[opensuse-buildservice] Moving UFO:AI to games:startegy:turn based
Dear Holger, dear all As we already talked together, we had the Idea to move the game UFO:AI to the Games:Strategy:Turn Based directory, where it would perfectly fit. For this I have several questions, especially related to the ufoai-data package: - Can there be a separate repository only for ufoai-data, to avoid it to be built for all platforms (like 10.1, 10.0, SLED and so on)? In this special Repo of course, nothing else would have to be built. The problem with UFO:AI is the excessive amount of data files being pushed to the client (160MB!) that should not be duplicated to multiple repos if possible (see also discussion in the buildservice-mailinglist about this)? Maybe something like games:strategy:turnbased:uniform data packages And then a point of usability: If the first one can be done: can it easily be achieved that, when rug is instructed to install ufoai, it grabs the datafile frm 'games:strategy:turnbased:uniform data packages', even though it would not be subscribed? Honestly, I guess not and in general I would even say I HOPE NOT! That would be a security nightmare :-) So better: can the package ufoai contain some information on how to get the ufoai-data package? Like 'For installing ufoai, you require also to subscribe to the repository 'games:strategy:turnbased:uniform data packages', as otherwise the Data-Files are not available' ? Looking forward for an answer, Dominique

Not sure if this can be done. Maybe a single project building ufo:ai-data stuff only (for one distribution) could provide the noarch package to every distribution that is subscribed for that project. However, I don't like it, as it's not really convenient for the users, they have to subscribe to two channels.
