[opensuse-packaging] OBS project cleanup candidates
Hi folks, during our never-ending quest in cleaning up OBS projects, I encountered some projects which could easily be merged: network:messaging (1 pkg) network:messaging:amqp (5 pkg) and Apache Apache:Modules Apache:MirrorBrain I'm sure there are other worthy candidates. IMO it's not worth keeping projects around which either belong together or contain less than 10 packages. Also, maintainers come and go (such as repositories to build against) and updating the meta-data for all those projects is tedious, if it happens at all. While we're at it I'm sure Adrian would appreciate it if we could move them into the devel: tree. -- With kind regards, Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Well, in "server:messaging" there should be only the server-side programs (deamons), similar to apache in server:httpd. "network:messaging" could be both, server and clients (gui+cli).

I don't know the answer so I can't correct you, but it's worth observing the description text for both projects: server:messaging: Packages related to e-mail and instant messaging. network:messaging: General message queue protocols and libraries. This suggests that the former is more concerned with user-oriented messaging in the application layer, whereas the latter is targetted at non-user messaging i.e. middleware. If that is incorrect, the descriptions should be updated (and it would be helpful if they were extended regardless, to minimise ambiguity). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
