For someone who can read code, fix bugs and submit patches, the only hurdle is getting to know the build service. It IS a hurdle, but not unsurmountable. I think the build service documentation is lacking a lot (comprehensive howtos for instance), but asking on the -packaging list usually gets you going. There are also some good blogs out there. Familiarizing oneself with the spec file syntax is just something one has to do.
Hi Per; Would you please post us a few of those blogs to help folks getting started?
Hi Tom sure, I should have added them in my first post. I was initially referred to this one, which although not exactly a howto, did help me with my first steps with OBS: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/06/20/opensuse-factory-fixing-packages I don't have any other links handy, but I know I've come across one or two other blogs which were helpful. There are also guides/references to the osc (the command line interface) and the web-ditto. Due to the SOPA sillyness today, I can't access most/all of the other openSUSE pages. :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-3.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
