Can packages in 11.4 standard or update repositories build against packages provided in the tumbleweed update repository.? I've filed bnc#696826 about 11.4's lv2core-devel's lv2config being unable to function due to a lack of package python-redland. The LV2 plugin system cannot be used at all if the package can't build against lv2core and slv2, I submitted new packages lv2core, slv2 and an updated redland package that included the python bindings before 11.4's release, lv2core is in the 11.4 distribution but slv2 is still in review, here is it's history : 62079 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-18T16:30:51 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory note: obsoleted by submitreq 62078 From: plater(new) Descr: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 62078 State:review By:coolo When:2011-03-28T16:14:46 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) -> saschpe(review) Descr: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 60049 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-18T16:30:43 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) Descr: Add slv2-0.6.6-licencefix.patch to remove file with conflicting GPLv2 statement in the header.

This package is the other part of the slv2 lv2core needed for openSUSE packages to use the LV2 plugin system and compliments submit request sr#59624 the home url for this package is http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/ apart from the url and licence all of the other relevant information is contained in submit request id 59624 and this is sr#62078 the last request which is still open : Request #62078: submit: multimedia:libs/slv2(r5) -> openSUSE:Factory/slv2 Message: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 State: review 2011-03-28T16:14:46 coolo Comment: run checker Review: new darix None None None Please decide accepted None factory-auto 2011-03-29T16:16:48 coolo Builds for all Factory repos found Output of check script (non-fatal): History: review 2011-03-18T10:39:07 saschpe new 2011-02-18T16:18:50 plater This last request effectively blocks slv from even going into factory. There was a comment made in a reply during one of my many emails pleading for slv2 to be accepted that it was a duplicate of a Packman package and I replied that it's purpose was to enable multimedia applications to build with support for LV2 plugins and openSUSE packages cannot build against Packman packages. I'm busy updating qtractor from 0.7.8 to 0.7.9 the earlier version would have been in 11.4 had slv2 been present and now it seems that version 0.7.9 is also going to be blocked.

Maybe I violated an openSUSE rule inadvertently but if nobody explains what it was I may do it again. I'm passionate about openSUSE multimedia and I feel that it presents an important face of openSUSE.
