Like the clean build environment, not messed up with personal add-ons and tweaks?
How clean do you think a clean directory in my computer is? Absolutely empty.
As clean as all the additionally installed packages and tweaks, that are not needed to compile the program (and would not be in a new VM on OBS).
That is only relevant when compiling for publication.
No, the point Axel is making is that every package you have installed on your system may have altered the compilation environment in some unknown way. Some library or config file on your system may be different from what somebody else has and may be referred to when compiling the program. So they cannot reproduce what you did and any instructions you may give are not as useful as they could be.
The point of OBS is to provide a well-defined environment so that compilations etc *ARE* reproducible.
Ah, understood, thanks :-)
But that has never blocked me from compiling something I wanted. Can't say I even noticed the issue.
I suspect that it would be the users of the RPM that you create who might see problems from that. :-) Leslie --
