The general opensuse advice is to use extreme caution when loading packages from home directories like

There is no oversight at all of what's in there, so there quality is totally random from the end-user viewpoint.
One can say a similar thing for the Kernel:HEAD or X11:Xorg. The subject of the message says experimental. If one is willing to experiment then will do so regardless of where the package comes from. If one is desperate for shorewall, then the rpm or tar.(gz|bz2) are always accessible from the shorewall website even I did not send the previous mail. Nevertheless, I understand your point of view and concern.
So, in general, once a package is to a point where you want to have it available for public consumption, you should submit it to a devel repo. The devel repo will typically have a default set of maintainers, but as the submitter, you should also be added to your specific project.
Thanks for the reminder. It is in my TODO, but I should have done that before announcing it my bad. Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
