I think it was three weeks for Beefy Miracle - maybe four. ;-) I think the answer is to define a core that can be delievered reliably on a six-month cycle and call the other options "respins" or "community projects". That's what Fedora and Ubuntu do. They limit project scopes and deliverables and other standard software engineering "best practices".
And that is their biggest problem. It makes respins and the like all second-class citizens. I am glad openSUSE does explicitly not do that.
Fedora has more deliverables than openSUSE - we have a DVD, a NET install CD, a GNOME LiveCD and a KDE LiveCD. They have a DVD, GNOME, KDE, XFCE and LXDE CDs *plus* a raft of respins.
More does not always mean better. In case of Fedora, the (very unsuspecting) user is even more confused as to what to pick. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
