The following packages have been failing to build on Factory for more than 30 days. This is a reminder for anybody that could be interested in any of them. Any package failing to build for more than 100 days will be dropped from openSUSE. [...] This is a test. Please give some feedback. Anything to improve? [...]

Maybe - add a meaningful "Subject"?

Yes, my fault.

- lower initial warning threshold from 30 to, say, 7 -- without analysis, to allow "catching" the offender, especially when nothing changed in the packet itself.

Would somebody consider 7 days too annoying?

- analysis might be worthwhile after 30 days - dropping should happen more than 8 days from initial warning and never be "automatic", or is this only a "threat"? (Some packages should simply never be dropped -- having a previous build of 'elilo' is much better than none at all!)

The "100 days" part comes from this message from Coolo (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-10/msg00262.html). - It's not something new. Not documented anywhere but apparently has been done for some time - It's not automatic, as shown by the fact that the list includes packages that have been failing for way longer. So take it as an approximation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
