Why was Libreoffice 5.1.0.2 pushed through to Tumbleweed when it's only a RC and not final released software? I thought the policy of TW was to be software that's been released by upstream. Hi
care to elaborate on this - I am not aware of any such policy.

I remember reading discussions how it was supposed to be released packages only, with rare special exceptions for RC packages. You don't see many RC's being put in there, but it's happened a few times with the new releases of LibO. Also, from the definition of Tumbleweed, it states it should be stable and tested software. An RC is by definition not that. It might be fine for them to roll into Factory for testing, but they probably shouldn't flow into TW until they are actually released. https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure *rolling release* version of openSUSE containing the latest stable versions of all software instead of relying on rigid periodic release cycles. The project does this for users that want the newest stable software. Tumbleweed is based on Factory <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory>, openSUSE's main development codebase. Tumbleweed is updated once Factory's bleeding edge software has been integrated, stabilized and tested. Tumbleweed contains the latest stable applications and is ready and reliable for daily use. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
