So from my POW, we have those possibilities: 1.) use the Contrib as one of devel projects for Factory
No.
Agreed.
2.) drop Contrib and move all packages to appropiate devel project and Factory
This can be done, but I guess we do not want everything in Factory.
Agreed.
3.) redefine a Contrib as a respository with less strict maintenance rules (eg. the "famous" version upgrades), because even if the Factory will be opened for community, every package must be maintained for cca 2 years (that means, three openSUSE releases + Factory). And community is not really interested on it.
I would say we still need a "Other" repository for the stuff that won't get into Factory and Contrib is still well suited for it.
I think that Contrib with version upgrades is a way to go. There were some people that wanted to help with Contrib, but dropped when they realized that no version upgrades were allowed there. -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o Package Maintainer Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-contrib+help@opensuse.org
