openSUSE Build Service 2.1 Brings Web UI Improvements

Tomorrow the openSUSE Conference is beginning in the always-wonderful Germany for a three-day event about the openSUSE project and free software in general with a variety of hacking sessions, birds of a feather sessions, and surely some Nürnberg beer along the way. Sadly due to some last minute scheduling changes and only getting back from San Diego yesterday, I on the behalf of Phoronix will not be in attendance at the German conference, but there is openSUSE news to report today: version 2.1 of the openSUSE Build Service has just been released.

The openSUSE Build Service 2.1 brings an enhanced web user-interface with new options and features only previously exposed via the command-line client, better access controls, and integration with online source-code management tools. Some of the web interface improvements include submitting packages to other projects, showing the history of changes and who authored them with their comments. The source-code management tool integration allows for source services and the automatic checkout of source-code packages via Git or Subversion.
