I wouldn't even try to get this working on 11.3, it can't really. But this problem is real. This basically means Tumbleweed can't get new versions of packages making up the base distribution. Tumbleweed is not yet another 11.3 repo, it's "slower factory"
Well, we'll find out how to get this going. Stuff like "bigger basesystem updates" for Tumbleweed will get done once it is necessary and we will learn how to do it best. I could imagine that the update in tumbleweed would be done in a different order (just an example): * the new kernel / X.org is definitely wanted * new kernel needs new mkinitrd, udev * new udev makes new d-bus possible and easy * new aaa_base does not hurt anymore, as the new kernel, udev and mkinitrd are already there * the same for cryptsetup and util-linux => suddenly, adding systemd is not a problem anymore. So it might be, that the request "please add systemd for Tumbleweed" would be rejected right now, because it's too hard to do, just for this one feature (which is really nice, but no killer, and it brings no new hardware support etc.), but 4 or 8 weeks from now, when everything else has caught up, it might be easy to do. In FACTORY, the priorities are sometimes the other way round: New stuff is thrown in, to get it tested, and to find out what breaks and what the dependencies are. Actually that's a nice summary of the differences between FACTORY and Tumbleweed IMHO :-)
- seife had a nicer word for it, but I forgot :)
