In order to allow you to fix it, though, I have now used my superpowers and unlinked it from Factory - which makes it a standalone package again which you can branch.
Maybe this should be done automatically with every package that is dropped from Factory, because all packages are broken everywhere once dropped from Factory which lets us lose lots of unfinished work, like for example my attempt at helping to fix syslinux6 in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/869219
IMHO it is good when they break, because the package owners need to become aware that their source went away. It is not maintained there anymore and we can not decide what the proper solution is. (removing it as well, rebase on different package or fix and resubmit.)
BTW: wouldn't it be much more logical if Factory had links to the devel projects and not the other way round?
Factory is supposed to be the origin, after all reviews have happened. And not necessarly all changes need to go via devel projects, it is just a current policy. In any case, changes in devel projects should not affect factory directly. -- Adrian Schroeter <adrian@suse.de> Build Infrastructure Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany (HRB 247165, AG München), Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer
