To compile a package in my OBS project I need a -devel package from the oss repo. How is that possible?
oss is a product.

you should have all packages already. oss is just one product build based on it.
Technically, we have name-clashes here: http://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories#Official_repositories says, that http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/ is a repository. The above syntax suggests, that you can put a repository name after repository=... this is a completly different thing which happens to go by the same name. The build service is full of such misnomers: Platform, Repository, Distribution, Project, ... are often used and often confused here. openSUSE_11.1 and openSUS:11.4 try to make a difference, but users seeing them both as 'repository name=openSUSE_11.4' and repository=openSUSE:11.4 in the above xml structure, would associate them both with 'Repository'. whenever the project name would be identical to the repository name,
The biggest problem with OBS in my experience is that efficient work is not possible because documentation is so absent.
Feel free to join the book writing approach. I blogged about it.
The documentation would need to begin with sound definitions of terminology, and then admit inconsistencies and explain how confusing it is being used. Having understood this, one would ask for some mappings between projects, platforms and repositories.
