Unfortunately, a split was going to be required no matter what, especially if openSUSE was going to become its own legal entity (w.r.t. the Foundation). It would be insane to not be able to be responsible for our own accounts data.

okay, but this is a very large and long term task. Nothing what can be done in next days.

Well, we are doing it, how big of a slip do you foresee for OBS then.

Frankly, I do not want even discuss it these days. We (or better the eng-infra team) are working on the successor of the MF login system which can be used as a plugin replacement. This has been clarified between various teams, the board and legal wise meanwhile. (keep in mind that user data belongs to someone and can not be copied easily between entities). Sorry, but I do not have time atm to even discuss any alternative approach. We can do so in a few weeks, but this stuff needs planing and can not get thrown over the fence. And I see it very confusing (read harmful) when we announce two independend identity management systems at the same time for systems which used the same before. -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
