All personal opinions aside, I think the OP had a legitimate question. Filezilla is available at software.opensuse.org in Official Release for all versions from 11.1 up thru 13.2, plus Tumbleweed. So why not in 42.1? An oversight? Intentionally dropped? Or...?

openSUSE Leap is a community distribution

Community distributions are put together by volunteers

During the development of Leap, there was many calls of action in many public places to encourage everyone to make sure the packages they required were in the distribution, and provided instructions on how to either find maintainers or to contribute the packages themselves

So to provide the answer to this question directly and precisely, the answer is simply because no one did the work to include it in Leap

If this is not a 'good reason', I do not know what is - we are a Project driven by our contributions, or lack thereof.

And that is something which is the shared responsibility of all involved, including those questioning why it is missing now - If you had checked during any of the Milestones, Betas, or even Release Candidates, you could have helped ensure you had it now.

Full and excellent response, Richard, EXCEPT for the last paragraph. "...If you had checked...you could have helped ensure you had it now." I personally have no horse in the race, I am quite happy with 13.2 at the moment, thank you. I've upgraded to every version since 10.x and I will, I am sure, at some point, switch to Leap ("switch", as this is not technically an upgrade at this point in time). But you need to get that really bad attitude out of your responses; even an imagined insinuation that Leap is not the greatest thing since sex gets a snide and nasty response from you. I have no opinion on Leap at all, either way, so cool it. Thank you. Ralph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
