Hello,
I'm trying to build some backports of openSUSE:Factory packages, targeting stock openSUSE 10.2 + updates, and am not sure whether I need to add the openSUSE:10.2 repository, openSUSE:10.2:Update, both, or just the openSUSE 10.2 option that I can select without going to the advanced page on the web interface.
Does openSUSE:10.2:Update include openSUSE:10.2 ?
Usually you should build against openSUSE:10.2 . All later updates remain compatibel, so a package does still work, if the user has updated his system. The only exception, where this compatibility gets broken is the linux kernel API. So, if you build kernel modules (kmp packages) than you build against openSUSE:10.2:Update Youd do not specify both, because openSUSE:10.2:Update "builds" against openSUSE:10.2, this means you get a package from the later one, if it does not exist in :Update -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
