Sorry for the rant that follows, but something seems terribly wrong at the moment with the processes we as hobby packagers have to follow.
I really, really, really get frustrated over the time sr takes.
Now my sr for r-base, a package that made it into 11.4 and now had an upstream update, lasts for 20 days after I changed the licences string to gplv2+. Before I had one or two further tries to get the same new upstream version into 12.1., which went faster but ended in rejections.
On irc I was told today "shouldn't take too much longer". Fantatstic.
If this continues I see r-base out of 12.1 again. The time differences between milestones are smaller than the time it takes for a single sr?! How is this supposed to work?!
R-base is huge and license texts are hard to read - even for lawyers. And the legal team decided that it wants to review all license changes. My guess is that they will soon regret that decision and I visit them every day as I can see not only your frustration. But that's all I do at the moment ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
