Hello,
Why is the 'universe' repository for Ubuntu not available in OBS?
It seems that at the beginning you (OBS developers/maintainers/sysadmins) thought 'universe' was a moving target but Vincent Untz quickly corrected that misunderstanding.

Many essential packages are in universe, which makes very difficult to build Ubuntu packages in OBS. Examples of widely used libraries which are only available in Universe: Boost, Apache Portable Runtime (APR), FastCGI, libpng until Ubuntu 9.04, Rails, etc
Having to build every 'universe' package I need is a nightmare. Please, add 'universe' to OBS.

I would like to express the same sentiment for Mandriva contrib which has an even greater number of packages -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
