data from the original Deb/Rpmmd data. How to use it is described in the above Wiki page. Also, the qemu is now sufficiently fixed (more testing for other archs underway) so that it can run at least for ARM architectures the build environment to up to date distros like Debian:Lenny or even Debian:Sid (which use current gcc/glibc - Lenny will be released this year). If you need the meta prjconf those distros (which are different from Debian:Etch), drop me an e-mail. One of the next steps would be to bootstrap an openSUSE Release for ARM. Be aware that there is a known bug inside download on demand which can result in continued package rebuilds. Restarting the scheduler after such an "loop" fixes the problem. We are already working on that. Regards, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
