There was a ton of confusion at the last second on the layout for openSUSE Leap 15.3 due to lack of communication by the Build Service team,
---- As I am part of the Build Service team, I can not do more than to completely disagree here. While my team is running the Build Service and develops the needed tools around it, we are - in no case - responsible for the content that is created by our customers. I guess you would not complain against your car company, if you expect a parcel to get delivered and the postman did not find your house, right? ;-) OBS delivered - as usual. If we don't do this, you are free to claim this to me directly - even in public. But my team is too often used as excuse, because other people don't do their jobs. I have to step up here to protect them. ---- I already suggested to get rid of this historic ftp-stage directory and all the overlays and symlinks and scripts and ...(code archaeology anyone?) in the backend of download.opensuse.org. But neither I nor my team is officially responsible for this machine. Instead, to me it looks like nobody (neither ReleaseEng, who did the job before, nor the openSUSE heroes, nor anyone else) wants to touch anything on this machine any longer. Maybe it's time to create a successor download.o.o from scratch to get rid of all the inherited burden from the last 15 years? - I vote for this, but I think we should clarify first who takes over the responsibility of this openSUSE core service in the future. I have two sayings for the current situation: * too many cooks spoil the broth * responsibility has to be clear - and can not be shared with kind regards, Lars
