Hi all,
Even if there is probably no one who reads opensuse-contrib and not opensuse- factory, I'd like to inform you about Henne's proposal about opening of Factory [1]. It will have an impact on Contrib repository, because it does not make a sense to have two identical projects for openSUSE. So it's important to start a discuss about future of Contrib too.
So from my POW, we have those possibilities: 1.) use the Contrib as one of devel projects for Factory
No.
2.) drop Contrib and move all packages to appropiate devel project and Factory
This can be done, but I guess we do not want everything in Factory.
3.) redefine a Contrib as a respository with less strict maintenance rules (eg. the "famous" version upgrades), because even if the Factory will be opened for community, every package must be maintained for cca 2 years (that means, three openSUSE releases + Factory). And community is not really interested on it.
I would say we still need a "Other" repository for the stuff that won't get into Factory and Contrib is still well suited for it. Stuff can be moved over or not, but there will be a need for it.
But this is just my POW, so your ideas are very welcome.
