Evergreen is a stable openSUSE release?
Is this a for purchase product or can it be down loaded? Why would anyone not want Evergreen? Regards. Terry
Evergreen is a LTS community project and is free, except you need reconfigure your repositories at the end of the normal 18-month period to point to the Evergreen versions of the repos. (They don't exist until 18-month period expires.) It is a fairly young effort. It's first effort was 11.1 Evergreen (LTS). That was started last Jan. and is ongoing. I'm unclear how long it may last. (months? years?) There is no statement as to the target support period. There is also a 11.2 Evergreen (LTS). Again there is no statement as to how long it will be maintained. (months? years?) There is currently no statement as to 11.3 Evergreen (LTS). The primary 11.1 Evergreen maintainer is not the primary 11.2 Evergreen maintainer, so likely for there to be a 11.3 Evergreen, someone new will need to volunteer to fill the role of primary maintainer. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen It would be great if someone were to volunteer now, so that people with 11.3 installs could take that into account as they plan the future. Maybe someone reading this would like to take the plunge! Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
