[opensuse-buildservice] Thoughts about OBS
All, I'm now working with the OBS for some time. First of all I like it a lot. But I was wondering about the few things that could make it even better in my eyes. 1) When I change/add/remove a the building process starts automatically. I think it's wasting the resources quite a bit. I would prefer that I can also control the build process myself (So it will only run when it's really needed). And maybe that auto build process starts when one has logged out. 2) I have a few projects in my build "Home Project" that would easely also build for Fedora, Mandriva, Centos. But when i select these all packages in my "Home Project" will start to build for Fedora, Mandriva and Centos. Even the ones I know on the forehand will not work. Might it be possible to assign (extra) "Build Repositories" per package? 3) In the package view i have a show option for text files. It looks very nice. What i would like to have is a diff view like for instance viewvc and may even have cvs like functions to go back to a previous version? 4) When editing the file it would be nice to have a preferred template for the spec file at the side from which one can copy from. This way the spec files will be more uniform I think.

You can disable and enable the build of your project or package at any time. Either in web interface or via osc.

You can for example disable all repos, and just enable some per package.

Hm, this is maybe something for the template wizard, which is still in alpha phase. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
