Thanks for your response Philipp,

To confirm, yes my local instance is connected to opensuse.org Can I have my local obs connected with opensuse.org and at the same time create another project that tracks packages locally ?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "If you want to hold the project including the packages locally". Doesn't creating another project and adding rpm/deb manually mean that I'm holding the packages and and the project locally ?

If you want to binary import some packages, create some repo somewhere via osc or webui. Ideally in an empty project without sources

Afterwards, you can create the :full directory in

/srv/obs/build/$project/$repo/$arch/:full

and copy your binaries inside. Last, you need to tell the scheduler to scan it via

obs_admin --rescan-repository <project> <repository> <architecture>

If this new repo has the Ubuntu repo inside it's path, it is enough to build against your new repo in your projects.

Hi all,

I'm trying to build miro 6 for ubuntu 12.04 ubuntu 13.04 using my self hosted version of OBS. My self hosted version of OBS is 2.3.8.

The problem with miro is that it needs python-support which exists only in the ubuntu universe repositories.

Reading the opensuse buildservice mailing list I saw that you can't add ubuntu's universe to opensuse because of legal issues.

How can I add ubuntu universe to my self-hosted version of OBS ?

You interconnect your self-hosted OBS with the SUSE one, right? In this case you can't add RPMs to the repository because the rpms are directly downloaded from the SUSE OBS. I can provide you one (not the only?) solution. You create a project in your instance with prj information, prjconf and the packages in /srv/obs/build/$DISTRO/$ARCH/:full/ to build without the suse OBS interconnect. Here you can add the rpms/debs you wish. Maybe the most from an Install DVD and the additional packages from a repository (for ubuntu the universe repository). But you need a bit free space per distro. For example for Ubuntu you need about 10GB space (all packages twice for i586 and x86_64 arch).

If you want to hold the project including the packages locally, I'll answer you with the steps to do that.

Regards, Philipp
