I'm sorry to say, but openSUSE is from Novell which is associated with a bad deal with MS. That alone will, I think, be a big barrier to use, download and install openSUSE Build Service. Why would someone using debian, fedora, etc get their packages from download.opensuse.org/repositories/.....??? Would an openSUSE user expect to get his or her software from download.fedorea.org/packages/etc?? or packages.debian.org. I don't think so. It would be much more attractive to get packages from a distribution agnostic site e.g. from buildservice.org/repositories or packages.org/repositories (the former btw redirects already to https://build.opensuse.org/) -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
