would there be interest for a repository with packages dropped from the distribution? My idea is a readonly repository with no build targets that packagers could link to (like openSUSE:factory), patch if needed and rebuild for newer distributions. I would take care of updating the repository in case of security updates.
I don't think that's necessary, as these packages can be included in any project anyway. I for example have ncompress and pixieplus in my home project, which both have been dropped by openSUSE distribution.
Getting an old SRPM and restart with it is possible in any case.
But the latest pre-drop source is not publicly available, isn't it? Only the published distribution version is. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
