Hi Vyankatesh

There is some information on the MeeGo Wiki at 
http://wiki.meego.com/Build_Infrastructure that you may find somewhat helpful. 
It is somewhat lacking in specific details, but it may help fill in some of the 
gaps.  In particular, you may be interested in the Packagers/Developers section.

If you haven't already, you will want to get access to at least the Community 
Build Service. Some info on that here: 
http://wiki.meego.com/Build_Infrastructure/Community_Builder

Some info on installing tools, and in particular the OBS command line interface 
(osc): 
http://wiki.meego.com/Build_Infrastructure/Packagers_Developers/CLI_Part_1

You will also likely find this useful: http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation

Hopefully that gives you a little more to get started with. We are always happy 
to answer questions, too. :)

Tracy

Hi Carsten,

Thank you very much for posting reply to my post.
but I have few doubt.

-Can you provide detail step (some Reference URL) regarding how to use
OBS Server, bcoz I am new to OBS.
-Can I install OBS server on Ubuntu  as Development platform ?
-As you suggested not to build code, but my requirement is I would like
to have complete source code of MeeGo alongwith it's build enviornment so that
I can customize it at low level (replacing UI, Kernel, middleware)
-Then build it for other platform (cross-platform) like ARM.

Appreciating your assistance.

With Best Regards,
Vyankatesh
