LS,
Just installed the beta version of leap15.2, just to see if there is anything too upgrade for. Nope, just a new kernel and may some other new or updated packages, but even glibc stays ancient, just as many other packages. Thus keeping leap15.2 as slow as leap15.1 which is 4 times slower then TW for mathematics due to the ancient glibc library and possible the very ancient gcc tool set.
But, maybe I am pessimistic and can someone correct me? It sounds like you would be more happy with Tumbleweeds bleeding edge?
Ciao, Marcus
Very much more happy. I just don't understand why so much effort is made - or 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.
But the thing is, it is done basically by taking a snapshot of factory at some point and keeping it. And it is done by SLES, so Leap simply piggybacks. It is not done by reverting to 3-4 years old packages. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
