Hi, I've just noticed that the package python-ReportLab is in openSUSE:Factory:Contrib. Problem with that is that the package is on 11.1 as well and therefore it can cause an update of the original package. I think this shouldn't be the case. I also know that contrib is only built for testing reasons for 11.1 at all but still up to now it was the only possibility to use contrib at all so I would propose to just unpublish and disable the build for 11.1 for that package.

I agree. If nobody else from the project maintainers volunteers to take care of it, I will do that next week. BTW I think we agreed to stop building oS:Factory:Contrib for 11.1 as soon as 11.2 is released, right?

Maybe (I don't remember), but I wonder why we should do that. The only "advantage" would be to piss off 11.1 users... My proposal: The Contrib 11.2 branch should also be built for 11.1. This can be done inside the 11.2 branch or with a separate 11.1 branch: - a separate branch would probably be more visible for users - building it in the 11.2 branch would save doubled work since the same sources would be used For future releases, the question won't arise because we then we already have a contrib repo for the (then) previous release.

I don't like openSUSE:11.2:Contrib built for 11.1, creating openSUSE:11.1:Contrib seems more consistent to me, but will require more maintainance effort ... -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org

Or to make them update to 11.2 :)

I've just went through the list of packages mentioned above and disabled building of them for 11.1. I've also noticed there are some packages that are both in Factory and Contrib: autotrace diald gdome2 json-glib latex2html libunique mairix python-distutils-extra python-feedparser python-simplejson So I've also disabled building of these for Factory. Their maintainers should decide what to do with them - such packages should be either dropped from Contrib or from Factory (http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib#Rules_for_the_repository) Last thing I'd like to point out is that I came across several packages that - do not have assigned bugowner - define non existent devel project - have invalid URL in the metadata ('PUT URL HERE' or so) I've fixed some of the problems, but I'm sure that many still remain. So please try to take a look at your packages [ osc meta pkg [-e] openSUSE:Factory:Contrib package ] and fix any inconsistencies. Ahh, the very last :) thing: thanks to Adrian Schroeter the openSUSE:11.2:Contrib project is ready (still empty, of course).
