I usually build locally on the newest box I have at the moment just to get a new .spec file written in the first place. It would be a pretty slow process using obs to actually figure out all the stuff to build a new package and develop a good .spec file in the first place. But once you have more or less working starting point it's such a timesaver maintaining it forever after.
For this the "osc build" command is of great help. It allows you to test if a change to the spec file or a patch works on your local system. osc is available from the osc package at the standard or openSUSE:Tools repository. It's possible to achieve the same with the help of the build package. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
