Hi, What is the easiest / recommended method for getting at a package in universe for building ubuntu packages using obs? The xerces-c XML parser gives expansion errors if attempts are made to build for ubuntu 7,10 http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/libxerces27 For Fedora 7 updates its somewhat easy to create a subproject, rpm2cpio the src.rpm from F7 updates and import it into the subproject. Have obs rebuild the package as it would be in updates. Then make a dependency on that subproject from the F7 repo on my main obs project. I'm not quite up to speed with how to suck in a package from the debian sources though... I suspect that the universe / updates for "distro-other-than-novell" issue would bite many others too.
