opensuse-packaging is low-traffic, with quite a bit of overlap with opensuse-programming* and usually quite SUSE/OBS specific. I'm against opening that list to non-subscribers.
I'm subscribed to both packaging and programming.
So am I.
I would have thought opensuse-packaging would be exactly the sort of list that needs to allow non-subscribers to post.
Hm. Why?
I would envision a core set of packagers subscribed, but that any one of the packagers / obs users could post to it ask questions. In fact by opening it up it makes the OBS even more of a community resource.
Well, you may well have a point there, but, as far as I can recall, threads are about: - build-stuff (e.g. how to get cmake do bla) [overlap w/-programming] - rpmlint stuff - more OBS specific stuff - package-naming / packaging policies (OBS mostly), i.e. what where why and what sub-packages - general programming stuff (off-topic, but well, that's fine with me, I read both lists ;) And I don't know where to draw the line ;) Maybe it'd be a good idea to open the list to at least those with an OBS account. But generally? Nah, keep it "subscribers only"! Thank you very much!
opensuse-programming on the other hand is not used much by contributors.
I agree with "not much used", I almost only see the usual suspects there, i.e. prominent contributors. And I did not object to opening opensuse-programming. I objected to opening -packaging (as I see that list being OBS/SUSE specific, for discussing how to package whatnot etc.).
Instead it seems to be an end-user list more like the main user lists. I can see it not be opened up. In fact, I could see it being removed with little impact. It really is not a opensuse specific list from what I've seen.
See above. -programming should and could be used more often. I'd love to see more traffic on -programming! -dnh -- "Time is that quality of nature which keeps events from happening all at once.
