Hello openSUSE! This is a friendly reminder that the code drop deadline for openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta is next Wednesday 17th of February 15:00 CET. Code drop deadline is in sync with SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 Public Beta as both milestones are expected to have an identical core, therefore the deadlines must be the same. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap (was corrected to reflect the change). ** Buffer for SUSE:SLE submissions** I've checked and there, are currently no new community submit requests against packages from SUSE:SLE* projects. However, I'd like to ask contributors to submit submissions against SUSE:SLE* packages with some buffer as suse-sle-reviewers have to approve them first before they're visible to SLE friends. This needs to be done before the actual deadline. Also, don't forget to reference issues for SLE submissions or we'll have to ask for resubmit. ** Note on new packages ** If you're a bit late and you still want to submit a new package to Leap then please submit it directly to openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP3 as our SR redirection that is in place for openSUSE:Leap:15.3 would not be able to guess the destination project by non-existing package origin (this should be either SLE or Backports, or Leap for KPIs and branding packages). Why Backports? Starting with openSUSE Leap 15.3 the openSUSE Backports is where we build community part of openSUSE Leap 15.3. ** What about docs?** I've updated https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_for_Leap to match the changes in openSUSE Leap 15.3 introduced by the Jump prototype, including suse-sle-reviewers, mirroring, and blacklist information. I would appreciate any help to shape up the page or make the information more clear or accessible. Thank you! -- Best regards Lubos Kocman Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.
