Inclusion in official openSUSE repositories

Open samuelgrf opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, can you please enable 5.14 builds on OBS.

Also thank you for this excellent tool, I've already scanned hundreds of pages with it :).

Done, and for the ipp-usb too.

I wonder how to get these packages officially included into the OpenSUSE repos. They are already in the Debian/Ubintu/Fedora/Arch/... and even some *BSD.

Here's what I gathered from the Wiki:

  1. Tumbleweed (OS rolling release) packages are built as part of the Factory OBS Project.
  2. The openSUSE:Factory project requires that every package reside in a so-called development project, which acts as a feeder project to openSUSE:Factory.
  3. Inclusion in Factory is a prerequisite for getting our packages added to Leap (Non-rolling release).

So first we need to get the packages added to the related openSUSE development projects. I think the graphics project would be the most fitting for sane-airscan and network for ipp-usb.

Here are the related Wiki articles: openSUSE:How to add a new package to Factory openSUSE:Packaging for Leap

Sorry, this is very unlikely that I'll ever find my personal resources to drive inclusion these packages (sane-airscan and ipp-usb) into official openSUSE repositories. I'm even not the openSUSE user, though pay a lot of respect to its community for its build services, which I was using for a while for these two projects
