I would like to propose extended split of GNOME:* package in addition to the solution discussed in past: GNOME:STABLE:{version}: Only the desktop and applications with GNOME release cycle or otherwise tightly related with GNOME. I guess this repository is a bit over-populated. GNOME:Backports:{version}: Other updates needed for seamless GNOME {version} work. Any packages can be placed there. Limiting build for affected distributions is possible as well. GNOME:Applications or GNOME:Applications_Factory (or any other name): GNOME or GTK+ applications that are not part of GNOME project. It can be a primary development place for these packages instead of GNOME:Factory multimedia:libs: Move there multimedia libraries and gstreamer. If their update is required, link or aggregate can be done to GNOME:Backports:{version}. Benefits: - Don't provide unchanged copy of particular package in many repositories. - Easy to update just the desktop. - gstreamer has nothing to do with GNOME. Its backport often requires several dependent library backports. All of them will be probably in multimedia:libs, but not in GNOME:*. Particular packages list that should go away: festival psiconv maybe intltool - These packages were added as backport for SuSE Linux 10.0 or so and stayed there up to now. Probably more such packages is still present. gegl babl libiptcdata: Move them to multimedia:libs. gimp*: Move to multimedia:photo. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
