Greetings: One small question, is it truly necessary to have such alternative sub-packages (as shown below) within the Apache Server Modules, PHP5 and PHP5 Extensions repositories for the same OS version without perhaps bewildering the majority of downloaders, I have noticed at this early stage persons are asking what is the "real" difference between each sub-repository (other than the vague hinting title as to what might be different). For example (on viewing the openSUSE 10.2 , x86_64, repositories) we have: ../download/Apache:/Modules ./openSUSE_10.2 ./Apache_openSUSE_10.2 * * the above latter repository for unknown reason is not openSUSE build-service authenticated/singed. Again for PHP5, and the PHP5 extensions (two, and three sub-repositories for Extension): ../download/server:/php ./openSUSE_10.2 ./server_apache_openSUSE_10.2 ../download/server:/php:/extensions ./openSUSE_10.2 ./server_apache_openSUSE_10.2 ./server_php_openSUSE_10.2 At first glance, there appears to be very little difference between each sub-repository, so if one is indeed utilizing an Apache server, why would one not be content to apply the sub-repository marked simply openSUSE_10.2. However, if such specific sub-repositories are indeed required or beneficial, then would it not prove helpful (since the majority of downloaders will not have inside knowledge of the specifics a packager is compiling with/in each sub-repository) for the packager of such additional sub-repositories to provide a clear and concise repository 'content description' to aid/assist the downloader or systems administrator. Or perhaps bundle sub-repositories in a more concise fashion together with a short but informative description. -- Oliver --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
