Hi Ludwig,
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?
Hi Takashi, 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. Hope that clarifies things, Dominique
