This would be a great opportunity to consolidate folks on Tumbleweed. If you don’t like the frequency of updates, then simply don’t update as often.
This only works if one doesn't want to install additional packages. More often than not, additional packages will have dependencies that can no longer be satisfied if you're several updates behind.
with that in mind, the same will apply for "slowroll".
No, it won't. All packages in the "slowroll" release will stay the same until a new release is made. Until that, it will be possible to install packages without dependency problems.
yes, if the "additional packages" do not require dependencies newer than the "slowroll release date"
haven't you noticed the number of posts asking why such-and-such newer version of xxx is not available in the leap packages?
Sure, this is a well known problem for non-rolling release distributions. Either a stable distribution for <x> number of months, or the latest and greatest versions of packages with lots of updates. You can't have both.
and will also apply for "slowroll". just delaying the dup for tumbleweed will accomplish the same as desired by slowroll. not my cup-a-tea, but there are scenarios available for all situations. patience is a requirement in most cases. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
