Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #313861, revision 3 Title: Drop Gnome3.x support openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: saulo aldighieri moraes (saul0) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Gnome 3 is losing the audience and most of OpenSuse users are using KDE. So removing Gnome3 desktop packages like gnome-shell, gnome-panel, metacity, etc (not apps like evolution, gimp..) from default distro repo will reduce work in maintenance. But Gnome can stay in a separate repo supported by Gnome contributors. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2012-08-02 00:35:58) + I see absolutely zero reason to have GNOME - or any other package(s) - + dropped from the oss repo based solely on "high maintenance" costs. If + the GNOME package maintainers do not want to do updates, they can just + leave the package as-is. There is no win in making life harder for + those wanting it by having them to add yet another repo. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313861
