We could disable Leap-maintained as well, but I know that this will be too much work for some admins.

Packages that are exactly the same in openSUSE:infrastructure and Leap 15.3 according to "osc rdiff": - check_postgres - monitoring-plugins-bind9 - monitoring-plugins-count_file - monitoring-plugins-haproxy - monitoring-plugins-keepalived - monitoring-plugins-sar-perf

Hey, cool. This means that most of "my" packages ended in Leap :-) But if you disable/remove them, please keep in mind that you have to do a "migration" ("zypper dup" or an explicit "zypper install *")of these packages on the affected systems. Otherwise these packages will never see any update.

Packages with only minor differences between openSUSE:infrastructure and Leap 15.3: - nrpe (only diff is "/bin/bash" -> "/{usr/,}bin/bash" in the AppArmor profile - not relevant for Leap 15.x)

Fine with me to delete this as well.

I'll adjust the build targets of these packages in a week in nobody objects.

I'd say: salt might be our friend here, to get the local packages migrated to their Leap versions. Regards, Lars

mailman3 is running Leap 15.3 since two days ago.

Hey, GREAT to hear! :-) Looks like I missed some announcement somewhere? hint: I started to add my "Infra-Changes" to the next meeting ticket, which - at least for me - helps me to remember when and what I did. I'm fine, if we agree on another practice (like news.o.o article or news on progress.o.o) but we should find a way to tell other admins what is happening. Regards, Lars

Seems I missed to mention a "detail" in my proposal - I want to disable the build for Tumbleweed and >= 15.4 __only for the packages listed in my mail__. [Note: This mail has an updated list, scroll down.] Does that sound better to you? For the other packages (especially those that are not in Tumbleweed or Leap), it makes sense to keep the build enabled as you proposed:

=> Default enabled repos: * Tumbleweed * Leap-ng (as soon, as it exists)

FYI: 15.4 is already in OBS, so... ;-) (but please wait with adding it to the infra repo until I finished the cleanup)

* Leap-current (15.3 atm) * Leap-maintained (15.2 until end of this year)

=> Rest only on demand. We could disable Leap-maintained as well, but I know that this will be too much work for some admins.

Agreed.

I know, and that's why I'd keep them enabled for 15.3 and older so that we don't accidently" lock" these packages. When we zypper dup to 15.4, zypper should in theory ask for a vendor change.

Might also be an option, but it's more work than keeping 15.3 enabled and doing the vendor change when dup'ing to 15.4. BTW: There are some more packages that are in 15.3, but in an older version (and in some cases, it's the same version, but with less patches). I won't complain if someone pushes those packages to 15.4 so that we don't have to keep them in the infra repo. Which reminds me - I should run my script[1] again to compare 15.4 with the infra repo to see if some of them were already pushed ;-) Packages that are the same in Leap 15.4 and the infra repo (a few more than in the 15.3 vs. infra comparison): - apache2-mod_maxminddb - check_postgres - coturn - meson - monitoring-plugins-bind9 - monitoring-plugins-count_file - monitoring-plugins-haproxy - monitoring-plugins-keepalived - monitoring-plugins-sar-perf Packages with minor differences to Leap 15.4 that are not relevant for / not needed in the infrastructure repo: - nrpe (AppArmor profile change for /usr/bin/bash, see my previous mail) - nagios-rpm-macros (unbreak build for SLE 12 and RHEL 7, move macros.nagios to _rpmmacrodir) Any objections to disabling the build of these packages for >=15.4 and Tumbleweed? (We'll switch to the "official" packages on zypper dup.) Also, I'd say that we can/should disable the build for Tumbleweed for all packages that are linkpac'ed to openSUSE:Factory (because we get exactly the same package and only waste build power). Any objections? (I don't have a package list for that yet, and will probably have to check all linked packages manually. I'll send a report with the package list after doing the cleanup. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] what a big word for a few lines ;-) - but nevertheless, if someone is interested, I can share the script. -- Die erprobte Strategie der Managementmotivation im Operating [ist] eine, die ich gerne mit "Teile die Schmerzen" beschrieben möchte.
