in my view energy wasted - to make a "new" distribution, based on years of old/ancient (core) packages. I, however, can understand that one would take a snapshot of TW and iron out some bugs and let that live for some time. That sounds more productive then reverting to 3-4 years old packages. You talk the talk, but when was the last time you *actually* needed a glibc package right out of the factory? I currently use glibc from factory for one game: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163301
So that is a packaging problem of the game then. They cannot expect everyone has a particular glibc version, so either they rebuild it for an older glibc, bundle libc (applicable to any other library), or just outright ship source code so it can be built for whatever libc the user is running. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
