In any case those experiences together with reports from others just paints a picture in my mind where I see some misalignment. I'm not saying we are there yet but the direction is to something like: Leap = SLE + community stuff What I think that Leap should be: Leap = SLE (with community modifications where the community/maintainer wants it; in best case w/o breaking base compatibility with SLE) + community stuff
What we have at the moment is close to 3, if you substitute "community/maintainer" with "community maintainer", ie if there is someone in the community who is willing to maintain it then they can have the discussion with the SUSE maintainer as they will be working together co maintaining the package anyway, for build system and core libraries or other packages that end up affecting other packages the answer is still more likely to be no, but for some packages that effect less other things or some groups of packages it is possible. However the community wanting something updated and not doing it themselves is less likely to happen, that would probably be asking the SUSE maintainer to do additional work in there spare time, and one of the core principles of openSUSE is that we don't ask people to do additional work, they do it if they feel like it.
Yes, we are somewhere inbetween in general with some trend in one or the other direction. I was pretty satisfied with Leap 42 and more or less still with 15.0. With 15.1 it already felt more towards the first. In any case you are spending half of your mail talking about updates. If that refers to an earlier mail from me in that thread then I need to add that I never asked anyone to do an update for a package for me. In most cases I am the maintainer (or at least co-maintainer or major contributor) of those packages I'm asking for anyway and I wanted to have them updated (typically) to Factory level. And exactly that process felt quite weird. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
