Quick inquiry into where to ask or demand for new packages or versions to be included into 42.3? On this list? Example: please upgrade shorewall package (shorewall.net) at least to the one from tumbleweed 5.0.x or better to current stable releases 5.1.x […]
anyone can create an account on build.opensuse.org and get involved. Also in general anyone can do a "submit request" which in this case would be the update from openSUSE:Factory to openSUSE:Leap:42.3 but it might be beneficial to get in contact with the maintainer of the package. Maybe there is a good reason why there has been no update already submitted. Maybe the maintainer is thankful for your reminder.
Anyone can, but not anyone should, you should only do that if A) You are willing to provide security / maintenance updates in Leap 42.3 as required or B) you have spoken to someone else ie the maintainer and they are happy to do this for you. Either way you should speak to the maintainer first if you are not the maintainer. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
