The mass submits of Haskell into openSUSE:Factory are worrying. In the old days, if a CPAN package was missing, that was unfortunate, but easily fixable: make one. Automatically converted packages later started showing up in devel:languages:perl:CPAN-*. Obscure packages that no one ever cared about or even considered using for just a single minute never entered Factory, and all was great.
Submitting devel:languages:haskell (or devel:languages:perl:CPAN) unattended-ly is worrying. Except of course than CPAN is -not- submitted to Factory like haskell at all. I find it highly questionable to submit every possible bitrotten Hello World module on the planet that has ever been made. That is certainly what it feels like.
Just something to think about.
Jan, I have to say I am bit confused. Your post is rant, request for help, or something else entirely? To answer it a bit. 1) I would say nobody forced you to become reviewer or to actually review all the submissions for Factory. Nothing easier for you than just simply ignore anything comming from ghc repo. OTOH If the review team is overloaded we already offered help in the past as a packagers team and were ignored. So if the situation changed we can add at least 8 additional reviewers... 2) Those pointless packages you see are actually used by other parties, even including SLES users via PackageHub, thus I would quite seriously say that stating they are random obscure package is not really nice. Following that logic you are actually saying that submissions from some other author are less desirable than others (simply because you don't se a point in them) and that is really unacceptable. How would YOU personaly feel if someone started to complain about your group/description submissions as needless clutter they have to review eh?
