Create XLibre packages in OpenSuse Build Service (OBS)

[darkhog]

Describe the task

Creating and later on maintaining xlibre packages in openSuSE OBS would make it possible to run xlibre on openSuSE systems. OBS is also similar in concept to Arch's AUR, so if someone makes xlibre packages there, it would serve as a litmus test for distro-wide support. You can then install it via the opi command that searches OBS repos for packages, like in following example:

:~> opi xlibre
Searching repos for: xlibre
No package found.
:~> opi x11libre
Searching repos for: x11libre
No package found.

Sadly nothing shown in this example, because there seems to be no Xlibre packages in openSuSE.

It should be done because

It will serve as a litmus test to see if openSuSE is actually supportive for xlibre or not. Sadly I don't have time needed to build the packages and then maintain them or I'd do it myself.

Thank you for reporting the issue! Yes, it would be desirable if someone could do that. I'm converting this into an idea in X11Libre 1 New Ideas · Discussions · GitHub since it is more packaging-related than a development task in the scope of the Xserver.

Changed the category to X11Libre Xlibre On Other Distributions · Discussions · GitHub since it better aligns with the updated README.

Is anyone working on this? I would very much like to replace Xorg with xlibre on openSuSE.
