I want a distro where self-built binaries don't break because of maintanance upgrades.
Do you have an example of such breakage on Leap?
I was not only speaking about _binaries_ but also about scripts using a versioned shebang or relying on a certain default interpreter. regarding https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/477529 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/477530 Or regarding the idea to update python 3.4 to 3.5 just to get a KDE upgrade running. I dont find that bug report again right now. It was was luckily declined but would have made all locally installed python3 packages unusable.
I'm running self-compiled binaries that I compiled 10 years ago on Leap and even tumbleweed without problems.
Of course for real binaries we have some kind of lsb standard interface which seems to work quite good (at least for libc deps). Moreover experienced non-admin-users would compile static anyways. Nethertheless I'm 100% sure that I would find incompatible libtool/.so versions for whatever lib on TW since 10 years. And I'm almost sure that I would also find one between Leap releases. Maybe just my prejudices but it's not hard to imagine that someone builds a kde4 app against global libs and that it would not work anymore if kde4 is removed. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
