No, unfortunately there is not exactly a list of distinct actions. Maintaining the live cds is basically the only thing that I can think of that stands on its own. The rest is basically keeping on eye on the overall quality of factory and not just single set of packages. There is not a good howto for that.

In the context placed, the word "unsortable" was a red herring. Obviously it was already sorted. The question remains why devs so infrequently use ISO dating and seem to prefer little endianness, which is not capable of being simply sorted like [YYYY]MMDD[HH[MM[SS]]] is. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

In some countries, including Germany, it is used DD.MM.[YY[YY].] , just as it is used MM/DD/YY[YY] or MM-DD-YY[YY], in US, and no one has a problem with that; well, at least those that are not exposed a bit to one then the other. You may imagine that no one is used to [YYYY]MMDD[HH[MM[SS]]], it always requires mental effort to write and read such date. So, little endianness is not someones invention, but common way to write date in some regions of the world. The only problem that confused me too is missing end dot in 9.2 (I expected 9.2. as in 9th of February) which might not be required by German rules, but it is in some other regions as it signifies ordered numbers, like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ie. respective 1., 2., 3., 4. etc, in contrast to 1,2,3,4 as in quantity. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

International mailing lists and other software development forums and tools are not single region, but worldwide, and I've been witnessing the confusion regional variation causes in these places since before Y2K. It's not as bad when four digit years are used, but isn't it better to have most conforming to a simple standard? ISO came up with a perfectly rational (& numerically perfect) recommendation, and none I'm aware of have shown any better suggestions. Why is it people writing where such confusion abounds can't adopt that recommendation at least for their international audiences? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi Felix and all others; People as a group are not willing to give up their habits and ways. "If it was okay in the past it's okay for the present and future" is the attitude. Yes, it takes a finite amount of time and effort to change our ways but the rewards can be worth it. As pointed out earlier, sorting is much simpler using the ISO date standard and becomes second nature after a short while. It would avoid ambiguity when peoples communicate between different regions/countries.

I've been exposed to both and used both. Only took a little thought to figure out the dates. Perhaps to avoid this situation use spelled out month (i.e. 9 Feb), then there would be no ambiguity.

The plan is to have full ARM support for 12.2. The question is whether we can make it within the time lines, we should be able to hopefully. Although saying that we still have about 700 packages to go - 140 failed and 586 unresolvable. I doubt we will make M1, but I hope we can make M2. I'll be looking at this amongst other things at FOSDEM and also later in Feb.
