[...] There is sometimes another alternative here where if the package maintainer feels that the newer version is of significant benefit to openSUSE users but doesn't meet the requirements for a SUSE update. The package could be swapped to being a openSUSE:Leap:15 package as long as someone is willing to do the extra work to maintain it.
We worked very hard to align SLE and Leap and SUSE is accepting compromises in SLE here and there to accommodate Leap. As such accepting more deviations in Leap for packages that are in SLE is unlikely in 15.
If someone from the community is happy to work with the SUSE maintainer to do the work its probably more likely. But this will vary greatly from package to package so the first step is still creating a bug report to discuss it with the maintainer.
Yup, that's the way to go. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
