RE: Build infrastructure.

Hi john, we tried OBS but we faced some problems with it because even if it's easy to use their debian 8 template from the central OBS instance maintained by opensuse, it is pretty hard to configure a custom build environment that uses our own packages archive, and even by importing the whole mirror as suggested by their documentation, the OBS environment gives nothing to keep it up to date.

 

Do you have any suggestions on that?

SteamOS rebuilds all the Debian packages. We use OBS https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Build_Service. Although the initial setup is a bit complex, once it is up and running everything is pretty painless..

Wondering what the state of build infrastructure in different derivative is.

What derivatives do large scale rebuilding of packages from Debian. I'm
aware of two, Raspbian (aka me) and Ubuntu. Theres also "reproducable
builds" and "debian ports" but i'm not sure if those count as
derivatives or not. Are there any others.

Do derivatives that don't do large scale rebuilding of packages from
Debian tend to have build-infrastructure or do they just build packages
manually?

What do people use to run build-infrastructure (if you have it)?
