Well, obviously, I'd hope you've been downloading the openSUSE Leap 42.1 beta and testing it,

and finding that the stuff you want is missing that way. But assuming that you haven't...
Review the following two package list diffs
http://paste.opensuse.org/77513865 ;- packages that are in Tumbleweed but not in Leap http://paste.opensuse.org/28259518 ;- packages that are in 13.2 but not in Leap
If there are packages you desire, then double check they're not already on the way to Leap - https://build.opensuse.org/project/requests/openSUSE:Leap:42.1
If not, then submit them!
That's not possible. One example: dtv-scan-tables. Does not build on Leap, because the v4l-utils / dvb-utils stack is too old. I tried to fix it, but just gave up.
To submit a package from Tumbleweed to Leap run
osc submitrequest -m 'Submitting $package for Leap' openSUSE:Factory/$package openSUSE:Leap:42.1
As I wrote, it will not build in Leap because of missing dependencies.
If it makes sense to use the SLE-12 version instead (shouldn't be many of these left, but just in case), then submit a package from SLE-12-SP1 to Leap:
osc submitrequest -m 'Submitting $package for Leap' SLE-12 -SP1:GA/$package openSUSE:Leap:42.1
The package is not in SLE-12-SP1.
When Leap is released in November, if anyone on this list complains that a package they wanted in the distribution is missing, expect my sympathy levels to be dramatically lower than usual, you have been warned :)
Well, *you* have been warned that combining old crap (SLE12) with tumbleweed will not work out in practice and that it might be hard to motivate packager and developers to fix this. Expect my sympathy level to be dramatically lower than usual if Leap turns out to be a marketing disaster, because users cannot find the software they have been using for decades in it :-) Best regards, Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
