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 ?
