(sending again as it didn't end up on the OBS ML) Hi all, I'd like to introduce to you Thomas Leonard and Anders Björklund, two 0install [1] developers. I recently got in contact with them and suggested they might get OBS to support creating 0install packages/recepies/scripts. 0install is a different beast than the usual packages OBS builds, but it seemed to me quite awesome if OBS users could also opt to create 0install packages. Thomas has already submitted the zeroinstall-injector package [2] for inclusion in factory. Technically, 0install is different, but I understand from Anders that it should be possible:
There is no fundamental difference in making an RPM package from a specfile, compared with making a XML+TBZ package with 0compile.
In the .rpm, you have the metadata, signature and archive combined into one file while in ZI you have them separated into two files.
Anders, Thomas, here is the documentation on adding a build target: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_adding_build_targets However I'm not sure this'll work for 0install. So, people on the OBS ML, could you tell the gents if you're interested in working with them on this and where they should start with getting a 0install build target?
