However, the two spec files are slightly different, because apache2 is called httpd in Fedora, and uses somewhat different config structure.

Is it possible to use different spec files for different repositories within a OBS (sub)project/package? Or do I need to create separate subprojects for each repository, and copy all of the dependencies to each of the subprojects?

HTH, Srinidhi.

If the specfiles are mostly similar, use %if statements to make the minor adjustments needed between distros. Here's a couple sample %if statements. %if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1210 .... %endif %if 0%{?sles_version} >= 11 .... %endif If the result is just too messy, then Srindhi's reply is one way to do it, or you can follow the kernel example. Look at all the specfiles in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Kernel:stable/kernel-vanilla The question is how do they take advantage of all those specfiles. First the normal specfile naming rule is, for project AAAA the normal specfile must be named AAAA.spec. If you inadvertently name your specfile AAAB.spec it won't be seen by the buildsystem and it won't build a RPM. Thus in the kernel-vanilla package most of those specfiles are ignored. But, you can take advantage of that by having 2 linked packages AAAA and BBBB. Then you have 2 specfiles: AAAA.spec and BBBB.spec. The package named AAAA will build with specfile AAAA.spec. The package named BBBB will build with BBBB.spec. Thus if you look at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Kernel:stable you will see that for each specfile there is a separate package with the corresponding name. Each of those packages uses one of the specfiles found in kernel-vanilla. All of those packages are linked together so based on the name of each of the linked packages, OBS uses the corresponding specfile. This is the command line sequence used to create a set of linked kernel packages in your home project osc linkpac openSUSE:11.3 kernel-source home:$login for p in kernel-{default,desktop,pae,xen,vanilla,syms}; do osc linkpac -C copy home:$login kernel-source home:$login $p done

From there you can figure out the rest.
