I don't want to flog a dead horse, and I'm also perfectly happy with the compromise we found, but the deprecation of JFS and now more recently LILO were clearly Novell decisions, not community decisions.
Let me ask differently: What do you consider a community decision? If one person complains loudly and the rest is silent? Should we vote for everything - and who should?
I guess the best answer is another question - how do other projects manage this?
I think perhaps the case of JFS was a good start - it's still part of YaST, yet clearly marked as unsupported. Why not do the same with e.g. LILO ? That way you leave the door open for someone to step in and take over the support. And maybe even submit a patch or two.
As Stano said: The yast-bootloader is a beast that needs to be simplified to reduce the complexity of it - and that's why we rip out lilo support. If there are some people that would like to stand up and take over the lilo support in yast-booloader and friends, then say it and discuss it with Stano!
I think that's cool - I might very well sign up for it. (not having had much luck with my first baby steps with GRUB today).
Yes, let's talk together with the YaST bootloader guys how to improve the situation. Stano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
