[opensuse-factory] using other projects for build
Hi, Is there an easy way to use packages from another project to build our own? I mean, without branching the necessary packages from the other repository (which works, but takes a lot of time, especially for big packages, like rust). Reading the documentation I thought, that linking projects might be used for this: <link project="devel:languages:rust"/> But BuildRequires anything from the other project did not work.

Is, you can define patch to needed repository in repositories (
advanced -> meta tab of repo ):
<repository name="openSUSE_Factory_ARM">
<path project="openSUSE:Factory:ARM" repository="standard"/>

Hi Peter, For one: this is a question for -buildsrvice, not -factory. On Wed, 2016-07-20 at 08:58 +0200, Peter Czanik wrote:

project linking sounds indeed right, but this is probably a huge
overkill, as it rebuilds everything in this project in your project
again (and I mean everything, no control over it)
If it's only build dependencies, you cann add devel:languages:rust as
an additional

You can add other repositories to use packages from in your project's prj file (osc meta -e prj), e.g. I have ... <repository name="openSUSE_13.1"> <path project="home:mkubecek:firebird30" repository="openSUSE_13.1"/> <path project="openSUSE:13.1" repository="standard"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> ... in the prj file of home:mkubecek:private so that packages from home:mkubecek:firebird30 are used for build (and even preferred over those from openSUSE:13.1 - the order matters here). But remember that this will allow using _any_ package from that repository. I'm not sure if there is a way to allow using only one particular package (or few of them) from another project.

That can be done with an aggregate.

By adding the other project's repository to the repository path. <path project="..." repository="..."/>
Reading the documentation I thought, that linking projects might be used for this:
<link project="devel:languages:rust"/> But BuildRequires anything from the other project did not work.
That does nothing unless you add a linkedbuild attribute to a repository description and is used for importing source packages.
