[sllug-announce]: May 21, 2008 SLLUG meeting: OpenSuse Build Service

[sllug-announce at sllug.org]

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow night!

Marc Christensen will be presenting on the OpenSuse build service: A 
short tutorial on making cross-distro packages (one set of source files 
produces debs, RPMs for various vendor's distros) and the power of the 
build service.

For more information on what the build service is and what it can do for 
you (regardless of what distro you maintain (for the most part)), see:

   http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service
   http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/cross_distribution_package_how_to
   http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Deb_builds

If you package apps that other people consume such as in and IT 
environment or OpenSource project or just simply want to make packages 
available for easy install on one or more distributions, you need to 
know about the build service.
