Hi Paul,
I am planning to do a presentation to my local LUG
(Austin Linux Group)
on using OpenSuSE build service.
That's great!
I plan to show how a small developer can use build
service to
develop and publish packages for many different distributions and
archetectures.
What are "small developers" ;-) ?
Build Service experts! Is there any thing that I
should be sure
to mention?
Yes, I think one of the things people should really realise is: What
is the buildservice actually really for? For example, it does not
do the source handling, it does not host the webpage (that is what
sourceforge is about) but it compiles for lots of repos in the
sense of "base distros" like opensuse x.x, fedora_x etc.
But moreover there is the change to change existing packages using
linking on a source basis. That gives IMO possibilities which are
unique nowadays.
If time is left, you could discuss with the LUG which features
and possibilies the people see for the future of the BS. Please
report back :-)
Is there any chance that one of the biuld service experts
would want to come to austin to give such a presentation
personally?
Hmm, I fear it would be quite expensive for us to come over
for one talk :-(
Have fun,
Klaas
