Hi Martin,
My TW update today silently removed the emacs-magit package, which I heavily depend upon for my daily work.
just in case you weren't aware of that workaround, let me mention that you can install that package quickly on your system by running M-x package-install magit in Emacs. This will also give you a much newer and more feature-rich version than the one TW used to have.
Worse, the package in the "editors" repo is also broken, as it links to the not-anymore- existing package in openSUSE:Factory.
I believe Martin Pluskal has fixed that issue already. The trick is to delete the "_link" file.
The OBS log bluntly tells "The build depends on the broken emacs-dash package and I no longer use (or maintain) magit.".
Yes, the build of emacs-magit had been broken for quite a while. Fixing those issues looked like an effort I wasn't prepared to take on, so I decided to request the removal of those packages from TW.
I don't recall having seen a call for a new maintainer for this package anywhere, nor a discussion whether this package could/should be ditched.
You are right. I did not post to this list beforehand, and I probably should have. I didn't realize that emacs-magit was particularly important to anyone. I thought the fact that it had been broken for a long time without anyone caring about it would be a pretty good indication that emacs-magit could be dropped -- especially considering it's so incredibly easy to get a newer and better version from within Emacs. Anyway, if anyone is willing to maintain that package, then please request maintainership on OBS [1] and I'll be happy to transfer those rights and privileges.
