openSUSE Build Service expands support to Red Hat and CentOSopenSUSE Build Service expands support to Red Hat and CentOSPosted Jan 24, 2008 23:58 UTC (Thu) by mrdocs (guest, #21409)Parent article: openSUSE Build Service expands support to Red Hat and CentOS Cool, all we need now is a kind of 'fat RPM' that contains all the necessary stuff for twelve different Linux distributions, built automatically and with the system detected by rpm at installation, and people who want to distribute binary packages of software will have an end to their headaches. Who cares if the package becomes 1200 megs big, it will probably be distributed on DVD anyway. Actually, OBS is a great tool and each distro builds rpms in its own Xen instance, so its building in its native environment. Moreover, the build server then kicks out the packages to a worldwide mirroring system which has rpm metadata, so native tools like yum, yast and smart can be used. For developers its a huge asset and the OBS team is very helpful. I blogged about it a while ago: Push Button Packages
