Now I've already wasted some time with this and I don't want to continue it.
Why does everybody think producing proper packages (and documentation for them) is a waste of time ? :(
Packaging is *NOT* the 5 minute spare cycle where one would not know what else to do with... it's a serious task resulting in what we call a distribution.
I don't think that's a 5 minute spare job. But for me it's really annoying if others are wasing my time. Note that removing timezone was not even announced. Suddenly I found some broken builds and had to investigate why they were broken - just to find out that I have to add some more stupid lines to get something which is available on any system and which would even be installed on a "Linux from scratch" per default. But I call it luck that I found fully broken packages rather than just silently having missing or untested features. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
