3) We (as the GNOME maintainers who work for Novell) have traditionally not focused on openSUSE much, rather spending most of our time on SLED. This improved for 10.3 and well continue to improve, but we lagged a little more than we thought due to SP1 of SLED 10.
Seems one of those very traditional traditions that goes through centuries and more centuries, and generations and more generations.
As far as I know, KDE is included in SLED too. How come KDE doesnt have those problems of too much focus in SLED? What can we expect of that? That the gnome in opensuse is barely maintained? Or does that mean that the KDE guys doesnt put much effort in SLED?
It's not as easy as you're thinking. The KDE guys had some advantage with no major release for quite some time. Stabilizing KDE 3.5.x is much less work than stabilizing a major release like KDE 4 - or GNOME 2.20. So, there have been quite synergies between openSUSE and SLED on the KDE side - something we could not benefit from with GNOME. And that means we have to do more work with GNOME and then you might focus... I'm glad that the GNOME maintainers have already improve much working on openSUSE, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
