Hi,
currently, I'm facing the problem of how to merge two separate packages into one. In my example, it's the (Java) packages jing and trang.
It doesn't make sense anymore to maintain them separately. Upstream develops it in a single repository so it makes sense to do the same in OBS.
Following upstream is always a good reason
So my idea was to combine both into a "jing-trang" package project on OBS which creates the two RPM packages jing and trang as output. See [1] for the details.
Now, I'm wondering how to proceed.
Should I submit the jing-trang to Java:packages first and do a delete request for jing and trang afterwards? Or should there be a bug report at the first place to refer to it in the changelog?
Is this openSUSE-only or also relevant for SLE? If openSUSE-only, the requirements for bug reports is much lower (unless you target maintenance releases) - for such package rework, a bug is not nescessary and you can just submit the new package to Java:packages and from there to openSUSE:Factory, together with the delete requests (The del req on the devel prj can only be accepted once the packages disappear from openSUSE:Factory) Cheers, Dominique
