The main advantage in my view is having multiple eyes on it.

Of course, that’s standard theory why Linux distros are useful. However, what about the situation when there are actually less eyes on openSUSE package than on the upstream project (shared by all operating systems and distributions, and either number is not very high in the first place)?

But when it comes to keeping my packages up-to-date, it isn't really a matter of upstream vs. openSUSE, it is a matter of me alone vs. openSUSE including me. In my experience this tends to result in the packages I need being kept more up-to-date than if I had to handle it all completely by myself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
