I read today that TrueCrypt 5.0 is out. I immediately checked BuildService and found 4 different packages:
project | version -----------------+------------------- home:vitsoft | 4.3a security:privacy | 4.3a + patches home:lluke123 | 5.0 home:bbendix | broken (no source)
I'm sure that this situation happens for other packages as well. Would it be possible to show some kind of warning when creating new package, like "package 'foo' already exists in project 'bar'" (with hyperlinks to package and project). But this would be just warning, so I still can my own build if I really want. I think this will bring several benefits (if users started to cooperate more): * reduced waste of human resources * reduced hardware requirements (disk space, build power) * increased quality of packages (more updates, current versions)
1. use the search 2. talk to the other packager(s) 3. talk to the other packager(s) 4. talk to the other packager(s) 5. start packaging yourself. that would be my solution for that problem. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
