Dropping tla is useless. It isn't updated TOO often, its size is MINIMAL, and it is used by several developers still.
0,5MB is small, but it isn't _minimal_, we have hundreds of such "minimal" packages. But that's not the point. tla is good enough by itself. But in a rapidly evolving environment (which openSUSE surely is) it accumulates bitrot. To be honest, i didn't know of any major projects still using arch. I'll check things out and possibly reconsider.
Besides, arch is now kind of obsoleted by your favorite variant of git. We thought that nobody uses tla by now (except maybe in legacy setups, but such setups usually don't need newest versions anyway).
You thought wrongly.
did you consider suggesting that sxemacs switches to git? ;) (ok, kidding now, i am fully aware that it isn't as simple as that)
I have experimentally set up a tla 1.3.5 package in the BuildService (can be seen in my home project, home:matejcik/tla). If somebody is interested in maintaining it, i will gladly hand it over.
I would gladly maintain it if I were given access to a box that had a clean openSuSE-factory install on it at all times. If you know how to get such a shell, I'll gladly take over packaging for tla
openSUSE's "build" tool can make a clean factory install in chroot for you every time you need one.
(if you REALLY can't find a valid reason to keep doing it yourself).
I'll be maintaining tla in the buildservice until someone takes over, don't worry about that. I'm only saying that it most likely won't stay in the "official" distro.
Also, how likely is it we could get a binary package of SXEmacs ? (I've asked this here before, but yeah.. I think it's a nice idea and I don't know how to use buildservice yet...)
not my call. but do learn to use the buildservice, you'll like it ;) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGI7sIjBrWA+AvBr8RAjYyAKCWQmgdAMV9fo3Qa5ijizqvbXAHHQCfQIdw zE2+q/NxNBQ1xjfELk4G9ZA= =loDY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
