Most of the things, I have raised of late, *used* to work. That means I can't fix it --- because someone else will go in and undo the the fix. Why, for example, are spec files being recoded to included specific version dependencies when they used to not have them?
It USED to be the case that you didn't need a sterile build environment to build everything -- that was broken as well..
You don't strictly need it but it is a good thing that distribution building provides one so easily and requires distribution contributors (Factory!!!) to use it. For your private matters, you can do what you want.
I can't undo all the damage that is growing ... There are too many people ... it's the software version of the Tragedy of the Commons.
I don't see how this relates to factory but it's wrong. They're not depleting a free resource but actually contributing fixes for free.
Branch the package and add your chnages. Submit request it and get a review by the poeple maintaining it. Or file a bug report. --- I have filed bug reports.. they get closed out as "won't fixed or rejected as broken by design (i.e. old design is no longer supported, thus the bug report is "invalid".
You're still free to find fixes which don't interfere with mainstream interests. You're even free to fork openSUSE and maintain your own branch of it that suits special cases. But adding more messages of this type to factory list won't help. - -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer Tel.: +49-170-6381563 Mail: lang@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDHZaIACgkQCs1dsHJ/X7DGVgCeJM0Uzc9osgYsD6t3WJTfIIGL ku4AniTsCuzVbXAQ7cVro5tSoBXpJQfH =K38/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
