Stephen, Thanks for the prompt reply, can you direct me to that link? As far as subpixel hinting is concerned, if it violates patents...I'll remove it.
Regards Anshul --
Here is a link about the subpixel hinting stuff - http://opensuse-community.org/SubpixelHinting
As for the linking to other packages in other projects: Under the list of your current packages in your project (about the middle of the screen), there are 2 links. One is to add a new package, [Add Package], and the second is to link to another package in another project, [Link Package from other Project]. Once you click on it, you will see 3 boxes. The first one is the name of the project that you want to connect to, the second is the name of the package, and the third I usually leave blank, but its for if you want to name it differently in your local project.

Stephen, I found the right place to link the file, however...I couldn't quite add autoconf213 which is present in this link:- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.0/noarch/autco.......
I tried adding "mozilla" and even "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.0/" into the 1st line...and in the 2nd line I added the file name...autoconf.xxx. It still won't take..any suggestions?

What you need is the build service project name. Its probably something like Mozilla.
Stephen
It could be "Mozilla", "mozilla" or "mozilla/openSUSE_11.0"...neither of them works..
-Anshul
the project name is (first box): mozilla
the package is(second box): autoconf213
That worked for my project.
Stephen
Thanks...that worked :) Now to check if the system-cairo enabled xulrunner for mozilla will build against the autconf213 rpm.
