I'm following openSUSE since 2006 and we never had 4 Releases in a year
I use SuSE/openSUSE since around 1996/1997. I think, we had 4 release a year around 2000 but I am not sure.
The maximum was three, if one can trust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux_distributions#Suse_distributions
You are right. But SLES comes every 2-5 years, e.g. SLES 11 2009 and SLES 12 2014. You understand that's a big change for users who come from 3 releases a year to Leap with a SLES base and the base changes every 2-5 years.
But keep in mind the SuSE Linux at the time was developed entirely different compared to openSUSE now - most notably: it was done behind closed doors without you having any word in it.
I know. In these times we wrote e-mails to the package maintainers, if we found a problem. Bugzilla, build service, additional repositories etc. came later. But we also had to pay for the SuSE boxes and only some users had a fast Internet connection and were capable to download SuSE. Today, probably the SLES users contribute most to sales. That's why, there interests are more important!? Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
