This is the official, edited and reviewed documentation for 
the Open Build Service (OBS).

The documentation is currently split into two books:
  * The OBS admin guide
  * The OBS best practices guide

To work on this document you need to install the package "daps".

Since this documentation is written in docbook, it should also work
without this package, but we don't have documentation for this yet.
Please provide a patch for this file in case you managed to do it ;)

After editing the document validate your changes via the following 
commands:

 # . DC-obs-reference-guide
 # daps validate

or for the best practices guide:

 # . DC-obs-best-practices
 # daps validate

html documentation can get generated via

 # daps html

This document gets hosted on github 

  https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service-documentation

So the standard github work-flow with forked repositories and pull requests
can be used to contribute to these books.

The former svn repositories on berlios and svn.opensuse.org are not used anymore
and will removed or write protected soon!
