Hallo, in a past I've accepted few of your changes, which enables the build of some java packages for other distros. But as I thought, this is not really compatible with our Factory process and for a long term I am pretty sure I don't want to maintain spec files with a crufty %if %else sections. see https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/143568 as an example Therefor I am going to change the layout of Java repos and will create Java:Factory as a pure Factory devel project, where no cross-ports neither backports to old (open)SUSE releases will be accepted. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-java/2012-07/msg00000.html for a details. As you seems to be interested on it, I will gladly add you as a maintainer of a new project. Your first task, if you will accept this challenge, will be a pick a new name for the project. Alternativelly we might stay with Java:packages name - I am sure I saw that in some recommended third party repo lists. This approach has some advantages for you as well - for example you can hide some of the %if 0%{?distro_foo} into the project configuration. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_prjconf Regards Michal Vyskocil
