I don't know the rules to add substitutes to the OBS. This one is pretty stupid, but I found a case where is useful. I am making mkvtoolnix "backports" creating a simple "link" from the Factory package. With openSUSE 10.3 there is no problem, but with 10.2 and 10.1 libmatroska-devel package doesn't exists... but all the dev files are available in the libmatroska package. In this case I can't put the libmatroska-devel BuildRequires inside an %if since I can't edit (so much) the spec file from a linked package.

Of course you can. Just fetch the original spec file, add the %if statements and make a diff between the original and the modified spec file. Upload the diff and add the following to your "_link" file: <patches> <apply name="<insert the name of the diff here>" /> </patches> Now the patch will be applied to the spec file before the build process starts. Btw. if you're building in your home project you can add the correct substitutes on your own (e.g. "osc meta prjconf -e <your-project>).

So libmatroska-devel->libmatroska in 10.1 and 10.2 is a good candidate for a substitute?

Well you can, see previous replies,

I see, I misunderstood the links patch system. I though you could only add patches to sources, no spec files. Rereading now seems pretty clear ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
