Hello,
The policy is to remove all traces of that one to show the users that it does not exist anymore. Also the main ftp repo will go away, so even when you build something, it might not be installable, because of lack of the main ftp repo.
Bad policy.
I tend to agree.
Disk space is getting cheaper every day. So what prevents us from just leaving the 10.1 repository untouched after the official maintenance period ends ?
Indeed.
Adrian, do you remember the concept I circulated on a way to handle important content (which needs to be mirrored) and less important content (which doesn't need to be mirrored) about a year ago?
Care to resurrect that?
The point is that we do not want to support not supported distrubtions. This a global policy. I you do not like it please discuss it on -project. If people do stand up and say they are maintaining it, we can get it back. But in the past no one wanted to do that. As long this is the status quo, there is no need to discuss any other mirror mechanism IMHO. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
