It also discusses simple error cases, based upon the author’s own experiences, but it does not attempt to be a full manual or to cover all options. The steps described here should work well, but if you encounter any diculties, you should consult the manuals or ask an expert for help. This document does not intend to provide a guide for the Open Build Service. If you want to learn more about OBS, visit the project’s Web page at http://openbuildservice.org/ and read the specic documentation there http://openbuildservice.org/help/ Publication Date: March 13, 2018 Contents 1 Introduction: Open Build Service and the Tools osc and quilt 3 2 Repositories and Projects 5 3 Package 10 4 Getting the Package 11 5 Working on the Sources 15 6 Build the Package 22 7 Test 23 8 Submit 23 9 Propagate a patch 24 10 Conclusion 25 11 Legal Notice 26 12 GNU Free Documentation License 27 2 How to Modify a Package in the Open Build Service 1 Introduction: Open Build Service and the Tools osc and quilt The Open Build Service command line client osc is a tool developed to interact with OBS servers.

Excerps for Unixdive
Android Android (As of 2015, Android has the largest installed base of all operating systems world-wide) Largely from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California in October 2003 by Andy Rubin (co-founder of Danger), Rich Miner (co-founder of Wildfire Communications, Inc.), Nick Sears (once VP at T-Mobile), and Chris White (headed design and interface development at WebTV to develop, in Rubin's words, "smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences". In July 2005, Google acquired Android Inc. for at least $50 million, whose key employees, including Rubin, Miner and White, stayed at the company after the acquisition. On November 5, 2007, the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of technology companies including Google, device manufacturers such as HTC, Sony and Samsung, wireless carriers such as Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile, and chipset makers such as Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, unveiled itself, with a goal to develop open standards for mobile devices. That day, Android was unveiled as its first product, a mobile device platform built on the Linux kernel. The first commercially available smartphone running Android was the HTC Dream, released on October 22, 2008. Android's source code is released by Google under open source licenses, although most Android devices ultimately ship with a combination of open source and proprietary software, including proprietary software required for accessing Google services. Android is popular with technology companies that require a ready-made, low-cost and customizable operating system for high-tech devices. Its open nature has encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new features for advanced users or bring Android to devices originally shipped with other operating systems.

Linux Distributions
04_776130 ch01.qxp 2/2/07 10:11 PM Page 1 Working with Linux One of the biggest stumbling blocks when writing software for Linux is understanding what Linux is and is not. Linux means different things to different people. Technically, Linux itself is an operating system kernel written by the Finnish born Linus Torvalds, though most people today casually refer to an entire Linux-based system by the same name. In just a few years, Linux has risen from obscurity and become widely accepted by some of the largest and most powerful com- puting users on the planet. Linux is now a big-money, enterprise-quality operating system. It’s used in some of the largest supercomputers and also many of the smallest gadgets, which you would never expect to have Linux underneath. Yet for all its prevalence — for such a big name in modern computing — Linux isn’t owned by any one corporation that pulls the strings. Linux is so successful because of the many thousands of developers around the world who constantly strive to make it better. They, like you, are interested in writing high-quality software that draws upon the experience of others within the Linux community. Whatever Linux means to you, you’re reading this book because you’re interested in learning more about becoming a professional Linux programmer. As you embark on this journey, you will find it helpful to tool yourself up with an understanding of the different flavors of Linux, how to get going in developing for them, and how working with Linux differs from working with many other popular platforms on the market today.
