[opensuse-buildservice] resources being wasted?
I went looking to see if a patch to fix the broken ATI Xorg driver had been applied anywhere in BS homes by first searching https://software.opensuse.org/package/xf86-video-ati for any that might exist, downloading those I found, then examining their changelogs. The most recent build found had only two changelog entries, both 3 years old. None of the other 3 had any changelog entries dated more recent than 03 October. Why are people getting drivers rebuilt that contain no changes from release builds? What am I missing? Relevant bug with proposed patch: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94171 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Just guessing, some parts of drivers may need to be rebuilt to fit recent kernel versions. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer Tel.: +49-170-6381563 Mail: lang@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537

Well, I know I'm doing a bad thing, but I'm actually not updating the changelog unless my experiment finished successfully. So that may be the case, you really have to compare the spec files and sources instead. -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
