Your project has enabled a certain amount of repositories (or 'distribution' 
targets) to build against, each points to a repository of another OBS project 
(also called 'paths' in OBS lingo).  [1] explains how to add more, note that 
you can do that also in the webui.

Well, we do have 1.9.x, but it isn't as easy as you think. Packaging both 1.8 
and 1.9 in parallel is a lot of work and there's a lot of gems out there that 
depend on 1.8.
