The developers of most software won't do this. Most likely they don't even know what repositries they need to add for each > Who > maintains the repository is irrelevant.

An example. makeSUSEdvd needs the latest version of autoyast2-utils, or at least create_package_descr So now I have to find out what repositories I must point people to for each version of SUSE. Naturaly this should then also be done for other distributions. Technicaly doable. In reality it won't work. If you see how many deveopers only give you a sourcefile or just sourcefile and a *.deb, I doubt very much that they suddenly will start adding what you want. The void is filled by repositories. The SUSE Build Server should be able to fill that void. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > > Today I went outside.
