: I personally agree that packages that could also be on build.opensuse.org should go there instead of being in the Packman repository but, unfortunately, not everyone in the Packman team agrees. because i don't want to split my packages in thousand repos on OBS. An example: I stopped building claws-mail on PackMan because it is in Gnome/Apps. After that i get many mails why i don't build it on PM anymore: "it was nice to have that in PM-Repo so it could be installed without add more repos...."
And, furthermore, to reduce duplication of work, we always have the option to move the packages over to build.o.o and _link them on Packman. That way, updates and patches are shared and only done once, but we can still provide the packages in the Packman repository ;)
Linking to Factory where possible would be nice. There are still packages that are packaged differently in Factory and Packman. It usually is no problem for either package maintainer to accept a merged package. The problem is just that someone needs to actually take the time and do the merge :-) cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
