Education repository now inherits devel:languages:python repositoriy

Hi

The Education repository on build.opensuse.org linked some python-*  
packages from devel:languages:python since a couple of months.

As the amount of packages linked (or copied) from the  
devel:languages:python repository was growing over the time, we  
decided to add the devel:languages:python repository as "build  
repository" instead to avoid confusion (which package is "newer") and  
reduce the needed build power (linked packages are always built in the  
source _and_ in the target project).

What does that mean for packagers in the Education repository?
* If your package needs some package which is (only) available in the  
devel:languages:python repository, nothing needs to be done: you  
benefit from the new setup directly.
* If you like to package a Python application or you need a new Python  
package to build your package, please use the devel:languages:python  
repository for this, if possible.

What does that mean for end users of the Education repository?
* If they add the Education repository via the "1-click-installation"  
on software.opensuse.org search, the devel:languages:python repository  
will be added automatically to their repositories.
* If they add the Education repository via YaST Module, the  
devel:languages:python repository will NOT be added automatically. I'm  
currently unsure if we should change this - your comments are welcome!

What does that mean technically?
~>osc meta prj Education | grep -A 3 12.1
shows now:
   <repository name="openSUSE_12.1">
     <path repository="standard" project="openSUSE:12.1:NonFree"/>
     <path repository="openSUSE_12.1" project="devel:languages:perl"/>
     <path repository="openSUSE_12.1" project="devel:languages:python"/>
     <arch>x86_64</arch>
     <arch>i586</arch>
   </repository>

With kind regards,
  Lars
