Thanks Amilcar, good to see that it's possible :) The news link doesn't work for me but I saw your project files. So suffixing your sources with the platform (-xUbuntu_8.04) is enough for OBS or do you script it somewhere (I looked around but didn't find it) ?

sure, I just though that OBS could have some extended syntax .. and I haven't found any way to set soft dependencies in a control file.

any thoughts on how to handle this issue ?

Yes, I handle it in KDevelop

Here you can see how I drive the build service to it's limit. So far I'm the only user that I know of that does this kind of stuff. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=KDevelop3&project=home%3...
