I suspect that many of the build targets were addded just because we could, not
because they serve a purpose. Can we simply drop them? If not, what should our
supported distro policy for Snapper be?


I'm not a snapper developer but I'd expect support for the latest versions of 
the
major distributions. The rest (the older versions or the less common 
distributions)
should be done in the "best effort" way, i.e. if it builds then fine, if not 
then
disable/remove it.

I'd expect that the respective distribution maintainers would send us 
patches/pull
requests for the distributions they would like to have supported. We cannot 
support
everything, esp. the obsolete distributions which are not even supported by 
their
authors/community.


Idea to discuss: Maybe we could create an OBS subproject 
filesystems:snapper:0.8.6
which would contain snapshot of the older version so the users of the 
unsupported
distributions could still at least reach this version. The question is whether
it is worth of doing it...

(BTW our support is really great, many upstream projects just provide a source
tarball or a Git repository and that's it, no packaging nor binaries...)
