[opensuse-buildservice] opensuse build service repositories and mandrivia?

I remember that there used to be a problem with mandrivia not recognizing OBS reposotories. Has this been fixed? Is it a problem with OBS or Mandrivia? Thank You. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

It's still a problem with Mandriva; their urpmi tools can only read hdlist, not the standard repodata format, which is used with obs. I remember a patch or some talk about hdlist generation implementation into obs, but that was a bit back, wonder if that finished? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Hi, Yes, I started porting the needed tools, but I have become stuck on one package which will not compile on openSUSE or SLES. It is a small perl app which works with rpm libs. Calling all perl/rpm internal gurus. Cheers, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
