Have a look at the openSUSE:11.2 and openSUSE:Factory projects, they are used to build our distribution. Esp in the "_product" package.
A bit more documentation about that is here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/Product_Definition
So you use the buildservice the same as with packaging? e.g. you build the distribution image on the buildservice (not on your local pc)?
As with rpm building, you can do it on server or local workstation. but the official ones are built on the server of course (also to get the correct signing).
It's also possible to build Ubuntu images? Live, alternate, with installer?
So far kiwi (which is used) is not supporting this.
But I hear people did make some ubuntu based distro's with the buildservice? This info seems contradictional...
They build all packages including the base packages (which means they bootstrap an entire .deb based distro package wise).
but they don't use the product building features of OBS.
There are also tools in Debian/Ubuntu itself, like 'livehelper'. Is it possible in some way to use this tool on the opensuse buildservice?
maybe
Now I need to build an image locally, and having not an amd64 that is an issue... Would be nice if you could build images using livehelper on opensuse-buildservice, but I have not the technical knowledge to see if and how this could be possible. I think the opensuse-buildservice devs should make contact with the livehelper devs to find this out.... http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/
Sorry, we won't invest time here. If anyone want to add support for this it is fine, but we have absolute no time for this. And it would be much cleaner to extent kiwi for this btw. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
