Does somebody uses the Open Build Service at http://openbuildservice.org/ ? It looks like it knows how to pull from a git repo and build packages for multiple distributions and different architectures. If someone with knowledge about packages could take a look into creating a unified package with that system, it would save a lot of time for many different people using different distros. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
