If someone make a branch from my project, I am no longer able to change the repository layout anymore. An example from Java:openjdk6:Factory Failed to remove target 'SLE_11' Unable to delete repository; following repositories depend on this project: home:msmeissn:branches:Java:openjdk6:Factory/SLE_11 home:WernerFink:11.1/SLE_11 home:shahin_gh:branches:Java:openjdk6:Factory/SLE_11 That's worse because people did a branch can freely do any changes they want (unless someone make a branch). And mailing to all people do not work, I did that. I propose to change this approach and allow projects to change a repository layouts in any case. From project maintainer's perspective such step means - I'm no longer interested in such thing. I am aware this will break user's branches, because the dependent packages won't be available. On the other hand, users are able to build using any repository they want, so they can do the same for dropped repo as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
