It was not question about making it available in "home" project. The idea is to have it inside the main oss repository but for that the procedure is, branch actual 4.x version in server:security update it, submit it back to server:security it will then move to Factory and Tumbleweed, we can eventually even think about making an update for Leap. We will always welcome contributions. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
