Hi, it looks like Opensuse 11.1 is starting to go away to die of old age. Unfortunately I have to keep using it on this laptop, as Opensuse 11.2 & 3 don't turn on the cooling fans to keep the laptop from overheating. Only 11.1 works. I have addressed this issue with Novel via bugzilla, but they haven't provided any solution.
I have found that the repos are slowly going away for updates. I removed the repos for
Education OpenOffice Wine devel:languages Perl
as they don't exist anymore for 11.1. Does anyone know where I may find these repos now?
I believe those are now dead and gone.
But in the build service there is now: DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1
That is what other repos such as you listed need to build against to keep providing packages for 11.1. Evergreen 11.1 is based on this foundation as well, but the above repos should build against DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1 unless there is a specific reason to build against Evergreen 11.1
If I were you, I would look up the bug owner for each of the repos you care about and send them an email asking if they will add the DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1 repo to their list of build targets. It is a relatively quick and painless process for them, so I would hope they respond. You can mention Evergreen is still releasing security updates for 11.1, so there is an ongoing userbase for 11.1 dispite it being officially discontinued.
You can look up the bug owner in obs by going to the project, then clicking advanced, then users, then scrolling down past the maintainers.
Or any of the maintainers can add a repo as well.
I did adjust Wine already and readded 11.1. So no need to mail me. And you can in general live without updates from these repos. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
