In order to save some hassle for me and my institution, I currently branched the last available version of the openSUSE RPM of Adobe Reader in OBS.
I figured, as the package was available in the official openSUSE 'non-free' repos on OBS before and still is for < 13.1, this would be OK.
So is it OK to branch or not? There are several other non-official repos which have it branched currently. Is a branched package in a home repo in OBS technically still being distibuted by openSUSE?
Thanks for any help!
Packages under a non-OSI license are only allowed in openSUSE:*:Non-Free(:*) according to the rules* and may be deleted, so I'd just check out the package from openSUSE:12.3:NonFree:Update and build it locally for 13.1.
Can't you simply use the 12.3 package? What is the benefit of rebuilding a package with binary-only sources? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
