Questions about y2pmbuild
Hello all, Time goes fast, and every day we have more packages and more SuSE distributions, and less time to spend building :( So I decided to migrate to 'y2pmbuild' way, instead of 'do_almost_all_manually' . I think it will make my life easy, isn't it ? But now I have some questions, sorry if they are many times answered : 1) I assume that in a SuSE 10.0 we can build environments for 10.0 and 9.x distros. Could we build future distros, i.e. 10.1?. Can I build 10.0 rpms in a 9.3 base system? 2) We can point every dist to their net instalation sources. So y2pmbuild can build the proper environment. But, how can we apply the updates and patches of that base packages?. Should we build in a non-patched-since-release environment?

Likely. You need to either use a newer y2pmsh or create the config files for the new distro manually.

I'd use local repositories.

Mirror the update tree locally and run createrepo on it. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development V_/_ http://www.suse.de/
Ludwig, Thanks by your sugestions. I'll try to do local repos with the 'update' trees. Have a nice Sunday. Guillermo El Domingo, 19 de Marzo de 2006 14:44, Ludwig Nussel escribió:

I revised it. Is far more MB to download than I thought. Is there any way to make a 'yast online update' in every y2pmbuild environment. If the answer is no, it would be a nice thing to add to future y2pmbuild versions. Add it to a wish list. ;) Guillermo
