## Maintenance (Marcus, Robert)

## Adrian - OBS

Not available

## Bernhard - Slowroll

rolling normally. We had the version update on 2026-06-08 - very smooth.
Doug: are your statistics on metrics-o-o? Or how is it categorized?
working with Witold to get it integrated.

## Bernhard - reproducible builds

testing normally. 219/16009 => 1.37 % of packages are not perfectly reproducible


## Adam - Git Workflow

* Concurrency patch deployed -- there should be no more slowdowns.
Only actual merging is serialized.
* renaming a branch in devel project with "-deleted" suffix will
remove it from the project (even if project is following default
branch and there's only one branch)
* Added support for packages != repository names. Think `++` in
packages names. (ah yes + was lovely in generating _maintainers.json).
Adam please use '+' _maintainership uses package name not git repo
name.

Hint for PRs: Create new branch per PR. So, if you have same version
from factory to 16.0 and 16.1,
     git checkout -B for_16.0 factory
     git checkout -B for_16.1 factory
Then create the PRs from correct to correct branches in pool. This way
any update to one of these branches is not affecting the other. When
bot adds a merge commit, it affects the PR's source branch, for
example.

lkocman: I'll capture it in the video (if the bot adds a merge commit,
it's not fast forwardable ...). Please make a separate branch for each
pull requests. No direct PR from pool supported, always make a fork
per target, before updating Leap.

Robert: can we support one issue per multiple Leap releases? Adam no,
these are separate projects.
Adam: you can newly do multiple packages in single request
https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-git/issues/412
lkocman: we'll have to update docs+video
