Hi all, [CC'd to Derrick Brashear from openafs.org, I just hope not to end up in his SPAM-dump] sorry for the long silence about the openafs-package on the opensuse-buildservice list... I'd really like to tie the opensuse-build to the official openafs distribution. For this to happen we need some build-system- and repository- dependent spec-file, because the spec-file for fedora looks quite different from that of SLES9. I know, in OBS you can use different spec files for each repository, but this approach does not scale (I have already 4 of those in my normal SuSE-only package). I see two possibilities for a differentiated approach: 1) make the buildsystem call a script messing up the spec file before the actual build starts. 2) use of predefined macro-files. I guess something like that will help a few projects, but the question is how to define a script-/macro-name to be widely useful. Anyway, either way requires changes to the build-system. Way 2) is closer to rpm, but then the provided macros need to reflect other macros provided silently by the build system. Way number 1) is build-system agnostic and _could_ also be used to brigde the gap between .rpm and .deb Thus, I'd vote for way 1). Any comments ? Whatever the outcome I'm happy to make something like this happen and to document it :-) T/Christof --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
