Right. OBS can't "cross create" package build descriptions for different distros, even rpm based distros are different.
The funny thing about this is, that one idea was (when I remember correctly my chat with Adrian last year) that there is a plan to create something like this with xml written build description (not the build configurations for different distros on the obs server itself).
I could imagine that it is possible to do that. Finding out the similarities for a global xml package build description and handling the differences with different xml namespaces. Creating the different files for different build environments with xslt then is just a matter of time and testing ;) At least that would be a feature what I would like to see in the future, even thinking about Mark Shuttleworths talk during Akademy 2007 (Listen and Watch it here http://home.kde.org/~akademy07/videos/1-06-Keynote-Shuttleworth.ogg or to spare bandwidth you can find it as well on my server: http://www.sourcecode.de/public/files/1-06-Keynote-Shuttleworth.ogg)
Is this dead? http://en.opensuse.org/Abstract_Package_Build_Description
It was a Google SoC project, but it is not really usable yet. And it lacks someone who continues to work on it ..
However, the idea to create build descriptions from a template set for all distrobutions does exist since a while and there where also approaches to implement it, but none of them is really usable yet AFAIK.
I think this idea is taking place in a lot of OSS heads for quite a few days/months/years .. I would like to work together with people who want that. "People who want that"....yeah, this is a big problem. As long as people think (which I did in the last couple of years) that distros are not working together, this plan won't be realized. So, let's start with work on inter-distro-work regarding package management. I think I'm able to provide some infos about debian and rpm package management.
