I'm curious, why does Tumbleweed have Nginx "stable" (1.8.x) and not "mainline" (1.9.x)?
I maintained nginx for a while. I just followed the choice of the previous maintainers. so let's not discuss the 'why', just take it as 'facts'.
Let's talk about 'how'.
How to update TW's nginx while keep Leap's at stable?
The update itself is easy. but I can't promise that next time when we pick Leap packages. the mainline version in TW contains no incomplete
There are still a few months left until we have to branch for the next Leap :-) While the default modus operandi is to pick packages from Factory there is still also the option to go for a different branch if needed. IOW as package maintainer you should feel free to put whatever version in TW that you think fits best for the target audience there. When thinking about Leap the different target audience might justify a different version of course. If in case of nginx having packages for two branches in Factory makes sense then that's fine too IMO as long as there's at least one package actually called 'nginx'. cu Ludwig -- (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
