http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1055572 Bug ID: 1055572 Summary: Update Scribus to 1.5.x version in Tumbleweed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: mail@philipp-wagner.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Currently Tumbleweed comes with Scribus 1.4.x, which is marked as "stable version" by upstream and dates from January 2016. At the same time, the version 1.5.3 released in May 2017 denotes https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/1.5.3_Release "The Scribus Team is proud to announce the release of development release 1.5.3, another major step on the way to Scribus 1.6.0. In addition to being a milestone in terms of typographic features, the Scribus Team is convinced that 1.5.3 has become stable enough to be used in new workflows and documents in a similar way to the transition from 1.3.3.x to 1.4.0 after the release of version 1.3.6. However, care must be taken, because this is still a development release. Scribus 1.5.3 is very fast and has been thoroughly tested. Generally, everything that works reliably in 1.4.x also works in 1.5.3, but it's faster and more versatile. On top of that, it includes additional and already overwhelmingly reliant features galore." I've been using Scribus 1.5.3 extensively from OBS (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs:/scribus-15.x/openSUS...) and I didn't experience any problems. It seems that Scribus upstream uses a much more strict meaning of "stable" than most other projects out there. Given that it's stable (by own testing and by the statement of upstream quoted above) and has serious improvements in the 1.5 version, could the 1.5.3 version be pushed to Tumbleweed? [A bit a similar version happens with LibreOffice, where upstream also has two versions available for download, a more "stable, enterprise-ready version", and a fresher version. Tumbleweed ships the "fresh" version.] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
