Hello, In my institute we are selecting the operating system and Leap 42.1 is a strong candidate. In the selection process we are deeply analyzing the packaging and package management aspects. Currently we use openSUSE 11.1 and some custom GUI packaging and installation tools based on RPM. With the new OS we would like to follow the packaging good practices of the distribution. We have already tried building packages for the python projects, using the python setup.py bdist_rpm (based on distutils), but we also wanted to give a try to the "openSUSE:Packaging guidelines [1]. We mostly use Python and C++ projects, hosted on sourceforge/github or our local repositories. We do want to implement Continuous Delivery, so automatic packaging and deployment to the testing environment is crucial for us. Initially we do not foresee to publish our packages to the distribution, but maybe in the future we would like to do that for some of our projects. In your portal we have found several recommendation to use the OBS [2]. But our understanding is that OBS is just for the packages aimed to be public. We have not found information on how to build locally packages apart of a link to the Fedora How to create RPM packages [3]. There is also a possibility to setup our private OBS system, but maybe it is too complicated solution for what we need right now. Could you provide us a guide on how to do packaging in the most compatible with the openSUSE standards way. Thanks a lot for your help!
