theres already a 11.2 schedule discussion on the other list <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2008-12/msg00025.html>
I asked for a delay for KDE 4.2 and was shot down because of the 6 month cycle. Now they are talking about a 9 month and what I had asked for..........
Least they're not talking about about releasing in sync with the kernel, every 3 months! The other thread is more about schedule issues and marketing, rather than what can be developed for 11.2. Now I don't really know what the true current state of play is here... Personally I'd actually like to get away from "Releases" all together, just have them as 'snapshots' in time, as on the net, you don't have much choice but to keep relatively current. It's not just because of security patches, but also things like older browsers not working on recent websites and such. But to have something like Factory to be equivalent of Debian "unstable", and then 11.1 being "current" to be replaced by 11.2, with 11.1 getting the "stable" moniker and living on as SLED/SLES; then upgrades have to get major attention during testing and package building. Whilst on forum, some are advocating "zypper dup", those using that to go from 11.0 -> 11.1 are hitting problems with pam, and who knows what else that isn't immediately noticeable? The whole download an iso, for release testing labelled -alpha or -beta, doing fresh install, and then trying to test it, tends to lead to "playing" with the system, rather than really working with it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
