Re: [opensuse-buildservice] Using package from another repository

I'm trying to build a new package, multisync-gui which requires -devel packages from the OpenSync repo. When I add those packages to BuildRequires I get an expansion error.

Is it possible to utilise those packages without linking them from the OpenSync repo into mine?

How about using the OpenSync as the base (instead of SUSE Linux X.Y). This will make sure to take the packages out of the OpenSync repo first and then fall back to SUSE Linux X.Y. But users will need to use the OpenSync repo, too, otherwise they will face broken dependencies. Regards Christoph
