Product ISO from a DOD / External repo
Hi List, Could you please help me understand if it's possible to build a Product ISO by consuming the RPMs from an external DOD repo in Build Service? We can currently build RPMs with DOD, but I'm specifically inquiring about building a product ISO. Presently, we are building with the content available locally in our instance. Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Rahul

no. The reason is that exported repositories do not necessarly provide all necessary data and the product building works on the build results directly. Not on the exported repositories.

Is there any way we could write in needed metadata from a remote registry repo without downloading them locally? What are our options to produce a product ISO? Any pointers would help. -Rahul
Rahul, Have you tried using a KIWI profile to refer to the corresponding OBS projects and build an ISO? See this one for example: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:emendonca:kiwi-tcc/TCC This is a web kiosk. In our customer's private OBS, I'd just add a reference to their QT application package name and refer to the internal project containing it.

The DoD support is doing this: https://openbuildservice.org/help/manuals/obs-user-guide/cha-obs-concepts#co...

however, product building can only work based on binaries build inside of your OBS instance. It won't work based on DoD repositories as they are not complete. However, it should work based on projects you are using via OBS interconnect. -- Adrian Schroeter <adrian@suse.de> Build Infrastructure Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, 90461 Nürnberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev
Hmm, why pbuild is there? Wondering, If pbuild can help here? Actually, I have tried pbuild and was able to build packages in projects and fetch my package dependencies. -Rahul

pbuild has not yet support for product builds. It could be added though, it is just a bit of work ;)

sure, it might be a way to go, but then again, if you rebuild anyway everything, you could also use OBS. -- Adrian Schroeter <adrian@suse.de> Build Infrastructure Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, 90461 Nürnberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev
