Ooh, nice!
2. Assuming the answer to #1 is Yes, are you comfortable supporting your chosen newer package in Leap for at least a year, preferably with backported patches and not version updates?
Yes.
Great!
3. Assuming the answer to #2 is Yes, would you plan to increase the version of the package for Leap 42.2 a year from now?
This is a rather tough question. On one hand I also prefer stability, on the other hand if I learn from feedback, that syslog-ng version 3.X is problematic but 3.Y is all right, I'd rather do the version upgrade.
Yup, nothing wrong with that at all, I think this is a perfect example of the sort of thought process I hope every package maintainer goes through when deciding what versions make sense in Leap Thanks! - Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
