Hi there,
We’re a ISV and we distribute a product which requires Mono for Linux (all flavors).
My question is:
Thanks,

It sounds like a private instance may be beneficial for you, given that
your product is proprietary.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the answer.
We’ll need to build our own machine then.
Question: do you know anyone who would be interested on a contract work to create the service and configure it to build Mono and Package our Plastic SCM (Plastic SCM - distributed version control system (DVCS)) software? We’d love to do that ASAP so if anyone is interested we’d be happy to talk.
Thanks,
pablo

I don’t myself, but if I hear of anyone who’s looking, I’ll send them
your way.

As to my little experience:
[1] Do you plan to distribute your proprietary product with openSUSE and let users use it freely in openSUSE? (you can still sell for other cases)
[2] Can you stand that you have to upload your source code to build.opensuse.org then everybody can see it by downloading the tarball? (it’s possible to “strip” source from the end products, but “to build” means b.o.o needs your source code.
If the answer is yes, go contact Adrian/Coolo on openSUSE buildservice list. And you have to prepare a re-distribution license for openSUSE.
If the answer is no, you have to set up your own build service.
That’s OK, if you want to and we allow you to distribute it with openSUSE, you can use the NON-OSS repo like Flash.
It depends. OBS can only be used to package LIBRE softwares with source codes and the close-source softwares which are part of openSUSE.
Yes you can. Even in your private build service, you can still link the free packages in OBS to build your proprietary software as dependency (see pmbs.links2linux.org Projects, there’re linked projects) . But you can’t re-use the codes of the free packages.
Someone asked exactly the same questions on buildservice mailing lists some time ago. And Adrian refused him.
No you don’t need to pay a fee for contents on OBS. and we don’t accept fees. But you have to obey our rules( see [1] and [2]).
If you want to setup private OBS, the OBS is still free to you, but you may have to pay for Consulting fees if you need help.
Yes
It depends on how much you pay and how big your project is…
And here on forums you can’t meet your targets…you need to ask on opensuse-packaging mailing list.
PS: If you can have the private OBS ready, I’m available to be hired to package.
Greetings,
Marguerite
