I have now branched the same package to our Staging project using:

  $ osc -A pmbs branch openSUSE.org:KDE:Qt libqt4 Staging A_tw-libqt4

and enabled openSUSE_Tumbleweed as the only build architecture. Build
doesn't start and checking the package doesn't look good either:

  $ osc -A pmbs buildinfo Staging A_tw-libqt4 openSUSE_Tumbleweed x86_64
  <buildinfo project="Staging" repository="openSUSE_Tumbleweed" package="A_tw-libqt4" downloadurl="http://pmbs-api.links2linux.de:8080">
    <arch>x86_64</arch>
    <error>excluded</error>
    <srcmd5>0d715460b0515c112503c2adef548560</srcmd5>
    <verifymd5>9b8490225476a74f0c0575d5df297074</verifymd5>
    <rev>1</rev>
    <debuginfo>0</debuginfo>
  </buildinfo>

@Stefan, could this indicate some problems with the pmbs-api interface?

TIA, cheers.
