[opensuse-web] too many/confusing repo names
":" is almost never used in any URL except to preceed "//", and can cause strange results in copy & paste activities or help posts on mailing lists like http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde3/2012-04/msg00070.html. Why does repositories/ use them, and why the subtle duplication, such as Active:/ and Active/ or KDE3:/ and KDE3/, compounding the proliferation of available repos? Can usage of ":" be phased away? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I'm afraid not. It is result of http://build.opensuse.org organization on: main_project:subproject1:subproject2:etc where each of above components can have files that can be published. main_project: main_project:subproject1 main_project:subproject1:subproject2 main_project:subproject1:subproject2:etc Explanation with more details can be obtained on opensuse-packaging mail list. They use OBS every day, so they know how that works. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org
