distro-availble ecosystem of leading-edge software in well-if-not-officially maintained repos -- simply vanishes.
The key here is "not officially maintained". E.g., the community KDE team provides extra packages on additional repositories, but they come with *no support* as yes, things may break if upstream introduces changes, or patches have to been rebased, etc. In fact, that's why we prefer, where possible, to submit updates via the official distro mechanism (maintenance updates). And that's why at least we're not keen on auto-opening repositories for new distributions. Often packages need adjustments before doing so, and if done automatically this would just break a lot of users' software. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
