What is that?
a point and click (kinda win32 setup wizard) that creates a basic spec file for you.
Sufficient to do the job? Or just a shell requiring developer knowledge to actually make it usable?
Why do I get the feeling this is a bone being thrown to that mad dog Carlos to get him to stop barking? ;-)
I rather think like you... No documentation, no demo... very difficult to evaluate. Let me see what I can find. The wiki has been broken for days... giving pages in Polish. http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Tutorial#Step_Four:_Build_your_package Step Two - Create & Upload packages ... Afterwards click on the [Add File] link to add the files for your package. You need to upload the source code of your package and at least a spec file. ... To write your own .spec file, you should read the corresponding HOWTO. Then you have to upload that. http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial#Specfiles Specfiles RPM specfiles should be written according to the openSUSE Package Conventions. As this is a fairly complex topic by itself there is an extra document about it. Please follow this Document closely while developing your specfile. You can find some example specfiles for different packages in the Build Service SVN. IBM developerWorks also have a summary about this topic: Part 1 and Part 2. No mention of an automatic method anywhere. The entire process is way more complex that simply using configure, make, checkinstall. And much slower, as it runs on an external server, slow internet, instead of my own computer, with full resources allocated. It is of course, perfect for developers and packagers, no point in denying that. But I, and many others, are not such. And of course, there are some applications that are blacklisted (http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List), can't be built on the buildservice, for legal reasons - which is often the reason to build locally. http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/FAQ Q: Can everybody build packages with the openSUSE Build Service ? A: ... But bear in mind that the openSUSE Build Service is a community support project. So please, if you plan to build packages, make sure * your package really adds something new to the community Which of course, is not the case. No, the point is not proven, Cristian. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
