I know it is optional. But why do some images in a project have such a link, and other do not? https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ojkastl_buildservice:/CloudImages/images/ There is one called openSUSE-Tumbleweed-OpenStack.x86_64.qcow2, but no such static link for the other two images? Is this something that needs to be activated inside the image definition? >> ##################################### > 2.

OK, I thought it was some kind of kiwi-on-OBS special voodoo that triggers some special behaviour in the background.

Andrian, sorry, but that is general knowledge. ;-) I was just wondering if there was any sense in adding a Leap15 build target for Leap15 images, if the image is the only thing in the package and is only built against the images build target, but not against the Leap15 target... >> ##################################### > 3.

OK, I'll have a deeper look into why this was necessary in my little project. Or if this was a temporary hiccup and is no longer necessary now.
