Hi all packagers,

I am maintaining a kernel module in the Contrib repository. With the recent kernel update for 11.1 I have noticed that the module's package does not get rebuilt (and therefore the automatic update refuses to update the kernel). Shouldn't we add "openSUSE:11.1:Update" to the list of "source repositories" (or whatever is the right name) for "openSUSE:Factory:Contrib/openSUSE_11.1"?

Yes, of course. I added the Update repo. But please remember, that this is just temporary and later openSUSE:Factory:Contrib will not contain any repos against older versions.

Yours, Radomir Cernoch

Thank you, this should work now... But -I'm just thinking- is there any point in keeping the non-updated 'Contrib/openSUSE_11.1' repository? Isn't it just wasting resources now?

There is no good reason, no. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org

Allright, changed it, so now we have only openSUSE_11.1 repo (which is including updates). Is there any policy about this? I think that majority of projects use repositories without Updates.

For most this is unimportant, since the ABIs do not change. Only for the ones with Kernel Modules there is any issue at this time. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
