Please note that most of those fixes are absolutely trivial version updates, but despite this fact some of them haven't been merged into Factory for well over 2 months. For example:
http://build.opensuse.org/request/show/450613 http://build.opensuse.org/request/show/450615
I'm so very tempted to say 'blub' - oh wait, I just did. The submissions you mention have been in adi:189 for 2 month -as you point out rightly. And about 2 months ago (what a coincidence), there was a comment added to the project (which triggers a mail to the people having submissions in the staging project), stating: wrote about 2 months ago Build failed ghc-scientific (x86_64) Build failed ghc-scotty (x86_64) Build failed ghc-vector-algorithms (x86_64) Build failed ghc-distributive (x86_64) Build failed ghc-quickcheck-instances (x86_64) Build failed ghc-smoothie (x86_64)* and more (37) ... Looking into adi:189 )https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE: Factory:Staging:adi:189) we currently see 42 submissions grouped in there: of which an estimated 100% fail to build. Might be worthy to look into the failures as well and work out why they happen. Once THIS is fixed, the stuff can also be merged. Cheers, Dominique
