: I've certainly declined all SRs removing Groups from my packages, they are supposed to stay the same for SLE11/12/15 and there groups are still shown. And of course I'm of the same opinion like Jan, instead of removing metadata and replacing them by nothing (which of course is a mass change that's easy to do) if anything it should be fixed if necessary. According to the fate, dropping them for SLE-15sp2 is fine
It would be naive to think that just because we release SLE15 SP2 (which is still months away), we can forget about earlier service packs.
Yes but the work flow is different, for many packages this removal could happen now at the maintainers discretion because the spec file as it is in factory will never be copied directly into a maintenance update.
This is not true. Quite some of the packages I maintain are kept in a way to be reused everywhere and this also happens for maintenance updates.
Yeah, me too. Those cleanups are really annoying in that light since
they make packages not build on SLE anymore (for example removing
BuildRoot breaks build on SLE11, removing defattr breaks build on SLE12).
If it's called Factory-first then we should live to that promise and
make Factory packages accepted (by checkers, linters and syntax-wise)
by products we still need to maintain (for example by updating those
checkers, linters and rpm).
