From that place it is forwarded to -[openSUSE Factory](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory). +To build the library, simply run `make`. Install with `make install`. + +Basically every new commit into the master branch of the repository will be auto-submitted +to all current SUSE products. No further action is needed except accepting the pull request. + +Submissions are managed by a SUSE internal [jenkins](https://jenkins.io) node in the InstallTools tab. + +Each time a new commit is integrated into the master branch of the repository, +a new submit request is created to the openSUSE Build Service. The devel project +is [system:install:head](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/system:install:head/hwinfo). + +For maintained branches, the package is submitted to a devel project but the final submission +must be triggered manually. + +`*.changes` and version numbers are auto-generated from git commits, you don't have to worry about this. + +The spec file is maintained in the Build Service only. If you need to change it for the `master` branch, +submit to the +[devel project](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/system:install:head/hwinfo) +in the build service directly. + +The current names of the devel projects for other branches can be seen in the jenkins logs. + +Development happens mainly in the `master` branch.
