Hi, As announced in December¹, Leap 42.3 is already open for submissions. We shouldn't expect big updates in 42.3, nevertheless some went in already, like texlive 2016. Also, some packages that we already know SLE will take from Factory also got updated like e.g. YaST. So far the current state looks quite good in openQA² so the adventurous may already zypper dup. What's missing still is a roadmap for the release. SLE12SP3 aims for a release in September. Due to the holiday season in August where many developers are likely unavailable anyways development is expected to be finished before. So my proposal would be to also finish with Leap before and aim for a release at the last Wednesday of July. With regard to the release model I'd like to try something new. Rather than having fixed milestones with fixed submission deadlines every few weeks let's try to adopt a model similar to Tumbleweed's. Ie have snapshots released automatically based on openQA results. Nevertheless the closer we get to the release the stricter the rules for updating packages have to be. cu Ludwig [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-12/msg00165.html [2] https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/28 -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
