Those are leaf packages that are not very critical, so probably would not be covered by openQA even if they were in Factory. Yes, they might break once in a while, but since there is only one source-code (as opposed to differing versions for 13.1, 13.2, 42.1 and Factory), it would be a lot easier and faster to fix. The point is that there are probably fewer users and thus it makes sense to have a workflow that requires less effort for the maintainer.
Or if we want to go without such a "Contrib" repo, and submit everything to Factory, we still want a Backports repo where we build all the new applications for older openSUSE versions, so that more people can use and test the new stuff.
and I guess, if we really want to, we could still add a staging+openQA ontop of either such Contrib or Backports repo.
Ciao Bernhard M.
Then lets get all those packages you are considering into Tumbleweed first Then we can talk about the possibility of a 'contrib' repo for older distributions. I think there is a debate to had there whether a collection of untested, separately maintained packages is a good idea - even debian is slowly abolishing 'contrib' and moving everything to main. I think we should do the same, starting with Tumbleweed first -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
