Question to the SLE Team: - What's the planned release / gold-master date for SLE-12?
I can only share SLE 12 will be released in second half of 2014.
Personally, I'm not too interested in SLE (I don't use it ;-) - but nevertheless knowing some more timeline details would be helpful. For example, as upstream of PostfixAdmin and (partly) AppArmor, it would be good to know something like "submit to Factory until $DATE if you want to be sure SLE will ship this version" would be good.
Not "good for me" (again, I don't use SLE), but "good for SLE users" (because they'll get a more up-to-date version of $package) and also "good for SUSE" (because maintaining "old" versions can cause quite some work after upstream focuses on the new version, and that work could easily be avoided by having the newer version from the beginning).
Sometimes people need a reason to do a release _now_ (instead next month), and knowing you'll get the new version into SLE can be a good motivation at least for some people and projects ;-)
Well, from now until SLE12 release, it is up to individual SLE package maintainers to forward stuff happening on openSUSE, if they find relevant stuff for SLE (but also keep in mind we stress stability over features and we have internal code freeze, to ensure that). Rules of thumb: the sooner fixes is in Factory, the better ;)
Why? IMHO releaseing the next OSS (13.2) at least 4-8 weeks prior to that would give the SLE team some time to cleanup the remaining / fresh detected issues and eleminate them before publishing them to paying customers.
Please note SLE 12 work will be pushed back to openSUSE (whenever possible) but SLE people aren't bound to openSUSE releases, so there is no point to try to sync openSUSE on SLE 12 releases.
True, but OTOH it won't hurt.
That said, if you release SLE12 before openSUSE 13.2, it should finally push the "openSUSE is the SLE testbed" opinion away ;-)
