At the beginning of this year we noticed that the Deepin Desktop as it is currently packaged in openSUSE relies on a packaging policy violation to bypass SUSE security team review restrictions. With a long history of code reviews for Deepin components dating back to 2017, this marks a turning point for us that leads to the removal of the Deepin Desktop from openSUSE for the time being.

    Why wasn’t this catched by previous routine reviews?

      It seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
