Because it does not fit your needs? Any evidence that disregarding the number of packages is more valid?
By assuming that every KDE:KDE3 user installed all 480 packages in just 3 weeks you got 2% of users to use KDE3 repository. By assuming a more realistic (but still too high) number that an average KDE:KDE3 user installed or updated 24 to 48 packages from KDE:KDE3 you came to a ten or twenty-time greater number of 20 to 40% of openSUSE users who used that repository. Just for example, a KDE3 LiveCD by Marcus Moeller http://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/12/02/opensuse-12-1-kde3-livecd/ includes 35 KDE3 packages. KDE3 1-click install pattern includes 56 packages These are typical configurations that are needed for an average desktop usage. Needless to say that all of them included in the main repo so there is no need to install them from KDE:KDE3. A KDE3 user only have to install from KDE:KDE3 those packages that are not in the main repo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
