For now: Richard and Yaloki asked for contrib-unstable branch. Let's discuss it. What is the advantage of contrib-unstable over users OBS anyway ?
I think this lowers the number of people testing it even more. And home:* is the unstable branch of contrib in the general case, so I see little use of it. And after all, it's only developed against Factory and Factory alone has not enough users to split it.
Plus: * it's one more possible source of error for packagers (package A newer in contrib than in contrib-unstable, package B in contrib but not in contrib-unstable, package C building fine in contrib-unstable, but not in contrib) * it's one more possible source of confusion when reporting and dealing with bugs ( "The splash screen in package D is not green!" "Are you sure you have the latest version? I fixed that last week" "I did 'zypper in D' and it's still not green!" "Oh, are you using the stable repository perhaps?") Also, I think all of us will be happy if we attract enough packagers and have some 100+ packages in the beginning. If massive amounts of changes to Contrib turn out to be a problem later, we can always create -unstable then.
So I'm pretty much against that suggestion.
Me too, at least for now. Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
