Understanding when/why a package seems to have been removed from OBS
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask such a question, please direct me to appropriate channels if that is the case. Previously I have been a user of the related packages mingw64-libnova-devel and mingw64-libnova; which I'm sure were available about 1 year or so ago, which used to be under: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/windows:mingw:win64 However, they are no longer listed - so I'm wondering what happened to them? AFAIK they don't have any reason to be obsoleted / unmaintained. The standard openSUSE factory version is still available: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/libnova If necessary, I will recreate a suitable .spec file to generate the mingw versions myself, but it would be nice if I didn't need to recreate such an item. IIRC the spec for the Windows version seemed quite straight-forward - i.e. the cross compile worked without any additional changes. My own web searches have come up blank for a version of this .spec file (and indeed that mingw variants were in OBS at all). Thanks for any information on this matter. -- Be Seeing You - Rob. If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you.

Interesting, I must have been miss-remembering. Luckily I managed to find an old Virtual Machine which had my previous work on it. So I've tidied that up, submitted the package and is now available: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw:win64/mingw64-libnova -- Be Seeing You - Rob.
