Yes, the maintainers of that project want it that way. I added the workaround to prjconf after I added the repositories, so the first iteration failed. Olaf

reducing the number of repositories in Virtualization project

https://build.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization is a development project, which means it may need just the 'openSUSE_Tumbleweed' and the 'Assist_repo_checker' repository. But over time this prj got many more repositories. I think the main reason is virtualbox, which provides a KMP. Therefore I propose to move all the repositories to a new project, Virtualization:virtualbox or Virtualization:VirtualBox. This new prj will contain a single pkg container 'virtualbox', which is just a _link back to Virtualization/virtualbox. That way the history is preserved, and it will continue to be the development pkg for Factory. Once this is move is done, unneeded repositories in Virtualization can be removed. This is supposed to reduce the burden for individual other packages which may target just Tumbleweed. Olaf

This project is now yours: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Virtualization:virtualbox I think the kbuild pkg can be removed again, unless SLE_12_SP5 is supposed to be a target. If it is, gsoup and byacc need to be added, and a few tweaks in prjconf need to be done to deal with the X11 package names. Olaf
