Nothing new, really, except that openSUSE's Build Service has reached version 1.0

The OpenSUSE Project has launched an automated build system aimed at helping developers build and package their applications. The "OpenSUSE Build Service" can package source code for several popular distributions, and cross-compile it for a variety of architectures, according to the Project.

 

The OpenSUSE Project has apparently been working on its Build Service software for some time. However, it announced today that an initial 1.0 release of the tools would be used to power a service that in turn would be used to create the next release of OpenSUSE, targeting x86, x86_64, and PPC architectures.

 

The Build Service tools are hosted by Novell. They appear to comprise build scripts aimed at building and packaging software in "clean and safe" chrooted build environments. In addition to RPMs for OpenSUSE, the tools can package software for:

 

* SUSE Linux and Linux Enterprise

* Debian (Etch)

* Red Hat/Fedora/CentOS

* Mandriva

* Ubuntu

 

So it will help build Ubuntu even! :jester:

In other news, openSUSE will be at the LinuxWorld Expo being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco on August 6. So if you live in California, lucky you :dev:
