We shall see.
Bottom line is that someone has to do the work. Given that we've had like 5 contributors, if that many to get a regular release out the door it will probably be up to those 5 to decide what hey want to do. Those who do, decide.
No objection here, but please keep in mind that replacing the base packages with the SLE packages more or less invalidates the testing done in/with tumbleweed. So if we decide to release 13.3 with the SLE packages as base, we'll need to do quite some additional testing. In exchange, we get the testing done for SLE and easier/shared maintenance.
So far I do not think there has been a big rush to actually build packages from the released SLE sources. Maybe this also says something about the overall "excitement" over this event ;) .
Maybe. It could also be that people just need some time to do that or are still busy with the things that piled up on their desk while they were at oSC ;-) I'd also guess that most people here don't know what exactly is in SLES and SLED (speaking of package list, versions and backported patches) and how they differ from openSUSE. If you or someone else has a list with the major differences between SLE* and openSUSE, it would be more than welcome. I heard at oSC that the SLE* DVD images are available for download somewhere[tm] to test SLE* (does someone have the download link at hand?), but that's also something the average factory contributor might not know. BTW: It would be nice to have the SLE* kernel available in a repo [1] (packages built for tumbleweed and maybe 13.2, not only sources) so that we could change the kernel part of this discussion from "$version looks old" to actual testing ;-) And finally, the SLE* source release is a big event. Not only on the excitement level, but also from the amount of code. I'd guess people just need some time to find their way around before they start using the SLE* sources. This might even be seen positive - people first think about what they want to do with it, instead of using the headless chicken mode ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] no, I didn't check if it exists already ;-) - if it does, please just send a link -- What are you doing?!?
