There will be a community OBS and discussion around it will be starting today I hope. MeeGo core OBS will not be open to "any user"; invitation only based on merit. If you're not a maintainer, you don't get access. This sounds terrible - and it would be if OBS were a standalone system. It isn't. It is possible to link OBS instances in a fairly seamless manner. This allows access to the core OS to be tightly controlled whilst the community instance is open; we expect this will eventually happen. There are many issues around the deployment of build infrastructure. If you want to influence the deployment then you have to learn about them and act in a constructive manner to help resolve them. There's been a lot of discussion on the Repository Working Group - now called the Community Repository Team (!) take a look at these discussions for background. > Let me explain why I said obs is not opened totally: > build.opensuse.org need registration to access it, novell control the > registration, though I got the account without any problem, but I do not > think it's open enough, anybody could access koji.fedoraproject.org > without registration. OBS is a GPL application. They wrote the access system for their needs. If an OBS user needs anonymous users access then they can submit code... the good news is that this is on the TODO list for the openSuse guys partially thanks to MeeGo David -- "Don't worry, you'll be fine; I saw it work in a cartoon once..." _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
