FW: OpenSUSE devel:languages:go repositories for SLES 15 SP2 and SLES15 SP3
Dear All, I'm writing in regard to the OpenSUSE 'devel:languages:go' project. Me and my colleagues are managing a few hundreds of SLES 15 SP2 and SLES 15 SP3 machines, and we're using on all of them that project's repositories to be able to install the 'telegraf' package. We are fully aware that this repository doesn't guarantee availability of packages for older unsupported versions and that it is not a stable repository to be used in production environments, but we found ourselves in the situation that we depend, for business reason, to the availability of this package and currently we are unable to upgrade massively all this machines to SLES 15 SP4, for which this package is available in the repository. Using InfluxData's own official repository for RPM based distribution is not a viable option as well, as the telegraf package depends on the shadow-utils package, that is not available on SLES under that name (it is named 'shadow' and an issue to InfluxData is already open, from 2018). We're therefore asking you if there is any chance you can make available again the SLES SP2 and SP3 repositories for the 'devel:languages:go' project, so that we have some more times to plan an upgrade to SP4 and to evaluate other possibilities for installing the telegraf package on those machines.

I personally branched the packages I needed to my home project in OBS and enabled the necessary build targets. Rather than building devel:languages:go completely for 15.2 or 15.3 and wasting OBS resources. Just my 2 cents.
