• what is opi, OBS and packman

  The Open Build Service (OBS) is a generic system to build and distribute binary packages from Sources in an automatic, consistent, and reproducible way. You can release packages as well as updates, add-ons, appliances, and entire distributions for a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures. More information can be found on openbuildservice.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Just try it, it's glorious

  The amazing tooling: - YaST, the best configuration tool out there. I think its fair to say that nothing comes close to the number of things you can configure with Yast. - Open Build Service (OBS), a tool that automatically builds binaries for software and sets up repositories to add to your favorite package manager. Supports every major linux distro but intergrates especially well with the openSUSE software... Source: almost 2 years ago

• The Future of Snapcraft | Ubuntu

  OpenBuildService is better in every way, is fully opensource everywhere and can even generate packages for ubuntu better than launchpad appears to, and can even build entire distros. No special integrations are necessary, it can cost-effectively work with a highly paralellized number of virtual machines (iinm 100 or more on generic threadripper or epyc). Source: over 2 years ago

• Why is it so difficult for a software application team to support so many distributions via packaging? Is there no machinery to robotically package any application for any of the given major distributions? Why not?

• Linux on the Desktop: Part Two

  Good idea, give it a try. I'd recommend Kubuntu or Mint with Cinnamon. I switched to KDE for KDE Connects' amazing smartphone (Android) integration, which I recommend srrongly to try. Switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed myself, best KDE implemention IMHO, rolling release and the software selection is great, whats missing from the repos can be installed via opi, a client for [0]. It is not that newbie friendly though,... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple

  Try it on openSUSE, the best KDE integration by far IMHO, since it is their standard DE since IDK/forever? Tumbleweed offers the newest packages, rolling like Arch, but with a huge test battery on OBS (https://openbuildservice.org/). Snapshots on upgrade make the thought of breakage (haven't had any) tolerable. Disclaimer: very happy user. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Hi (and an introduction to the Raku CI bot)

  There currently exists no CI offering that provides support for all of these. Especially the rarer hardware platforms are difficult to find support for. There is one rather strange exception though. The Open Build Service, developed and hosted by SUSE, provides a free to use (and open source!) build infrastructure to be used for building packages for a range of Linux distributions on a very wide range of hardware... - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
