In my phrase above, I referred to the projects that are build on the buildserver. I mean if the packages are allowed to be build on the buildserver, they are allowed to be distributed by by opensuse. Or are these 2 different animals? If all sofrtware build on the buildserver is allowed to be distributed by novell/opensuse, than it is also possible to create smart channel files/rpms for each of the projects hosted on the buildserver. Once an rpm is created it can be stored/movedto a common directory on the buildserver. > It could be done for repositories that don't contain stuff like mad or > lame (which discards my repository and Packman, at the very least), like > latest mozilla.org packages, latest wine packages by Marcus, latest > OpenOffice.org packages, etc... > > But the other ones must be hosted elsewhere. See above. It's about the software provided via the buildserver. At the end it may result in 2 'smart-channel' repositories. One at the buildserver and another 1 hosted somewhere else, providing smart-channel rpms that are not possible to host on the buildserver. > Note that this structure would make it possible to host the/my smart > RPMs in the openSUSE Build Service. > I was very reluctant to the idea, and I'm still pretty sure it is going > to make things more difficult for end-users but well... dunno...

No, it will be different. Assume that there are 2 smart-channel directories (buildserver, and e.g. at packman). You should include those 2 channels by default in your smart rpm. The only thing the user now has to do to add packman is: smart install smart-channel-packman and packman is added.... :) In the same swing, one can execute: smart install smart-channel-bs-home:rbos (bs = buildserver) ps: is this discussion okay to be held here (opensuse = community) or should it be moved to somewhere else? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
