[This is just a list of packages that are both in in
openSUSE:Factory:Contrib and in openSUSE:11.1 - some of the packages
might be disabled/not published in Contrib - I did not check]

I agree. If nobody else from the project maintainers volunteers to take
care of it, I will do that next week.

BTW I think we agreed to stop building oS:Factory:Contrib for 11.1
as soon as 11.2 is released, right?


Have a nice weekend,
