These pages are in preparation - contributions welcome.

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 openSUSE Build Service works at the upstream project's own instance http://build.opensuse.org .

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