Dear Community,

I just filed a couple delete requests for packages that have been failing to build for > 200 days by now. Considering that nobody seems to care to submit fixes for those packages, I think it is safe to assume they have been abandoned.

This message serves as a final call for help on those packages: if you think those packages should remain, then help to keep them alive by takaing over maintainership. Actions count more than words here (words counl zero for me). If anybody wants one of those packages to remain and commits to doing the work, please approach me so I can cancel the delete request for the time being. But I won't keep them failing for much longer.

Of course, at any moment, the packages can be re-introduced if a new maintainer could be found.

The packages going to be deleted shortly are:

may be somewhat difficult to identify referenced packages by numbers, especially since https://build.opensuse.org/project/status/openSUSE:Factory appears to be down.

Cheers, Dominique

We are currently in the process of dropping all golang packages that are not providing a binary. From a quick look this includes all of the packages you've listed, so from my perspective I have no problem with these being removed. -- Aleksa Sarai Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH https://www.cyphar.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
