Feature changed by: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) Feature #305689, revision 5 Title: Allow creation of meta-repositories Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Magnus Boman (mboman) Description: It'd be extremely useful if it was possible to create meta-repositories in OBS. The way it would work, is that anyone could create a project in OBS, and from there, include several other projects to combine them in one meta-repository. It is kind of possible today if one use _links or _aggregate, but that either forces the entire repo to be built in the users own project, or requires a lot of disk space. A meta-repository would basically only create symlinks to the other projects (would not require any extra disk space, nor OBS resources for re-compiling everything in a "new" project) Discussion: #1: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) (2009-01-17 04:44:22) I guess that's related to the "Services" concept Duncan describes in his blog: http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/351 + #2: Pascal Bleser (pbleser) (2009-03-02 08:35:31) + Sort of. Duncan mentions an implementation of another metadata format + that includes a list of repositories. + Using symlinks (or hard links) to generate repositories in OBS wouldn't + require any changes to the package management stack, as well as being + compatible with others (such as smart). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305689
