So while it makes very good sense to pull latest version from Factory for _some_ packages, I don't like the idea of seeing it as a genera rule. I would rather see something like
- 42.1 picked SLE12 SP1 package * SLE12 SP2 inherits the SP1 package 42.2 should inherit 42.1 package * SLE12 SP2 has new version 42.2 should pick SLE12 SP2 package - 42.1 picked Factory (or other newer) package * if there is a strong reason for version upgrade (typically leaf desktop packages), pick reliable new version (Factory or other) * by default, preserve 42.1 package and keep updating it
If we adopt the "what was picked from Factory should be upgraded to current Factory" algorithm instead, it IMHO kind of beats the very idea of Leap as a long term stable distribution and there would be har to justify calling it "Leap 42" rather than simply 13.3, 14.1 etc.
+1 - I utterly and wholeheartedly agree with what Michal proposes here (I do hope he is sitting down before he reads this..could be quite unexpected and shocking ;)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
