: I personally agree that packages that could also be on build.opensuse.org should go there instead of being in the Packman repository but, unfortunately, not everyone in the Packman team agrees. because i don't want to split my packages in thousand repos on OBS. An example: I stopped building claws-mail on PackMan because it is in Gnome/Apps. After that i get many mails why i don't build it on PM anymore: "it was nice to have that in PM-Repo so it could be installed without add more repos...."
And, furthermore, to reduce duplication of work, we always have the
option to move the packages over to build.o.o and _link them on Packman.
That way, updates and patches are shared and only done once, but we can
still provide the packages in the Packman repository ;)
(but it still consumes build power on our infrastructure and doesn't
alleviate the problem of people using Packman for multimedia also
getting updates for those)
