[opensuse-kde] Removing KDE:Community repository
You are receiving this mail because you are set as a maintainer or bugowner for the KDE:Community repository or a package present there. Any possible discussion should happen on the opensuse-kde@opensuse.org mailing list. To finish the reorganization and cleanup of the KDE repositories, the KDE:Community repository will be either renamed or removed (after a grace period). The reasons for this are: - KDE:Community contains software based on KDE3. Since openSUSE distribution no longer supports KDE3 and the KDE:KDE3 repository is poorly maintained, it is assumed that the majority of packages in KDE:Community is in a similar situation. For the KDE3 parts that are still maintained it would make sense to consolidate this effort only in one repository. - The naming of KDE:Community is based on the obsolete notion of community and "non-community" packages, which no longer applies to openSUSE, thus the name of the repository is obsolete and pointless. There are roughly these options: - You maintain a package in KDE:Community which is not KDE3/Qt3-based and you wish to continue maintaining this package - please move the package to a more appropriate repository (such as the KDE:Extra repository, see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_Extra_repository). - You maintain a package in KDE:Community which is KDE3/Qt3 based and you wish to continue maintaining this package - please move the package to the KDE:KDE3 repository. You can ask for the opensuse-kde mailing list for any help such as getting maintainer rights for a package there (or even the whole repository if you are willing to help maintaining it, see http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3). - You don't care - just leave it as it is, the package will be eventually removed together with the repository. - Some other option - use the opensuse-kde mailing list for discussion. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
