The openSUSE Buildservice will be released with version 1.7 soon next year. We are already building beta packages in the openSUSE:Tools:Unstable project.

I started to build appliances for the OBS with SUSE Studio now:

• openSUSE Buildservice + Desktop (1.7 beta1):
  Contains the obs backend server, worker, the API, the webui, an IceWM desktop and OSC and firefox to directly use it.
  Virtualbox + VMWare image (1.4 GB),
  Live CD image (292 MB),
  Disk image (USB) (1.2 GB)
• openSUSE Buildservice Server (1.7 beta1):
  Contains the obs backend server, worker, and API and webui.
  Virtualbox + VMWare image (1.1 GB),
  Live CD image (181 MB),
  Disk image (USB) (808 MB)
• openSUSE Buildservice Worker (1.7 beta1):
  Only contains the obs worker that will try to connect to a backend discovered by slp.
  Virtualbox + VMWare image (872 MB),
  Live DVD image (137 MB),
  Disk image (USB) (555 MB)

Known issues:
- firefox does not start automatically in the desktop appliance

Please report issues with the beta packages / appliances to opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org.
