Everything you need to know about managing your own instance of an OBS.


The scope of this article is general day-to-day operations for an already installed OBS system. Installation, setup and upgrades should not be covered here. The focus is on making changes to the configuration (adding/removing workers from the pool) and FAQs.

osc co <project>

cd into <project>

for i in $SRPMS; do osc importsrcpkg <options> $i; done
