“Richard Bos: A stable repository for kolab

” “During the X-mas holidays Kolab, the groupware server got a
stable repository for 11.1 and 11.2 on the openSUSE build service
(OBS). All packages that are not provided by the openSUSE base
distribution have been copied (using osc copypac) to the STABLE
repository. Another possiblity to achieve the same result could be
by making a fixed link to the unstable package using osc linkpac -r
. Once the unstable package works again the link could be updated
with osc setlinkrev -r to point to the working revision or updated
revision.”

“openSUSE News: openSUSE releases the openSUSE Build
Service(OBS) Beta 2 today

” “This release is now feature complete and also the API should
be final by now.

“Biggest changes since beta 1 are:
* Switch to Ruby on Rails 2.3.5
* The branch call is doing full copies of packages now, not just
_link files anymore “
