Could be that some of the dropped packages really should be kept dropped ;-) But I'm sure that's not true for all. One example which come to my mind is synergy. I have no idea why it was dropped (hint, hint) but probably because it's more or less unmaintained but so far nobody was able to point me to a "supported" replacement.

Time has shown that the other approach (figuring everything out before we package in that repo) failed miserably. Get going.

How about going through the list of dropped packages since 10.3 or 11.0? Probably there are candidates (I know there is at least one I really want to see in Contrib) before dropping even more from Factory ;-) Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help(a)opensuse.org

Problem: There is work to be done Solution: Someone needs to work on it Apparently no one has any real interest in doing it. Otherwise someone would step up. There really is no need to iterate over the same point over and over and over again. Every repo lives and dies with its packagers. There is no one interested in packaging for Contrib. Everybody says its a good idea and that somebody should do it but apparently nobody does. Or to give it a bit more positive spin: If you want to work on Contrib and make this repo alive then get in contact with Pascal or Coolo who are the current maintainers of this project and package for it. Everything else we can figure out later. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
