Are all projects really supposed to pushed out of home projects once they're stable.
For instance:
I have a OBS home project for open2300. It has very few users and I would not be shocked to find out no one but me has downloaded it, but to my knowledge it is the only place to download a installable package, instead of source.
(ie. The home page for the project used to only reference the source. Its a wiki, so I built the package via OBS in my home directory and edited the wiki page to refer to it.)
Is something with that small an audience really supposed to be pushed into a more formal repo? If so, which one in my case?
fyi: open2300 is a program for reading the data records of a LaCrosse Weather Station via rs-232 port.

I don't think this proposal is about stopping people from distributing packages via home projects altogether. Instead it is about ensuring users do not unintentionally stumble on a home project via search.oo or similar.
yes.
This will make it safer to say "just go search for it on search.oo", which right now it is not, because there are development and broken versions visible, and a malicious packager can easily trick the unsuspecting into using bad packages by recreating popular packages in their home project.
If you are linking to the home project on external wikis etc. this will do nothing to change that AFAIK.
Exactly. If some upstream project is recommending any project and you trust this upstream project it should be save to use it. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
