when a Leap 42.2 package is "forked" to take a TW package, does it automatically follow the later TW package update as well until the 42.2 code freeze? Or do we need to resubmit to 42.2 at each time?
Allow me to reply to this message while Ludwig is enjoying some time off.
Packages that are marked to be coming from TW are NOT automatically updated based on TW. Despite the 'promise' that TW is supposedly stable, there are always smaller / bigger packages that are a bit 'too bleedy' to be considered for a real LTS product, such as Leap.
For this reason, packages that have source openSUSE:Factory do require explicit action from the package maintainers.
Thanks, now it's clear.
I asked it because the policy was a bit different at the time of 42.1. At that time, the TW package update was tracked until 42.1 went to the code freeze.
42.2 isn't about the latest and greatest. For some packages it may indeed make sense to follow Factory automatically (like e.g. Firefox). That cannot be figured out automatically by bot though. Maybe someone could come up with a way to tag packages that are safe to always submit from Factory until RC. Then the update crawler¹ could be adjusted to also look at Factory.
But then I guess we'd need a manual review for such forked packages some time later before RC, so that we catch any overlooked package updates / fixes.
More pairs of eyes to check the package lists are always appreciated. The lookup file² lists packages that were not updated since 42.1 as coming from openSUSE:Leap:42.1[:Update]. Also, packages introduced in Factory or SLE since 42.1 are normally not automatically put into 42.2. So someone needs to submit new packages that should be part of the release manually. cu Ludwig [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/osc-plugin-factory/blob/master/update_crawler.py [2] https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Leap:42.2/00Meta/looku... -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard,Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
