Cool project, thanks for continuing that :-) Would it be possible to get rid of the dot files with OBS metadata somehow? Feels ugly :-) Maybe a tag could be used instead?
and wouldn't it be nice, if we could have packages in OBS without tarballs, with a reference to an upstream git repo and commit id?
Or just branch the upstream repo and add the packaging related changes on top. Some packages more or less already went that route. Eg. dracut: https://code.opensuse.org/package/dracut/blob/master/f/_service So for packages like that it would make sense to not mirror what's in OBS into code.o.o but rather use the repo listed in _servicedata directly. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)
