Project Announces Plans for Another Minor Leap 15 Release
Hello openSUSE! We’d like to announce that the openSUSE Release team plans to work on openSUSE Leap 15.6. openSUSE Leap 15.6 is expected to be released in early June 2024 and would reach its end of life by the end of the year 2025. This decision was based on recent discussions at SUSE Labs and openSUSE Conference, and it reflects recent changes, progress on individual projects, and our new distribution *architect. This will also enable us to provide SUSE customers with an updated Package HUB module, as both SLES 15 SP5 and Leap 15.6 would be considered a feature release based on our *tick-tock release model. With a Leap 15.6, more time is given for efforts related to an ALP- based Leap 15.X *successor. A more detailed explanation of the situation at lkocman’s oSC2023 “Leap 16.0?” talk. Recording should be available within a few days at the openSUSE youtube *channel.

just to make sure, please do add all the eventually upcoming new pgp gpg keys and buildkeys and hashcodes and update stacks and whatnot early and regularly to 15.5 and 15.4 even or whatever and maybe someone? can come up with an official oneliner or actually a tiny smallish but official piece of software how to move a once released leap to its successor at their lifetime ending? i know about zypper dup and all, but i always wondered? ever since we have gotton zypper onlineupdates lively being inside the system, why there never was an official little tool or set of scripts that eventually rewrite the old repo files or update em to releasever environment variable etc you get the idea. i guess its time after like decades? of opensuse, to really care for its end users and not leave them alone in the dark needing to real wiki pages, etc and never being able to decide about newly introduced pgp keys and so forth. TIA
