Ideally, Tumbleweed will die with the use of Factory in its place. Factory is a great goal, and one that I really want to see happen, as it fits into my working model (constantly updating stable distro), but from what I have been told, it's just not quite there yet.
Thanks for all the work you did (and still do) on Tumbleweed. Ideally, however, Tumbleweed should not die since it strikes a slightly different balance of what it means to be on a rolling distribution than Factory, by definition. That difference may be small, but it is important to me and I suspect some other Tubleweed users as well.
It might be "small" on your side, but it's a _huge_ change in my workload to be able to try to do something like this. And in the end, it would look almost exactly like Factory does today anyway (if you look close, sometimes Tumbleweed packages are _newer_ than Factory {shhh...}) So I'd push back and say, why doesn't the Factory model fit your use of Tumbleweed? It's the same thing, only more packages are updated :)
It seems that most of what Tumbleweed is today could be emulated by using Current plus a few select repos building on it. Some staples would be (for me anyway) KDE and LibreOffice.
i.e. the same thing as Factory :)
I'm not certain what the kernel part could be replaced with.
With what I pull from today, Kernel:Stable.
Any guidance in what exactly gets integrated into Tubleweed would be appreciated.
You can see the list of packages in Tumbleweed by doing: osc ls openSUSE:Tumbleweed if you are curious. Right now, it's only 624 packages, a non-trivial size. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
