Olaf, just open a bug describing the change you do in build-compare and submit an updated build-compare for SLE12.
In case of build-compare just _link to openSUSE:Factory/build-compare. It is always safe to use the latest version of that package. If not, give me a call.
But it turned out the whole check is flawed because its not easy to use the Backports project as a base for other projects.
backports is supposed to be a maintenance project. It is intended to ship community maintained packages which do not affect the support status of a SLE installation. You are using it more as some development playground, so please do not complain that the check is flawed. It is doing what is supposed to do ;) If you don't care, just disable it. But the users of your project would of course not have the same support level as users of the plain Background projects.
I was hoping for a repo stack like this: myprj openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12-SP2 SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update
If myprj needs 'X-devel' its not possible to rebuild X in myprj because the checks inherited from Backports cause a build failure, even if X is _linked from SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:GA/X (or wherever X was initially provided).
So either all the missing devel packages get published, or Backports rebuilds all of the packages with missing devel packages, or each myprj has to continue to duplicate these packages.
In the meantime I will stop using the Backports project as base.
