I propose we remove the SLE 11 repository from devel:languages:python. Most spec files require special workaround to build at all with this target and it requires backporting a bunch of system-critical packages that no other release requires, and even then many packages fail to build. And the scheduler punishes the repo for having failures.
The amount of effort needed to keep basic, key dependencies working is growing constantly. And these workarounds means that it will be essentially infeasible to support it in the upcoming single spec file system, which means most key packages will no longer be able to support it anyway.
Anyone who really needs specific packages can always link to them and build them in their home repo.
So I think we should go ahead and remove it. Once it is removed, packages that are updated can have the workarounds deleted
I'm 50% in favor of (ease also the transition to a unified d:l:p) as dlp3 didn't have SLE11 as target. But in the same time, supporting users with SLE11 is also important. Isn't it possible de copy/link dlp for SLE11 in the actual version. Make it build once, and then let a specific repository. (I don't know if those users need a absolute fresh package). Didn't we have a backport repository for SLE11 where we can add those packages ? Then all needed changes can occurs in d:l:p, and people wanting to refresh SLE11 backports would be able to do it on their own repository (I guess with a lot less rebuilds) thoughts? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
