Yes, exactly, I've always been hesitant just to duplicate the entire kde3 build tree in my buildservice account -- but I guess if no one complains -- why not? Generally I set up a build environment on a local server, to be ablje to control the build end-to-end, the order, etc.. but the next time I have time, I'll give a few packages a go on buildservice.
I think it's enough to clone only the packages you want to modify.
Other required packages can be linked using meta configuration
(Projects -> Meta) like follows:
<project name="home:xxx">
...
<repository name="openSUSE_Leap_15.2">
<path project="openSUSE:Leap:15.2" repository="standard"/>
<path project="KDE:KDE3" repository="openSUSE_Leap_15.2"/>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
</repository>
</project>
In this example, your package(s) can be built using the packages
which KDE:KDE3 provides.
Apart from that, there is also a way to build locally using "osc build".
Thanks.
