IMHO, this could have been made more obvious. The above shown linker error isn't really elucidating. In fact, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all. I doubt that all build service users read the opensuse-specific packaging list. And new users won't know that it might have been discussed there. Some kind of keyword as a start for a Google recherche is lacking.
this change was even announced and a wiki article to explain it was posted long ago: http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Fixing
Think 5 meters farther :-) or read again: that's my point -- it doesn't help new users if something was announced at a time where there weren't subscribed. The error message doesn't give a hint. So where do you expect users to start searching? And as you see, it doesn't even help me, even though I was subscribed at the time. Because, how do you expect me to think of that particular thing? There are numerous examples where a very useful pointer is given (or appended to the build log) that helps to understand and fix issues. Good examples galore. Clearer now? Peter
