I stopped building my own rpm's simply because they are available on the oBS. But now i wonder wether that was a good move.
It depends entirely on whether you trust the person maintaining the packages. IMHO, it would be inappropriate for the openSUSE team to tell you who to trust and who not to trust, and not really viable for the team to vet everyone who creates a repo in OBS (or only allow "trusted" community members to create repos).
I understand what you're saying, I just see it differently. Some people use OBS to maintain packages for their own installation and don't do extensive testing with them. Some do. There's no easy way to know who does and who doesn't.

From what you write, i conclude you agree with me 101%; As you write: "...for their own installation..."
Nobody have any problem with people on the OBS doing their own particular tweaks/ compilations- or build options of any package. Even if it runs only on their own machine during 2am and 3am. Or corrupts filesystems or damage any existing hardware! ==> as long as they publish it in their home directory <==
From what i remember, you have to explicitly ask permision to publish outside the home directories.
All i'm saying is that for those general projects a (much) higher standard of quality / stability should be observed. Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
