OBS

Open Build Service (OBS)

The OBS (Open Build Service) is a build management system written for the community by openSuse/Novell.

MeeGo has two main OBS setups:

• The Core OBS : https://build.meego.com/ - used by core developers to build the main MeeGo distribution; accounts provided to anyone who earns commit rights to a MeeGo package. More information on how to get an account can be found here
• The Community OBS : https://build.pub.meego.com/ - used by MeeGo community members to build opensource applications and libraries

Additionally vendors may have private OBS installations

OBS installations may be linked to each other so that software build on a vendor OBS or the community OBS may refer to and track software packages being developed on the core OBS.

Whilst the OBS does the bulk of the compiling and building there is additional QA, automation and test infrastructure used by the MeeGo Project : The Build Infrastructure article has more details.

Setup a local test instance

There is a wiki article on how to setup a Build Service of your own - note that you don't need to do this to build locally; it's only usually needed by vendors.
