OBS Fedora

[Damian Ivanov]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Of course I do Fedora and SuSE on my PC. But from Mo-Fr. I am not at home
and use my companie's laptop where I can not install Linux and
wouldn't really like
to install additional software. And having two laptops around would be
too much :)

How can I package Fedora packages under these circumstances from Mo-Fr?
Any ideas appreciated.

Cheers,
Damian
