[Mageia-dev] unity on mageia

[Damian Ivanov]

There are lots of good reasons to switch to OBS
   - OBS has a web interface ( lots of ppl including me do lot of
the spec file editing, patching etc. using the web interface from
windows e.g from work PC / mobile platforms)
   - In OBS it's very easy to fix a package for everyone, if you have
an account at the OBS server, just branch it, fix it, submit it (and
wait for approval)
   - Package that are on build.opensuse.org can be linked to, inter
instance linking, copying, aggregating (with enough user permission)
is no problem
- OBS is already used by more than 33,327 confirmed developers.
- Mandriva is also considering it.
- You would do something for inter-distro collaboration (and well we
can discuss this, OBS is the most advanced build system)

We can remove the obsoletes, it would be just the gtk3 fork of ubuntu
in the repo alternatively installable.
