[opensuse-kde] Multiple obs packages with the same source

17 Sep 2011

      I notice in several cases there are several OBS packages with the same
source files but with multiple spec files.  Examples include
kdegames4/kdegames4-carddecks and kdebase4-workspace/python-kdebase4.
These seem to make the packages more complicated, harder to maintain,
and require additional build resources since everything needs to be
built twice.  Is there a reason for this separation that overrides the
difficulties?  If not I can merge them back together.

I know something like this wouldn't be done for no reason, but I
thought it was possible that these were carried over from earlier days
when spec files lacked capabilites they have now (like noarch
subpackages) and no one had been seen it as enough of a difficulty to
change.
