2.) Key ideas:
* reduce the number of packages in Factory - provide smaller, stable, high quality core distro
If you don't have the man power to maintain the current amount of factory packages there is no way around dropping some.
"You" is an overgeneralization here. Quite a bunch of packages exist in factory whose develproject maintainer is not someone who was, or is, working with Novell.
- available for more platforms (including ARM, PowerPC, etc.)
ARM builds would be great for coming tablets but it already has been proven that no one (iirc ~ 0.3%) is interested in PowerPC builds so why start wasting resources on it again (also the amount of ppl trying to fix powerpc for 11.3 / factory is pretty small either)?
Hey, if you have something to donate with reasonable build power, why not. But it's a sad fact that anything but x86 is either slow, or requires a few extra bucks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
