Hi Adrian, it's nice to have "beta" version, but I would prefer to have this in sub-project "Test" or "Unstable". Some days ago I installed 1.5.1-4.1 on a testbox, and now I wanted to install it on another box, but this is not possible, because openSUE:Tools is now at 1.6 beta 1. :( I think others would agree to this. Would it be possible to have stable version (e.g. 1.5.1) at openSUSE:Tools and newer stables provided via openSUSE:Tools:Updates ? Kind Regards Chris Adrian Schröter schrieb:
Hi,
we are working currently on the next feature release of the openSUSE Build Service. You can find already a first beta 1 version of 1.6 at the usual places.
This new release features mainly the new Cross Build Support implemented by Martin and Jan-Simon. This allows to build packages for all hardware architectures, even without the need to own these. The emulation is realized via qemu.
Martin and me are working currently also on getting it working in XEN, so we will get ARM build support also on build.opensuse.org. Hopefully tomorrow :)

Martin Mohring documented this support here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/CrossDevelopment
The version 1.6 has also the new "build-compare" support, which allows the system to drop build results, if the result has not changed compared to former build.
The 1.6 Beta 1 package can get downloaded from the openSUSE:Tools project
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=obs- server&project=openSUSE:Tools
or as tar ball from the for pages:
