LS,
Just installed the beta version of leap15.2, just to see if there is anything too upgrade for. Nope, just a new kernel and may some other new or updated packages, but even glibc stays ancient, just as many other packages. Thus keeping leap15.2 as slow as leap15.1 which is 4 times slower then TW for mathematics due to the ancient glibc library and possible the very ancient gcc tool set.
But, maybe I am pessimistic and can someone correct me? It sounds like you would be more happy with Tumbleweeds bleeding edge?
Ciao, Marcus
Very much more happy. I just don't understand why so much effort is made - or in my view energy wasted - to make a "new" distribution, based on years of old/ancient (core) packages. I, however, can understand that one would take a snapshot of TW and iron out some bugs and let that live for some time. That sounds more productive then reverting to 3-4 years old packages.
The thing is, I do like to have a stable distribution in case TW sometimes misfired. But using a distro which uses 3-4- years old packages - and after 8 months being even 4-5 years or more - can only be used as a last resort.
I agree and I'm not really happy with leap at moment. Many leap packages are much to old. I want a distribution between leap and Tumbleweed. A stable distri with some newer packages. Tumbleweed is to new and in my opinion not for production. Last example for this is the change with "etc". Leap 15.0, 15.1 and 15.2 are rather the same. All have the same old packages. Package which are divers years old. And leap is even to old for divers new server applications. I think the way, the strict "it is not in sle", is wrong. My opinion.
