we're soon going to need a repository of repositories

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

yep, too many repositories, we need a tool to merge those repositories lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

A pull request should do it, lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How about a federated repository of repositories?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wrapped in a directory and smothered in glossary sauce

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

And hosted on a blockchain.

I have an idea why they're not on the list

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pray tell

Because it's an EU repository. I respect them for being at least clear about it.

I found it weasely that the equivalent sub to this one on reddit was called something like "buyfromEU" and just tagged on that they meant EU as in Europe, not like the trading block synonymous with those letters lol

There are loads of products with the Union Jack in this repo though

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yup, but you can see why a user may feel that a UK item shouldn't feature in a "Made in EU" repository. The confusion wouldn't exist if it was, say, called "Made in Europe" and I think it's clear why it's not called that

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fair point.

I wish we could just come back
