Is there a howto available which explains how to easily build xbuntu/Debian packages with the OBS?
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Deb_builds may be of interest.
Thanks for this link, that was what I was looking for. Is there a specifc reason why that is not linked from [1]? Anyway, while the mentioned page gives some information I still don't see where to start. For example: the Debian packages guidelines at [2] talk about the debian tools needed. Especially the program dh_make is important since it creates a set of other files. Am I supposed to create them by myself, or can OBS do this for me? If yes, how (I use the webclient usually)? To underline my question: the mentioned URL above also says: "The generated diff file includes:" but does not mention where to generated the diff file.
Btw., if wanted I could also help creating a Fedora dedicated page containing some useful information you might want to know once you intend to build Fedora packages.
There is also http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Tips_and_Tricks
I thought more about [1] since some differences between distributions are mentioned there explicitely already. In any way I first want to understand and finish building xbuntu packages before i start writing documentation.
