1) You want to build a package against the native Java packages in SUSE 10.0 let's say. It took me about three days and 30 packages in the build service until I could start my real package work. So this one really hurt me (especially as Java packages are really no fun). But, well - if I wouldn't had the need to do this, I'd never had developed the "createpacfromsrcrpm" extension to osc. :)
if the packages in the dependency chain are missing than you have to provide them as regular packages anyway. i dont see the advantage here.
Sorry, but I don't understand that argument. I want to compile a package against /opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java. So I would like to add the binary packages from there as a sort of "build repository". In the same way as SUSE adds all the distro versions like Fedora Core, Debian etc. build won't need the Source RPM of java while building my RPM, but only the binary one. So why do I have to build Java first? It's actually not really a problem for me as I just added the needed 30 Java packages to my home repository finally. But it was definitely a waste of build server power, bandwith, storage and finally time... -- Bye, Gernot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
