I like the idea of 12 month release cycle but with al least one respin after 6 month. For me respin means: * release all media with all ufficial updates/bugfix. * minor changes should be allowed. * not so minor changes could be allowed for leaf packages
Doing this, installation bugs can be fixed and you don't have to install dozens of updates after/during installation from network, you keep more interest in the distro.
This is an excellent idea IMHO, plus we can give more attention to Tumbleweed between releases.
I would like that; however, it needs dedicating time to actually doing it, and it appears that man-hours are too scarce.
It would be almost be as having a 6 month release cycle.
No, that is a misunderstanding.
A release cycle has the whole branding-everthing, release-number-changeing-everywhere, in short a whole lota stuff that for such a Service-Pack (aka SP1, SP2,...) is NOT needed nor wanted.
Just these things:
- re-intregrating of of all the stuff from the update-repo back into the release repo. (copy rpms, recreate indexes, sync mirrors, a week later clean update-repo)
- If you want to be kind, use the *:updated-apps repos, integrate them too.
- recreate the media (*.iso)
- do a full QA-run to ensure quality (same as Factory-Milestone)
- announce as 'release-refresh' or 'service-pack-release'
Done.
Well, you can't do that. You have to have a separate 13.2-sp1 repo and update repo, or users of 13.2 (no sp) would be in trouble. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
