[opensuse-packaging] a common project for packages built for SLE12
Hi, Those of you running SUSE Linux Enterprise somewhere may know the problem. openSUSE contains some package that you want on SLE but since there is no SUSE support for that particular package you won't find it in any of the official repos either. openSUSE on the other hand contains that package and maybe the package maintainer(you!?) even builds it in the Factory devel project for SLE. Devel projects however may contain lots of other experimental stuff that you may not want on your SLE installation. So it would be really nice to have a central project to collect known good community packages built for SUSE Linux Enterprise server. That project is here now: openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12! Getting a package in there is quite easy. Just file a submit request to openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12. There are basically two rules for packages in that project: - packages must not conflict with packages already contained in SLE - package sources must be accepted also in Factory More details are explained in the wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Backports The whole thing is still a bit experimental to find out what works and what not. Nevertheless testers, contributors and feedback in general welcome! cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Kewl!! That would be me ;) So I assume the SR is from the development project(s)? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.39-47-default up 15:26, 3 users, load average: 0.37, 0.41, 0.35 CPU AMD A4-5150M APU @ 3.3GHz | GPU Richland Radeon HD 8350G -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

You can submit package sources from the devel project, yes. If you submit from elsewhere and are not the package maintainer, one of the review bots will set the devel project maintainers as reviewer. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
