http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159041 Bug ID: 1159041 Summary: Leap 15.2 drop requests Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: christophe@krop.fr Reporter: lnussel@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: lubos.kocman@suse.com, mlin@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hey Christophe! thanks for your efforts to take care of Leap. I see you filed a bunch of drop requests for things you consider obsolete. Please keep in mind that 15.2 is a service pack level upgrade. In general the version of the distribution must be considered 15. Users do not expect stuff to break when upgrading between minor version. So just as we try hard to not take away programs from people via maintenance we shouldn't do that in service packs either. The fact that we can do technically should be the exception not the rule. So not maintained upstream anymore or dropped from Factory is not a reason for the Leap 15 series to drop a package. As long as the software works we need to keep it. If the software in question never worked we can just as well get rid of it of course. So I need your confirmation on the following packages on whether they are just dropped for being unmaintained or linking against qt4, or they are actually broken ie unusable: H2rename Qross fate (fate is still used by some departments in SUSE AFAIK) jovie kaccessible kate4-parts kdesdk4-scripts keepassx kepas klinkstatus konsole4-part kpassgen kppp kremotecontrol kuser kvkbd kvpnc libjreen libkdegames4 libkqoauth python-pyside python-pyside-tools tomahawk The following look fine as they are replaced by other bits: jag-level-editor qgo Also, any dropped or replaced packaged should be mentioned in the release notes at https://github.com/openSUSE/release-notes-openSUSE/tree/Leap_15.2/xml -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
