Yes, thanks for your objection, this has already been clarified and I 
have pointed out several times in my posts here that the setup I created 
is a *test*, a *proof-of-concept*.

It is intended to show what OBS can do and whether Gambas could benefit 
from it.

It is *not* intended to install and use the packages created there - 
unless someone really wants to try that (preferably in a VM).

In the meantime, I will deactivate the publishing of packages so that 
nobody gets any ideas.

Yup, I think Benoît is already working on it.

Thanks and regards
