OBS Light


Traditional Embedded developers who are selecting MeeGo are more comfortable with the tradition of local build tools based on a chroot than a with a full cloud based system like OBS. While OBS will provide them with a very power and adpated tool to their long term need, the entry cost can be perceived to be too high. This is issue is particularly strong in TV or IVI world.

The project proposes to create and to publish a lighter version of OBS called OBSlight which can be delivered with a pre-packaged MeeGo TV (or any other MeeGo vertical) release on a DVD image.

Under a simple UI, it reuses the osc command line tools delivered with OBS to which a set of extra plugin are created and on an extension of mic2 and remains compatible with a full implementation of OBS. It will be published under License: GPLv2.

The osc plugin for automatic patch creation are designed to be reusable in a full OBS environment.
