I suspect that the 10.3 repositories have been deleted with 10.3 reaching EOL, but I thought I would get the official word. So what's the story? Are the 10.3 build service repositories gone for good or have they been moved to another location in the old repositories directory like 9.3-10.2?

Adrian has disabled the 10.3 repos from all projects (a bit early). The projects can readd them from the DISCONTINURD branch.

(We basically also need the build power as we lack some powerful buildhosts currently.)

10.3 lives another week only, October 31st is the last day of maintenance.

Ciao, Marcus Not that long ago (one whole day) i still found 10.2 on the OBS: openSUSE_10.2 files: 1062 openSUSE_10.2 repo's: 25

openSUSE_10.3 files: 92651 openSUSE_10.3 repo's: 1304 hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

KDE repositories will be of course affected too, so make backups if necessary.

Hello,

is usual, openeSUSE 10.3 runs out of maintenance and I will remove all repos building against it in OBS.

openSUSE:10.3 project has been moved to DISCONTINUED: namespace as announced a while ago.

bye adrian

Thanks Anders, Glad to see 10.3 go to discontinued and not just left in limbo. Now for 11.2... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

This means that all the packages built for 10.3 that were stored at download.opensuse.org/repositories/ were removed and will not be available anymore anywhere.

If yes, it is very sad. I understand that because of EOL no new packages will be built but do not see why had to remove all those great and working packages.

Making a complete backup of the repository is not easy for everyone.

Futhermore I am satisfied with 10.3 and I would not be reluctant to upgrade if there was not that KDE4 issue with the 11.x versions. I do not understand either why one should upgrade if his system works well, and take the risk that something will be broken in the new system. (Eg. I could not make vpnclient/ssh work in 11.1 on the same hardware).

Cheers,

Istvan

i understand your point completely and do NOT disagree...i'm running 10.3 as i type and don't like the idea of being forced to move.. however, i can understand the reason for the Novell wanting to push us on toward the newer stuff.. and, that reason is, of course, money....Novell would like to make a profit off of their investment in open source software and purchase of SuSE.. if folks don't have reason to move on to newer versions there there will be no one to find and smash the bugs so a new version of SLES/SLED can bring in more cash... right? dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

and, that reason is, of course, money....Novell would like to make a profit off of their investment in open source software and purchase of SuSE..

No, afaicr, the reason were disk-space and CPU-cycles when rebuilding. Actually, i hoped that 10.3 would be frozen, instead of being trashed. If you are in desperate need for some old rpm's, drop me a line. Still have 67949 openSUSE_10.3 RPM's (1300 different repo's) on my backup from gwdg.
