But it can create the opposite problem.
In security:forensics I have to have links to some older dependencies because upstream for the packages I care about hasn't added support for the latest and greatest dependency.
Thus, there are some packages I can't send to factory because they either won't compile or won't run without the older version of the dependency

The downside there is we are in the process of creating Leap 15 from whats currently in tumbleweed, so if it not building in tumbleweed at the moment, it likely won't build in Leap 15 without extra effort to add multiple versions anyway which could possibly be done in tumbleweed already. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
