Thanks Roger for your feedback.

I'm redirecting your question to the opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org
list.

The initial posting was:
http://lists.openSUSE.org/opensuse/2012-08/msg00328.html

Instead to complain any of us is able to do the same by replying to the
correct list, set Reply-To, and by this the discussion is moved forward
to the correct list.

Thanks,

Lars
