Hi all, I am the author of the GluCat package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/science/glucat and am currently enhancing it via Git on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/p/glucat/git/ci/master/tree/ Very soon I will be ready to tag and release version 0.7.2. Is there a way to test build GluCat on OBS before I release the new version, to avoid the patching that took place with 0.7.1 ? Where is this documented ?

Hi
Just branch the package into your home repository to build from your
master git version (perhaps set as a service to auto build). Once you
test and are have tagged for release you can submit the completed
package.

Sorry to be very ignorant, but I have never directly contributed to the OBS, and so I have no clue.
By “submit the completed package” do you mean the proecure documented here:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_maintenance#Submit_your_changes
If so, I don’t know how to get to the login prompt to start. Do I register a username somewhere and ssh to somewhere else? Where is this documented?
Thanks!

Hi
Sort of 
But I would only push to the development project. Generally
openSUSE doesn’t update the released versions, security fixes are
generally back ported via the maintenance routine.

Check out the command line utility osc for local building/testing and
all things that can be done via the web ui.
