It would have been nice to a least send out a warning, probably on a low traffic list like announce, that all 11.1 dependent targets and its packages are going to be killed of. That way, I would have been able to prepare a local mirror.
I don't think that "packages" have been deleted. perhaps the repository they have been build against. If you need to have them build again, there is a possibility to use "DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1"
No, not the packages. At least, I didn't notice. I'm pretty fed up, as I worked heavily on a project the last weeks, and when it come to rollout, I had to notice, that almost all repos, that I rely on, are gone. External and my own. I had boat loads of builds to targets like:
KDE_Distro_Stable_openSUSE_11.1, KDE_Distro_Factory_openSUSE_11.1
that all vanished. Or builds against the openSUSE_11.1 version of devel:language:python, that are all gone. Targets _and_ repos. Deleted.
And I was so silly to promote this service around the world. Oh, well.
I thought, that fascist operators from hell would had been an issue of the past. I failed.
Hey, that is not "new" that from time to time a dist gets "DISCONTINUED" ;)
Sure, but this time it hurts :-(..
