Open Build Service version 2.7 released

We are happy to announce the availability of the Open Build Service Version 2.7! Three large features around the topic of integrating external resources made it into this release. We worked on automatic tracking of moving repositories of development versions like Fedora Rawhide, distribution updates or rolling Linux releases like Arch. A change to the OBS git integration to enable developers to work on continuous builds. And last but not least an experimental KIWI import that can be used to easily migrate your images from SUSE studio.

Beta One of Version 2.7 Released

We are happy to announce the first preview release of the upcoming Open Build Service (OBS) version 2.7. Two highlights that you should check out are the download on demand support which makes it possible to include external software repositories and the new git work flows.

Git work flows in the upcoming 2.7 release

The upcoming Open Build Service (OBS) 2.7 release will deliver massive improvements to the way we are dealing with git sources for builds.

Open Build Service version 2.6 released

Another year, another release. It's time for the Open Build Service Version 2.6! This release very much focuses on bug fixing. Since OBS 2.5 there have been over 800 commits by 16 contributors, changing 565 files with 7.000 additions and 4,550 deletions. But don't despair we did not only fix bugs, two large features also made it into this release. We worked on the collaboration features of the OBS, requests now support priority and have a better history and we have added support for building Debian live images.

Open Build Service version 2.5 released

Are you ready for another set of great features for your free software packaging needs? We are with version 2.5. of the Open Build Service(OBS). With this release you can plug OBS into your continuous integration/delivery chain thanks to the new token API that let's you trigger builds from revision control systems like github. 2.5 further merges the Web UI and API into one single Ruby on Rails app, so it is easier for you to maintain, easier for us to extend and most important way snappier to use for your packagers. This release also begins to unify the various places where you can configure things into the OBS API, introduces an integrated comment and notification system and saves your OBS servers some cycles by automatically cleaning up left over branches. As you can see our team never tires to be awesome! Read on for more, in depth, information about OBS version 2.5.
