1. breaking consistency of installed (non suse) rpms So be it, if we start adding conditions like supporting/caring for foreign rpms it becomes a never ending list of scenarios. You not only don't support what user is doing on his machines but even don't care about it? Nice attitude. If backwards compatibility was our primary concern we would wind up like Windows, whom it is a high priority for. Having OBS and letting users add custom repos or even build own stuff is one of the major features of openSUSE. It's pronounced at many official openSUSE pages. OBS is an automation system, and as such can be adjusted to help the user in this scenario. Foreign RPM refers to say one for redhat or one of the Google RPMs. Perhaps you should at least _try_ to take a bit care to not break official use cases. This care is taken as far as I understand from reading by symlinking the old locations to the new. Filling up existing directories with files is a very very usual thing done by many users. Somehow you should care about these files while you are rampaging through /. That's all I wanted to say and does not mean that I'am fully against the merge.
cu, Rudi Ya know, I've been doing a bit a research... History and such and it's caused me to look quite a bit at what it is I like about Opensuse. One major thing I like is tight adherence to standards... Little things like FHS and LSB. These have been thoroughly hashed out over time and, in my opinion, have resulted in a solid, dependable system. While this proposed change may *seem* like a good thing on the surface, it doesn't feel like it's been wrung out enough.
Just my opinion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
