branching broken package
X11:lxde/mtpaint is broken, because it's linked to openSUSE:Factory, but it was removed from there. It's still possible to see original files under "Show unmerged sources" link in web ui. If I try to branch it, I get an error: BuildService API error: failed to branch: openSUSE:Factory/mtpaint: package 'mtpaint' does not exist Is it possible to branch it in a way that would give me unmerged sources?

I don't think that is currently possible. the API tries to expand it to branch out. 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. cheers, Dominique

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 BTW: wouldn't it be much more logical if Factory had links to the devel projects and not the other way round?

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.)

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.

right, technically it is possible to create a copy though.
Fix it in the new place and then submit the unexapnded sources back
to resolve the conflict via a submit request.
It needs atm some manually fiddeling with the srcmd5 sums in the request,
but would work. We could make this easier with osc though, if wanted ...
