Some openSUSE Factory changes

By

“To make this transition easy going for everybody we came up
with the following plan:

“We want to split up Factory into smaller parts and join
together devel projects of packages into topic projects in the
Build Service. So for instance we want to have a GNOME:Factory
project with all GNOME and related packages and Kernel:Head project
with all the packages that belong to the kernel. To no one’s
surprise there are already a lot of teams that handle their
packages in this way. For instance the GNOME and the Kernel Teams
😉 What we want now is to use this model for every aspect of the
distribution, not only the big parts where this comes naturally.
All current maintainers are working at the moment on an initial
setup for these groups. You can see it evolving live in this svn
repo:
