Hi,
most packages in Factory which have been touched recently no longer carry the default %defattr(-,root,root) in the %files section.

Its desecration, not killing - you can not kill a dead one ;-) Its may be an issue for maintenance projects, but for most devel projects its pointless - IMHO having SLE11 in e.g. science is just a waste of resources: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor? utf8=%E2%9C%93&commit=Filter%3A&succeeded=1&failed=1&unresolvable=1&broken=1&blocked=1&dispatching=1&scheduled=1&building=1&finished=1&signing=1&locked=1&deleting=1&pkgname=&repo_SLE_11_SP4=1&repo_openSUSE_Factory_PowerPC=1&arch_i586=1&arch_x86_64=1&project=science&defaults=0 If you want to build a package from TW on SLE11, you have to cater for a lot of things. The policy targets updated packages, i.e. packages in devel projects, with new versions at least occasionaly. These will likely introduce new dependencies which are not available on older distributions anyway.
