Will the goal to compile for SLED\SLES be effected by this?

No

I don't and frequently can't use openSUSE in the school because NCL doesn't stay working
due to package updates. I have been hoping that we would be serving the SLA (School License Agreement) customers soon. My fear with this is that it will confuse the new user who would think that they can add Joomla to SLED.

If they use our official "stable" repository, they can already do this - if they get the needed apache and mysql packages from somewhere...

If users use the buildservice repositories, they should notice that these are our *development* repositories and not the official ones. I added this to http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Repositories already. So all we do is: follow the "stable" repository and provide all packages via one single repository.

If you like, we can provide a special SLED and a special SLES add on later. But IMO missing dependencies on SLES/SLED would cause users to skip some packages like Joomla already. ;-)

With kind regards,
Lars

I'm running Joomla and Moodle and openbiblio and opensis all on one SLES box and didn't need to use any special dependency issues.
