[opensuse-factory] Any plan to solve the 'legal-auto' bottleneck?
Hi, There are currently 175 requests waiting for a legal auto review (295 with the automated review from one of the 'Cloud:Platform' repo). The oldest requests are 2 months old, one is 2 months old (SR#690389). The legal-auto 'group' contains 2 persons, the bus factor is critically low. Are there plans to improve the situation? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks.
The only people who are allowed to accept such reviews are SUSE's legal team, which at present is undergoing some major restructuring with the Microfocus SUSE carve out, hopefully as that settles the 2 people can get back to doing more reviews and less other things, but if it continues to be a longer term issue raise it again and the board can raise it with SUSE. At some point in the past we went from 1 person to 1.5 so its an issue that has been addressed in the past and can be addressed again but due to the legal implications especially for SLE products sharing the same source code its not a problem thats especially easy to resolve just by throwing more people at it. cheers -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

What's the reasonable timeframe before raising it again? there are now 21 pending requests opened (at least) 2 months ago. Thanks, Christophe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

why is it a legal-*AUTO* group and not just a legal group? It is interesting that suse is no longer under microfocus. Was there some effect on Suse from that direction and if so, would there be any re-prioritizations? Or is it expected that everything will pretty much stay as is as Microfocus didn't really change or pressure for things to happen differently?

That the packages are legally fine. That we are allowed to ship them and nobody be able to sue openSUSE/SUSE for this. And a lot of more stuff.

I guess historical reasons.

This has nothing to do with MicroFocus. It's purley and solely about licenses and their effect.
