13.2 obviously isn't either - so what's your point?
I don't quite understand yours. To me, it makes pretty good sense that someone who doesn't upgrade to every distribution release and decides to skip one is even less likely to be happy with rolling upgrades.
I'm not saying anything else - I just don't like Carlos' one sentense replies. Expressing his problems with Tumbleweed (or better the possible lack of 13.3) is one thing, but throwing statements onto mailing lists doesn't help anyone.
Greetings, Stephan
What is the situation? for a fixed release (version number as you like), the past has shown that six month is what it takes at minimum to get a (mostly) stable set of packages that can be called "release" without being ashamed afterwards. We've had the "great" releases, (10.2, 11.4, and even 12.3) and the "not-so-great" releases (the last was 13.2), what was the difference? For 13.2 it was the whole network-config issue that took down the overall impression. Wicked was just NOT ready yet, and this was felt like a supersonic-knell through the whole system. Every network-depended service hat its own issues with that, some could cope, some through up. For me a openSUSE release is not about a "killer-feature", but about a complete system done right. If I really want just a specific "killer-feature", I take a distro that features just that. DistroWatch and Linux magazines are great for that. The real question is: Is TW in a shape that with 6 month work it can be worthy of the title "release", or do we get another set of last-minute untested software get pressed on? Keypoints for me: * Btrfs on / is not in a shape that acceptable for the masses. - fillup: either the snapper defaults get corrected, or other config screws get turned in the right directions. - stability: Ready to run for the next 3-4 Years after install? Sadly not at the moment. - Missing repair tools, and step-by-step manuals for crashes. * Snapper docu is still not complete in the packages, config missing. * Network: - where IS the full wicked docu? Not in the packages! - up-to-date HowTo's for the different scenarios: + prefer cable, but use wifi if no cable, + vlan, + ipsec, + ipv6 (state of the art, please), + dnssec, authenificating forwarders, + firewall and virtual-machines (hello, docker!) To me it looks like that we really have to get started if we want a "release" in November. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
