How to submit a new package to Leap from Factory
I was trying to submit a package from Factory to Leap by following this guide: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_for_Leap It says:
A new package request has to be explicitly submitted against the intended destination project that will be in 99% openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6. An example of submitting from the Factory devel project to Leap 15.3+: user $ osc submitrequest -m 'Submitting Factory version of Salt for openSUSE Leap, see https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-07/msg00443.html ' systemsmanagement:saltstack/salt openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6
I've tried exactly this and got the following error: "The target project openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6 is not accepting requests because: Please submit to openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6:Update" Now this is not good either, since I'm not trying to submit an update but a new package. So what should I do instead to include a package in Leap?

Actually this is exactly what you would need to do, an "optional" update that makes the package available. However..

Updates that add packages to openSUSE Leap need to fix bugs. For example if it is genuinely missing when it should be there, or it replaces an earlier version that became unmaintainable. Things like that. That excludes "it's not there and I was late adding it to the distribution before it was released". Not that we did not ever do this, but it needs to be important. Andreas
