How to branch-checkout a broken package after Factory removal?
Hello! I want to fix the sawfish package in the X11:windowmanagers project but since the package has been removed from Factory, the development project currently contains a dangling link. Checking out the package with "osc co" works but not branch-checking out, at least I haven't found an easy way. Can someone point me to the standard way of doing that without having to have permissions for the X11:windowmanagers project? I already have a new sawfish package that builds in Factory. Adrian

Use -u (unexpand) so it won't process the _link: osc co -u X11:windowmanagers/sawfish Regards, ismail -- I do not fear death.

Yes, I already mentioned, I know how to do that for "osc co", but that trick doesn't work with "osc bco", unfortunately. Could maybe someone with access to the project fix the repository? Adrian

Indeed I fixed manually, should be working now. Regards, ismail -- In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. — Terry Pratchett SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg)

osc co -e -r 28 X11:windowmanagers sawfish works for me.
