[opensuse-buildservice] New project openSUSE:Current?
Sometimes you have appA in your repo building for both old and new openSUSE versions. appA depends on libA > X, but only the latest openSUSE version provides it. openSUSE <latest-1> came with libA <X-1>. The solution is to package libA > X for the old distributions and usually you do that linking to the devel project. I would like an openSUSE:Current project that would always contains the latest supported version of the packages. Right now the packages from openSUSE:12.1:Update, but once 12.2 is released it should be changed to openSUSE:12.2:Update. This way I could link to those packages instead of linking to the devel project. It would let me compile appA in old distros while giving to the users a libA package that is not soooooo unsupported (this would be officially unsupported anyway, but...). I would like this since it's a single place to change when a new openSUSE version is released (If needed I can do it). Looking at the openSUSE:12.1:Update project metadata I guess it would just need be something like <project name="openSUSE:Current"> <title>Current version of openSUSE</title> <description></description> <link project="openSUSE:12.1:Update"/> <debuginfo> <enable/> </debuginfo> </project> But I'm not sure since I never really saw a doc explaining the meaning of <link> in the *project metadata*, only in _link files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Pretty please?

It's still pointing to openSUSE:12.1:Update. Could you update it to point to openSUSE:12.2:Update? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Yes. BTW, on the matter of automatically changing prjmeta to auto-insert new repositories (such as openSUSE:12.3 when openSUSE:12.2) existed, Adrian has spoken against (on IRC): "I want to see if people really care about their stuff, so that unmaintained stuff do not creates build load anymore". I would interpret this to be a "no" on the openSUSE:Current idea for the same reason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
