1) You want to build a package against the native Java packages in SUSE 10.0 let's say. It took me about three days and 30 packages in the build service until I could start my real package work. So this one really hurt me (especially as Java packages are really no fun). But, well - if I wouldn't had the need to do this, I'd never had developed the "createpacfromsrcrpm" extension to osc. :)
if the packages in the dependency chain are missing than you have to provide them as regular packages anyway. i dont see the advantage here.
2) You want to build a package which has a "legally problematic" package in the dependency chain. Think especially about Multimedia stuff. However, I'm not sure if adding binary RPMs could make the situation more clean in some way...
no. as the binary rpm is still a legal problem. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
