Hi all,
my project (kubeplayer) needs th ruby json gem installed, which is available as rubygem-json in a foreign home repo, but not in the official repos of opensuse. How can I import this package to my repo to fullfil its dependency? Your project has enabled a certain amount of repositories (or 'distribution' targets) to build against, each points to a repository of another OBS project (also called 'paths' in OBS lingo). [1] explains how to add more, note that you can do that also in the webui.
Json belongs to the std libs from ruby 1.9.x on. I was really suprised, that a modern distro like opensuse still delivers ruby 1.8.x! Well, we do have 1.9.x, but it isn't as easy as you think. Packaging both 1.8 and 1.9 in parallel is a lot of work and there's a lot of gems out there that depend on 1.8.
