Feature added by: Kim Leyendecker (openLHAG) Feature #312642, revision 1 Title: Timeframe for building SUSE Studio: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I´m currently maintain openSUSE remastered 11.1. It´s build for keeping an openSUSE 11.1 image up to date using the evergreen repos. I´m doing Service Packs in a fix schedule. Upgrading the packages and rebuild the system is kinda pain for me. So, a feature which you can use to give Studio a time schedule for updating the appliance would be nice. *How it works?* Well, the best way would be to choose a GUI where the following is included: Automatic build all: * 6 weeks * every month * every week * 6 months * (type in your desired timeframe) New build if: * an package get updated in the repository * just do it on time, don´t care about packages Which number should be counted higher: * the major number * the minor number * the release number Using Hermes, the maintainer would get the latest build information in a changelog: Appliance name: xxx Based on: openSUSE /SUSE Linux Enterprise Current version: mm.ii.rr new packages: Firefox 3.6.19 -> Firefox 5.0.1 Thunderbird 3.1.0 -> Thunderbird 5.0 Linux 2.6.32 -> Linux 3.0rc7 ... comments: -- Use Case: doing releases on time, like I do. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because so we can automatically create releases on a time based model. This becomes important when we want to ship Service Packs. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312642
