[opensuse-buildservice] Are updates for required packages included in a target?
Hi, What is the policy for updates when building for a target? E.g. when I build a package that requires openssl, will it be built against with the GA-shipped version of openssl or against the updated version of openssl. Is this different for the SLES targets, especially SLES9? Or do I have to add/link something additionally? If yes, how? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

By default, you build against the GA version. This is because building against the updated version may mean that your package would not work with the GA version anymore. By building against the GA version, your package should work with all ever released updates for this distro. The only exception, where binaries are incompatible is the kernel, because they always change incompatible with any commit (they miss use parts of the release tag as part of the package version actually).

normally a package built against the GA version, should work with any updated released later. there are a few packages where we cant hold that (clamav, php e.g.). for those you need to build against the update repositories. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
