Hello folks!

I'm new to the build service. I have an apple PPC laptop with OpenSuse 10.3 and I just wish to compile packages fromthe build services that are already there only for the intel platforms. Do I need to start a new projet of my own each time or can I use the existing ones? I don't think I need to rewrite my own specs from scratch...

Thanks for any help,

luciano.

There is planned PPC support for the BuildService, however there is no clear timeline for it. So it is hard to say how long it takes to get that in place. So you might want to wait... or simply go ahead and set up your own build service instance. There are packages that you can use for that, and you would then have your own "worker" machine building PPC packages. However your build service instance wouldn't be connected to the "main" (openSUSE) build service, so you might need to copy sources forth and back by hand. (The 'osc copypac' functionality would help with that.) Hope this helps, Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
