Yes. There are two modes here: * The OBS has code to copy all a project's packages to another project (creating it, if it does not exist). * My modification tries to add a mode which allows copying the binaries as well, so as to prevent rebuilding them. Should be useful in various use cases. In my testing it was working fine, but David could reproduce a race condition where rebuilding does happen. I am trying to reproduce this and hopefully fix it. --- Thanks, Islam Amer
