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.
Then as the maintainer of that package no ones forcing you to drop the group you can keep it for as long as you need, but for those of us that are limited to calling osc mbranch and adding some more patches in our maintenance updates there's no reason not to drop them as we clean up our packages. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
