Let me chime in here, just to nag :) Can you please enable a repo for 42.3 for the OBS Server 2.8 project?
We plan an OBS 2.9 beta next month. That one will also be build again 42.3.
That is nice to know, but having the stable release on a supported platform has some appeal. Especially if you have to fulfill certain compliance rules in some data centers.
Sorry for nagging again. Can I please have an authoritative answer to whether or not there will be a openSUSE_Leap_42.3 repo for OBS Server 2.8? I need this information for fulfilling my compliance rules in my data center.
If there will be no 42.3 repo, which supported platform will be there after the support phase of 42.2 ends coming Friday?
We will focus on the 2.9 beta which will be there during february. And maybe even the final release (depending on feedback).
We recommend to use a SLES 12 base for a production system in a datacenter.
However, I do not want to rule out the existens of an OBS 2.8 on 42.3 entirely, but we won't work on it. And it is a bit more work then just building the packages, it includes also migration testing and so on.
You can of course rebuild the 2.8 project easily yourself and try. There is only a little chance that something breaks, but no one knows without testing ;)
Yes, I know that, but unfortunately this is out of the scope of the time I have. I fully understand the reasoning, and also the hint to SLES, but without paid maintenance SLES is also out of the picture. Thank you and Jan for your answers. Greetings, Stefan -- Stefan Botter zu Hause Bremen
