Re: [opensuse-buildservice] Feisty image is broken

May I ask offtopic question: Why are you using 7.04, when 8.04 LTS is out ? Are there any advantages for 7.04 ?
-- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
Hello Alexey, I'm not using 7.04 personally. I maintain an upstream repository "The Scribus Archive" that contains scribus (stable 1.3.3.x) and scribus-ng (developmental 1.3.5svn) packages for Debian stable/testing/unstable and the latest three Ubuntu releases as a courtesy for Scribus users to allow them to stay current with the Scribus development and bugfixes as Ubuntu doesn't provide these updates. See http://www.scribus.net/?q=debian for more information. However, until recently I didn't have access to an x86_x64 build environment, so I only provided i386 packages I built locally. Using OBS I can add the amd64 packages to the archive. There is very little overhead for me to support three releases as opposed to one or two and not all users strive to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu release, especially in the production environment where they can't afford to loose time on working around the latest Ubuntu bugs as well. Therefore, I currently make packages for U 8.04, 7.10, and 7.04. Cheers, Alex. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

What a nice testimonial about the build service! Really, I'm glad to read that you find it helpful in this way. I think this give a really good example and should IMO be cited verbatim at some prominent place :-) Peter -- Contact: admin@opensuse.org (a.k.a. ftpadmin@suse.com) #opensuse-mirrors on freenode.net Info: http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Infrastructure SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
