provide RPM packages for various distributions in openSUSE build service #66

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

It would be nice to have RPM packages for various distributions (including
non-SUSE distris like Fedora, Mandriva...) in openSUSE build service - also
for the older versions of these distributions.

Furthermore, a would be nice to have not only binary packages, but also a
libproxy-devel package with the header files.

I've assigned this to dimstar as he is an openSUSE guy.

Let me start with the opensuse request:

libproxy is officially part of the upcoming openSUSE 11.2 (Current M6). The 
package
consists of the library, several config subpackages and a -devel package. This 
is
already done.

Regarding the other distributions: libproxy will shortly appear in most of them 
that
are using gnome, as libproxy is an external dependency. Activating those builds 
in
the OBS is most likely calling for trouble. I'm myself aware of the packaging
guidelines for openSUSE. I know that Fedora is rather close with the package 
(in fact
the initial checkin they had was a copy from openSUSE). I have no idea of all 
other
packaging guidelines out there. And in plus I don't know anything about deb 
packaging.

So in short: I don't think there is anything that we as upstream project can do 
in
this situation.
