The question really though is, given the above, what does the openSUSE community want to build? (yes..I know, I'm repeating the main question from my original post..but we really do need to have some discussions on that else the answer will be 'nothing')
I'm not sure I agree with how you put this. We are *already* building a thing (Leap) that would be affected by ALP. I would argue we are building Leap by consensus that it's something we want to build.
So the more glaring question is: Can we build Leap from ALP or what do we do instead?
I put this like this for 2 reasons 1. Given ALP is a very different distribution from SLE, I expect any derivative of ALP that tries to be like Leap will be a lot more work. This appears to be confirmed by Simon's experiences working towards this for hackweek, hence you see his suggestion being something paired down from Leap, at least with the manpower he currently sees being interested in doing such. 2. ALP is a huge change to how we build stuff, which makes it an opportunity to do something very different, new, different from Leap, different from Tumbleweed, different from MicroOS. Given 1 and 2 I wanted to put this out in a clear "the door is WIDE OPEN" kind of way, to see what responses we get. Asking your version of the question puts us on a path I only want to see us walk if people really step up and want to build it. So far we have Alberto's "build nothing, but work on adapting Tumbleweed to the ALP way" suggestion, and Simons "build something like Leap but focused on the lightweight xfce/enlightenment desktops" That's a good start..I'm looking forward to others -- Richard Brown Distributions Architect SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, D-90461 Nuremberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Directors/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew Myers, Andrew McDonald, Martje Boudien Moerman
