Is this a case where, if we wait for a couple of weeks, the number of package changes will only be say "4500"???
TW just did a few thousand not too long ago, maybe a couple weeks in a row . . . time and electricity get spent in these total repackage efforts . . . . : - 0 The answer is in this ML:
"For some regions, there is a long weekend ahead – so expect no / few snapshots until early next week. For snapshot 0328, Ring0 has been completely bootstrapped (as the attack vectors for xz were not fully known, we went the safest route) and for 0329 all of Tumbleweed rebuilt against that new base; Ezpect that snapshot to appear ‘large’ (even though many packages will not be different). "
Can you suggest how for me to better understand about "Ring0 has been completely bootstrapped"? I ask this because you may know some SUSE or openSUSE webpages related to this. I am not an advanced user by any means.
I am not an insider, but... Bootstrapping usually means to build everything from source. It can also mean to start "clean" or from "nothing". Clean and nothing would depend on the context. Ring 0 is, I assume, is a set of critical/basic software required to build the distribution and possibly installation media.
