I personally don't see it as a big issue directly - the only issue with it is that people clearly assume the "openSUSE Build Service" is there to "Build openSUSE Software".
If people see it that way, maybe it's marketing failure? As you state and I quote:
«hat people clearly assume the "openSUSE Build Service" is there to "Build openSUSE Software".»
I'm sorry to say, but openSUSE is from Novell which is associated with a bad deal with MS. That alone will, I think, be a big barrier to use, download and install openSUSE Build Service. Why would someone using debian, fedora, etc get their packages from download.opensuse.org/repositories/.....??? Would an openSUSE user expect to get his or her software from download.fedorea.org/packages/etc?? or packages.debian.org. I don't think so. It would be much more attractive to get packages from a distribution agnostic site e.g. from buildservice.org/repositories or packages.org/repositories (the former btw redirects already to https://build.opensuse.org/) -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
