Hi, For years the whole patterns story was a very sad one. It was under-documented, in a strange format, spread over several strange files, generated by crude scripts, .... And this has changed now with a rather bold move in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/220699 All scripts are gone - patterns-openSUSE is just yet another package and the solver will see what packages in the repository provides pattern(). This has several consequences: - patterns are tracked in OBS and no longer in github - I'll need to spend quite some time to redo the package list tracking for Lives and DVDs, but I'll gladly work on that ;) - we can actually split the patterns-openSUSE package into logical groups The last one is very important - it means we can e.g. have patterns-openSUSE-kde.spec in K:D:F and patterns-openSUSE-gnome.spec in G:F without the teams having to go through me to update their desktops. All that matters in the end is that their packages provide "pattern() = <DESKTOP>". Of course we don't have to, but I like the idea of being able to do that ;) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
