Heya,
I am not sure I fully got how the project is supposed to start, but afais it currently is designed to be used on top of a 11.3 system where it will try replacing components as they are linked/uploaded into Tumbleweed.
Yes.
With the kernel beeing changed I am wondering about low level system libraries,
The kernel should not affect any low level system library. In fact, to prove that, install the kernel from openSUSE:Tumbleweed right now and watch everything "just work" properly.
for example a new glibc (yeah that's pretty low level) might very well require a whole system rebuild,
Installing a new glibc does not require a system rebuild. Experience with Debian and Gentoo for many years is proof of that.
but the 11.3 stuff that's not linked in won't be rebuild. So if one updated component would need an abi breaking library update every dependency needs a rebuild so they'd be needed in Tumbleweed,
I can see sometimes needing to rebuild a number of other packages due to some package changes, but those will be pretty infrequent, possibly in sync with the main openSUSE releases, which would make a lot of sense, right?
how are you planning for that if some teams aren't really interested in helping out but you need their software?
We will cross that bridge when we come to it. Worse case, I just link to their latest packages and we wing it :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
