no the real question is: who deleted the packages we had in openSUSE:Tools at some point? because the ruby project wasn't needed in the past.
They were deleted because they were dated relative to factory but not relative to sle10. So the sle10 build target relies on the ruby project, while the factory target doesn't. it would be stupid to copy code. it's like hard linking glibc in, "so it doesn't change": I want it to change. I want to benefit from the patch updates it recieves. but I donÄt want it to break my stuff. Collaboration between projects is not well defined yet, so I don't blame the ruby project to pretend nobody relied on what they are doing (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-06/msg00089.html) Imagine disabling factory 11.0: "we have 11.1 now. nobody should use that anymore." that's how disabling the ruby project is coming accross right now. thx for consideration. -- 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.

Anyway, packages could be aggregated in that repo or?
ruby packages in the obs project? the problem is: the ruby packages aren't there any more; the ruby project is disabled currently; so where would I aggregate them from? and the current factory ruby is not available for sle10, is it? why was the ruby project disabled? -- 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.

No. If you link packages you are not copying code. That is not how the openSUSE build service work. If you link packages from factory to your OBS_SLE_10 repo, you are just rebuilding them, and they get updated as soon as the source package is updated.
I had a link to a specific source revision in mind, because that's the only way you can be sure no incompatible update will kill you, and that was one of the discussions I've had. So if a project like ruby was comitted to create a new package if incompatible changes come (like rails-1, then rails-2), even in that case, the package rebuilt as many times as there are links to it. IMNSHO explicitely linking in these base packages is a work-around for the point I'm trying to make: How do we want to interconnect projects? btw, for the time being we'll link in the missing packages. have to ;) -- 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.
