Hello people,
I'd like to delete all package from GNOME:UNSTABLE to avoid people using old, stale, broken stuff. G:U, as explained [1] is only going to be used once Factory is frozen prior to the next openSUSE release.
If you have any packages in there that you need, can you please copy them somewhere else. I plan on removing all packages in a weeks time.
Also, as a side note, GNOME:Factory:Next have now been removed and people should be using GNOME:Factory instead.
Thanks, Magnus

It followed factory in past. I guess that there is nothing that is not elsewhere.
I guess that GNOME:STABLE GNOME:GTK:* may be deleted as well. (It will break gimp rebuild for older openSUSE versions in multimedia:graphics, but it could be easily worked around.

GNOME:STABLE contains what was in openSUSE 11.1 and is suppose to be updated to latest 2.24.x (already have a few updates like evo in there) so we want to keep it.
If GNOME:GTK.* is causing issues it'd be good to fix it or get rid of it. I'm not involved in that one so I'll leave that up to you :-)
Cheers, Magnus

I still think, that GNOME:STABLE is a bad name. Maybe we just follow SVN-style development and create trunk (Factory) and stable branches (GNOME_2_24 or so). Each of these "stable" branches may live for some time, then silently die. Subscribing to GNOME:STABLE introduce large upgrade time after time, which may be considered as unwanted.

It does not cause any problem. It's simply unmaintained. I brought it for packages, which need newer GTK+, but not whole GNOME (e. g. GIMP).
Maybe linking to G:S would be a solution as well.

Yeah, let me add ;build_compare' to that repo. Should ease the pain a bit. As far as the repo names go, they were discussed in a different email thread [1] a while ago.

In that case, we should get rid of it. I suppose you have maintainer rights to simply delete the whole project?

I'd think that we could use G:U for this instead? I mean, we will have the latest GIMP in G:F for now, but as soon as verion freeze comes in to the picture, we will start updating in G:U until Factory freeze is over.
Cheers, Magnus
