More Documented API Endpoints for Statistics, Status Project, Status Reports and Others

You have probably read about the release of the OpenAPI Documentation. That doesn’t mean the documentation is finished and static. On the contrary, we have recently introduced a few more endpoints and are looking forward to your contributions.

Newly Documented API Endpoints for Comments, Status Messages and Staging

You hopefully have seen our new openAPI Documentation. You might have, since it’s now linked from the old documentation. Besides that change, we spent some of our development time on new documentation on Comments, Status Messages and Staging Workflows.

Continuing on API Endpoint Documentation for Package and File Sources

You might have been already using our new openAPI Documentation. We now want to let you know we added some more documentation about package endpoints and we added the new section about file endpoints.

More API Endpoint Documentation for Project and Package Sources

Remember our new openAPI Documentation? Of course you do!

Search API Endpoints, Fully Documented

Here we come again, with another piece of the API documentation rework. This time we fully documented the search endpoints.

New Documentation for API Endpoints Search and Sources - Projects

Close to the end of the year, we gave the rework of the API documentation some more attention. This time we documented the project sources and some of the search endpoints.

New Documentation for Build and Workers API Endpoints

Following our previous work on the API Documentation, we focused this time on documenting some OBS API endpoints with Swagger UI.

API Documentation Remake

The OBS API has grown for more than fifteen years, and updating and improving the documentation provided to OBS API users has become a recurrent request.

New Local Build Environment Features

Cheatsheet for branching containers with osc

Following our workshop at the great openSUSE Conference 2018, we would like to release a cheat sheet for building container images….

Introduction of the new OBS Container Registry

Did you know that OBS can not only build RPM packages and appliances but also container formats like docker? This is a new feature we introduced last year! But how can you make use of containers you build with OBS?

We recently introduced our https://registry.opensuse.org! Read on if you want to know more

Welcome SUSE Studio Express Users!

A couple of days ago (September 22, 2017) SUSE, one of our main contributors, announced that they will deprecate their SUSE Studio Online service and encourage people to use OBS instead. Studio is an web application that makes it easy to build a custom operating system as a virtual machine, raw/DVD/USB hard disk images. It is basically a frontend for the awesome KIWI command line app.

Two New Guides for Builders

Over the past couple of weeks, we, the SUSE documentation team, have been working on refreshing and restructuring the OBS documentation a bit. The goal (as it always is) was to make it easier for you, the users, to find the right information faster.

SUSE Studio Integration

You all know the amazing SUSE Studio and love how it abstracts the complicated process of appliance building. However, it lacks several essential features like an integration into your continuous integration workflow or automatic rebuilds on updates. If you have followed our recent blog posts then you may have noticed that we currently work on a better integration of appliance building in the Open Build Service. This blog post will show you how you can export your appliance from SUSE Studio and import it into the Open Build Service to benefit from these features.

Creating Your Own Image Template

Are you considering to write your own image templates, but you don’t know how to start? You have come to the right place.

In this short article you will learn to create you own image templates and how you can publish them.

In case of OBS emergency...

OBS Books Project

The Open Build Service (OBS) has a problem. It is horrible powerful, but no one knows. Or if they know that it is, they don't know how to make use of it.

Easily Building Software for Multiple Distributions and Platforms

In a little over a month, the openSUSE conference 2010 will start with the title "collaboration accross borders". This article highlights one of the main topics at this conference — a truly border-crossing technology called the Open Build Service.

This technology helps developers target many different linux distributions with their software quickly and easily, and the openSUSE conference offers the perfect opportunity to get some "inside information" and share ideas towards fast-tracking the software packaging process. Read on to learn more about the Build Service and what it can do for you!

OBS supports new branch and merge handling

Michael Schröder put some effort into supporting a new way of doing a branch and merge of a package with openSUSE Build Service (OBS). This is a new feature of OBS 1.7 release and is active now on build.opensuse.org by default. This new way is almost the same way as subversion or git are working.

KDevelop and the Open Build Service

Building packages for multiple distros can be a major pain -- which is why we provide the Open Build Service. One of the Build Service's many features is the ability to create packages for many distros -- including openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, and Ubuntu.

One of the projects making the most of the Build Service is KDevelop. We talked with KDevelop developer Amilcar do Carmo Lucas about how the KDevelop project is using the build service.

Another Step in Connecting the Worlds of Users And Developers

As you the Open Build Service (OBS) connects the totally different worlds of End-Users and developers/packagers. This already works to the degree that everybody can download software, which got packaged in the OBS. Also the packagers already get feedback via download numbers, tags or rating within the web interface.

Release Management Support for the Open Build Service

The Open Build Service allows from now on more control about what to do with built packages. You can for example switch of the publishing of packages to the ftp server and mirrors, when you prepare a major update in your project.
