OBS Testing and Development for new OBS Features

The OBS Testing and Development System runs the snapshots as well as some upstream support packages like new versions of ruby, ruby on rails etc (this goes back to the beginning of OBS development with a first system in 2006).

The version therein are normally the weekly snapshots from the OBS git repositories trunk. After OBS 2.0, the testsuite had been enhanced and is now run on a weekly basis. Setting up and running the testsuite can be found here

New features like ACL, Cross Build, Download on Demand and others have been developed on this system. Also, the changes in OBS needed to port openSUSE @ ARM architecture are done herein. The first non x86 or ppc distributions had been put onto this system. The MeeGo project has switched to the new Cross Buildsystem now. MeeGo project also runs a semi plublic OBS system for the development and the weekly snapshots of MeeGo.
