Hi,
As mentioned in several situations, it's my declared goal to seperate Factory from openSUSE releases in people's mindset and run it as a rolling distribution with its own agenda.
So far Factory was meant purely as testbed for the next openSUSE release. But this has changed, and e.g. Factory releases DVDs whenever they are tested as good enough - see http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/
While openSUSE releases benefit from being "13.2", I feel we need something else than "13.2 Milestone 0" for Factory. But I miss a good idea what it can be - the "Snapshot20140605" the ISOs bear is unfortunately not good enough as this is tagged when the ISOs are ready - but the SuSE-release file is generated from things I need to copy.
- I can image commiting an increasing commit ID whenever Factory is changed. We would talk about "I'm running Factory 20272, 172 builds behind"? - I can also imagine commiting every first of a month or every sunday or ...
Now it's time for your creativity - what are your preferences for a Factory version?
Greetings, Stephan

My preference would be for something ISO 8601 date formatted, such as Factory 20140618 That of course assumes that we dont get more than one build of Factory a day. If we do, maybe we could extend the versioning to include hour of build creation (no point doing minutes...unless OBS suddenly gets quantum build servers?) eg. Factory 2014061812 This leads me to a few questions - Will this be reflected in /etc/os-release? I think it should Does that mean people are going to be offered a new openSUSE-release package every day in Factory? I don't think that's a bad idea..it gives a good easy number for us to use when discussing issues rather than needing people to compare package versions all the time -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
