Hello, At the time of writing we have 538 packages in d:l:python which are out of date and require updating. There are only two reasons why any Python package should be packaged for OpenSUSE: either it is dependency of another package in OpenSUSE, or we want to maintain it. Otherwise, if an user wants an unmaintained package, every user has pip available and they can install a package from PyPI directly. The conclusion of these two points is that every package in Factory carries with itself some (small) cost, and there is no point in trying to push all of PyPI into Factory. Therefore I suggest these limitations on putting new packages into Factory: 1. Every new package submitted to d:l:p (or any other official OpenSUSE project) SHALL include in its submit request message “business reasons” for including the package into OpenSUSE (either because it is dependency of some other package, or some other reason, why it is needed). 2. Everybody who wants to submit new package to OpenSUSE, MUST submit two updates of packages already in Factory from the list delivered to this list every week. 3. Packages which fail to build for sufficiently long time SHALL be removed from Factory and d:l:python (or moved to d:l:p:misc). John, let me address you directly, because you do by far the most work for OpenSUSE Python packages. I really do appreciate how incredibly much you do for OpenSUSE, but I just don’t think it is right, when from 30+ requests on any work day, twenty of them are submissions of your new packages. Moreover, some of those packages are really questionable. For example, do we really want to maintain in OpenSUSE complete set of packages needed for accessing Fedora infrastructure? Why anybody who wants to maintain Fedora packages on OpenSUSE systems (and that include me, I have still rights for some Fedora packages) cannot just use `pip install --user copr-cli`? Any queries and comments are welcome, Matěj -- https://matej.ceplovi.cz/blog/, Jabber: mcepl@ceplovi.cz GPG Finger: 3C76 A027 CA45 AD70 98B5 BC1D 7920 5802 880B C9D8 The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution. -- Albus Dumbledore
