I would think they could add tumbleweed as a build target for these, just like the ones you listed are now.
No, and that is one of the main reasons why I don't want to have Tumbleweed be a stand-alone "product" or "release". To require this would add even more work to our packagers, and I do not want to do that at all.
At some point it will be needed anyway. If I build against
and Factory I will find that my package doesn't works in Tumbleweed because - The one compiles against an old version of a library that changed soname in Tumbleweed - The Factory one references a symbol that is not available in the library version from Tumbleweed Which version do you recommend to use with Tumbleweed?
or Factory? First off, why are you building packages against Tumbleweed? When you want something updated, it's because it already is working in Factory, right? Then you ask me to link it in, I test it out in openSUSE:Tumbleweed:Testing, if it builds properly, then I move it to openSUSE:Tumbleweed.
When Hans asked about "the add-on repo's of the OBS" I wasn't thinking about "backport repos". I was thinking about those packages that aren't in Factory, so probably neither in Tumbleweed. Most from the games repository fall in this category. Another question would be why those packages aren't in Factory... But anyway OK, we were just talking about different things.
Yes, please always remember, one of the requirements for Tumbleweed is that the package already be in Factory.
What I'm still worried about is the
-
's packageA depends on libA1 and libB1 - Tumbleweed's libB1 depends on libA2 - libA doesn't versions symbols and packageA explodes (libA1 and libA2 are two versions of libA with different sonames but that provide clashing symbols) case. This will only be detected at runtime, and the "detection" would be an user complaining about a hard to debug problem.
We will deal with that when/if it happens, I'm not worried about it at all at the moment. There's going to be funner things for Tumbleweed, like updating the version of perl or python, to deal with :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
