Hi,
I meant more like use susestudio as a tool to quickly build an image with my packages for testing. I guess the latest milestone or snapshot would be fine and "recent" enough.
I can imagine that having this feature would entice much more package maintainers to regression test their packages after each milestone. For example I just found out that with udev 142 (which apparently appeared recently in factory) my package stopped to work (due to the removal of vol_id) and I would have found out much sooner if I would have a one-click solution for quickly checking out a working image of factory/snapshot with my package in it. You can get a factory live cd, boot it and install your package into it. You can even put it on a usb stick to test reboot with it.
Or is it such a big problem to add a "Bleeding Edge development" channel to susestudio? After all the remaining processes would not change much. And if it doesn't work flawless then one could collect valuable feedback. Open Source is also about easy access to bleeding edge versions (and yes, I am also not yet perfect in this area :-( ).
Factory is more than updated packages, we need to adopt the tools to create live images all the time. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
