Hi all,
The openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo is now up and has exactly one package that will install properly, git. :)
Jiri is working on getting the kernel packages building properly, and I'm looking at linking to network:samba:STABLE as that's a good place to get the latest stable samba packages.
But, what I need from you all, is a request for what packages do you feel I should be updating right now, and hopefully you can provide a pointer to the repo for where these packages are (if they are only in FACTORY, that's fine as well.)
Can you elaborate on how Tumbleweed is managed? As far as I can see, you're making links to other projects (and, eek, git is a link to a home project -- that's something that should be avoided, imho: never link to home projects).
Why not? I trust the home project to have the proper version of that package. Would you like it better if somehow I just link to the Factory version instead? I trust the home project more as I know it builds and works properly on the 11.3 base, not just Factory.
My understanding was that you wanted to use a model like the Factory one, where we push things to Tumbleweed when they are ready. But with links, that works a bit differently: (assuming we add some apps stuff from GNOME:Apps) when we update a package in GNOME:Apps, there's no hard guarantee it will work. We try to make that guarantee when we push from GNOME:Apps to Factory. I thought it'd be the same for Tumbleweed, but if it works with links, there's no way to make that guarantee.
Why not, these are just "links" of a copy type, not a link that instantly propagates. i.e. I'm linking to a specific revision of the package, which should be fine, right?
In all cases, you can add all of GNOME:STABLE:2.32, I guess. If you use links, though, we will have to remember to change the links for a new GNOME version (since we'll likely use GNOME:STABLE:3.0 for the next version, etc.)
What do you think the proper management model for Tumbleweed would be to make your life as a package mantainer easier? In the end, I want to make it easiest for you, not me as a project manager. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
