These pages are in preparation - contributions welcome.

Note: See the OBS wiki page for explanation of the different OBS services MeeGo offers.

This track will give you a brief introduction to the features and capabilities of the OBS instance hosted at build.meego.com. Note: You need an account to access build.meego.com. If you have no account, you can still learn how the OBS works at the upstream project's own instance http://build.opensuse.org .

In this track, you'll learn how to use the web interface, the commandline client and create your first package. The packaging guidelines and more advanced topics are also covered.

Verifying Your Package Changes Locally and Online

Troubleshooting

  • I'm getting "error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo" — Disable the debuginfo flag for the repo/arch that gives you this problem. You will probably still get a debuginfo package. This appears to happen when OBS creates debuginfo packages by default, and so this flag causes a sort of doubling-up of the debuginfo package.
