Hi The Education repository on build.opensuse.org linked some python-* packages from devel:languages:python since a couple of months. As the amount of packages linked (or copied) from the devel:languages:python repository was growing over the time, we decided to add the devel:languages:python repository as "build repository" instead to avoid confusion (which package is "newer") and reduce the needed build power (linked packages are always built in the source _and_ in the target project). What does that mean for packagers in the Education repository? * If your package needs some package which is (only) available in the devel:languages:python repository, nothing needs to be done: you benefit from the new setup directly. * If you like to package a Python application or you need a new Python package to build your package, please use the devel:languages:python repository for this, if possible. What does that mean for end users of the Education repository? * If they add the Education repository via the "1-click-installation" on software.opensuse.org search, the devel:languages:python repository will be added automatically to their repositories. * If they add the Education repository via YaST Module, the devel:languages:python repository will NOT be added automatically. I'm currently unsure if we should change this - your comments are welcome! What does that mean technically? ~>osc meta prj Education | grep -A 3 12.1 shows now: <repository name="openSUSE_12.1"> <path repository="standard" project="openSUSE:12.1:NonFree"/> <path repository="openSUSE_12.1" project="devel:languages:perl"/> <path repository="openSUSE_12.1" project="devel:languages:python"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> With kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-edu+owner@opensuse.org
