It's fine, I already maintain suse rpm packages of razor-qt in OBS. But how can I handle a "add to factory" request, please?
With some people we have X11:QtDesktop OBS repository. It contains (IMHO) set of important and relatively acceptable quality software (based on Qt) which is slowly expanding from our home:repositories. So maybe it will be cool to add some useful utilities into factory as well...
Is it possible to use X11:QtDesktop as a devel repo for factory? And then to use just "submit package" to factory?
thanks, petr vanek

The Qt libraries are already built under the KDE:Qt repository, and there are Qt packages already being built under various KDE: project like KDE:Distro:Factory and KDE:Extra. Is there a reason you are creating a new repository in a different place, rather than using one of the existing repositories or creating a new project under the KDE: structure like the Qt libraries? -Todd p.s. ccing the opensuse-kde mailing list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

the only one reason is that the "qtdesktop" is handled as a universal platform for packaging. So there rpm packages for fedora/redhat built in the OBS as well.

I am honestly not sure about the best approach. Maintainers of the opensuse-kde project would need to chime in. There are a few, probably unrelated issues. 1. The project to use. Currently there are a series of KDE subprojects. KDE:Qt is where Qt libraries are stored. KDE and Qt apps aimed for openSUSE:Factory go into KDE:Distro:Factory. KDE and Qt apps not aimed for Factory go into KDE:Extra. Updates to applications released with openSUSE:Factory go in KDE:UpdatedApps. However, I don't think any of these are currently built for distros besides openSUSE, so they may not be appropriate. On the other hand, we already have a lot of KDE and Qt repos, and it is worthwhile to try to avoid confusing users by adding yet another KDE/Qt oriented repo. 2. The root of the subproject. Assuming you keep an separate project, currently it is under X11:, but considering pretty much all other Qt and KDE apps are under KDE:, I personally think that would be a better location. This has no impact on what distros you build for, because each subproject has independent build targets. 3. How to handle updates and current openSUSE releases. Will users be expected to use that repo, or will updates be pushed to KDE:Extra? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
