Keep in mind that the new Factory was never intended to replace Tumbleweed. Both rolling distributions acomplish different goals. Tumbleweed provides rolling updates of selected packages (~10% of the packages in Factory) on top of the most recent openSUSE released version.
ah, but if there aren't going to be any more openSUSE released versions...
:)
Also, the longer between "releases", the harder it is to maintain Tumbleweed, it's getting much too long these days.
I agree for many other reasons that the current release distance is too much. But we also need to redefine what the openSUSE releases are - in relation to Factory. And while I don't doubt the existance of a use case for Tumblweed, the open question is if it's worth the effort (and I just can't answer it). I wonder though in what form that redefining should happen. In all honesty: mailing list come to their limits for such things and the openSUSE conference did not bring enough stake holders. Perhaps some dedicated video conference? Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
