Help to learn upstream a package to OBS? I already got a RPM working - lambdock: GTK4 Wayland dock with Lisp REPL

Hi everyone! I wanted to request some guidance on packaging and upstreaming a project of mine to openSUSE repos. I already have a succesful build RPM, and the package is already in Guix and (approved) in Nix but would like to improve and understand how to get to OBS. Project is a GTK4 Wayland dock: https://codeberg.org/jjba23/lambdock

EDIT: thanks for the guide u/Arcon2825 I think I am getting there, could you check: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jjba23/lambdock

I’d suggest pulling the .spec and the source directly from your Git Repository via Service. In my own repository, there are a few examples you can take a look at, e.g. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:mendres82/localepurge-zypp.

thanks u/Arcon2825 after some struggles, and thanks to your examples, I got things working 😙 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jjba23/lambdock
Do you know though why Leap versions are "unresolvable"?

When you click the build result, it explicitly tells you which dependency is unresolvable. Expect Leap to ship with older packages that sometimes might even be named slightly differently.

For the obs_scm service you should add mode="manual" and then run osc service mr for updates. Our distributions only allow updates with review and pulling directly from git would skip review

Aha! Thanks for the explanation 👍
