Hi all, Got your attention? :) This is hopefully the last email I'll send on this topic openSUSE Leap 42.1 is now in Beta 1, and from an engineering perspective things are going quite well (ie. It works!) But the distribution is 'missing' quite a few packages compared to openSUSE 13.2 (-1130) and Tumbleweed (-1480) The reason for this is simple - no one has submitted those packages and/or maintainers have not accepted the outstanding reviews for those packages While having a tidier distribution isn't a bad thing, it's a bit of a concern that so many packages might be either unwanted, or unloved by their maintainers = What can I do about it? = Well, obviously, I'd hope you've been downloading the openSUSE Leap 42.1 beta and testing it, and finding that the stuff you want is missing that way. But assuming that you haven't... Review the following two package list diffs http://paste.opensuse.org/77513865 ;- packages that are in Tumbleweed but not in Leap http://paste.opensuse.org/28259518 ;- packages that are in 13.2 but not in Leap If there are packages you desire, then double check they're not already on the way to Leap - https://build.opensuse.org/project/requests/openSUSE:Leap:42.1 If not, then submit them! To submit a package from Tumbleweed to Leap run osc submitrequest -m 'Submitting $package for Leap' openSUSE:Factory/$package openSUSE:Leap:42.1 If it makes sense to use the SLE-12 version instead (shouldn't be many of these left, but just in case), then submit a package from SLE-12-SP1 to Leap: osc submitrequest -m 'Submitting $package for Leap' SLE-12 -SP1:GA/$package openSUSE:Leap:42.1 If you're not the maintainer of the package, don't worry, the maintainer will be involved in the review process to ensure they're happy with their package ending up in Leap. But we need YOU to tell us it should be in our new Distribution. If you ARE the maintainer of the package, please review and accept/deny the request in a very prompt manner When Leap is released in November, if anyone on this list complains that a package they wanted in the distribution is missing, expect my sympathy levels to be dramatically lower than usual, you have been warned :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
