Each "entry" in the .repo file is a repository, so to get around the issue, I suggest having something like [oscar-i386[ and [oscar-noarch] repositories. > I've posted comments on ticket 410 about this [2]. > Once we will have decided which optimizations we use for each distro, we > will just have to write it in the repository manager I'm currently > writting, which include automatic build features. > (In case you think about it ;-) , I don't want to use SuSe build service > as SuSe is not part of OCG and I can not imagine depending on them for > such a critical service). 1) The source code for the entire build service is available and you can even install this on your own server. Even if Novell is to go belly up, you could continue to use your own instance of the build service. 2) There is a vmware appliance for the build service which I am hosting: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/924 Perhaps we could get a vmware instance up and running and see how it works 3) The build service has been getting quite a bit of traction as of late, and more 2nd party and major open source projects are starting to rely on its service -- I doubt it would just shut down for no reason, and we should be safe because of 1) 4) Why not invite Novell to have a closer collaboration? I have started on this in the past and am willing to continue with this. AFAIK Novell does not have their own clustering solution and since we support openSUSE and SLES, it is a good way to collaborate. Also, it would be a good showcase for the buildservice if OSCAR end up using it. Would you feel more comfortable if we have an official partnership with Novell?
