openSUSE Build Service goes Open Source
The openSUSE team announced today the open sourcing of our openSUSE Build Service (OBS). We believe that it is not only important to release an excellent Open Source distribution but also create it in an open way with Open Source tools together with the openSUSE community. Releasing the build service as Open Source makes the complete project build on Open Source.
The openSUSE Build Service allows individual developers and teams of developers to build binary packages for the distribution of their choice. It especially allows building for several distributions and releases of distributions from the same source package. As an example just recently the Scribus team blogged how OBS helped them to release binary RPMs of scribus 1.3.3.7. Note that OBS itself is still beta software.
Currently packages can be build for the latest Novell distributions, including SUSE Linux 9.3, 10.0 and 10.1, the openSUSE 10.2 release and the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 line, and also for other current distributions like Debian Etch, Fedora Core 5 and 6, Mandriva 2006, Ubuntu 6.06. The binary package formats currently supported are RPM
and deb.
