I have seen some overlap between out main distro and the two repos science and education. two examples are openmpi and various python components.
openmpi => develproject for openSUSE Factory is devel:libraries:c_c++ - The package in science is outdated, maintainer is jjolly, last one changing settings: ferichter in 2009. So maybe this can simply be removed. python: packages in Education repository should mainly be links to the devel:languages:python packages. Those are mostly there to avoid dependencies to the devel:languages:python repository if we need only a handfull of packages.
Can we decide a proper policy on how this things are handled... I propose that education inherits the main distro and focuses (as in their statement) on high school stuff.
Fine with me. Just two remarks: * packages where the Education repo is marked as develproject for openSUSE Factory must stay (but this is ok IMHO as you only might get newer packages) * packages that are needed as dependency for other packages might make problems as we do not want to include too many other repositories like server:php:applications or devel:languages:python as they might contain too many other stuff With kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
