Somehow. I'm not familiar with EPEL. From reading it's documentation a
difference seems to be that EPEL wants frozen versions where we would
like to follow Tumbleweed if possible, ie allow stable version updates.

Hi,
Those of you running SUSE Linux Enterprise somewhere may know the
problem. openSUSE contains some package that you want on SLE but since
there is no SUSE support for that particular package you won't find it
in any of the official repos either. openSUSE on the other hand contains
that package and maybe the package maintainer(you!?) even builds it in
the Factory devel project for SLE.
Devel projects however may contain lots of other experimental stuff that
you may not want on your SLE installation. So it would be really nice to
have a central project to collect known good community packages built
for SUSE Linux Enterprise server.
That project is here now: openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12!
Getting a package in there is quite easy. Just file a submit request to
openSUSE:Backports:SLE-12. There are basically two rules for packages in
that project:
- packages must not conflict with packages already contained in SLE
- package sources must be accepted also in Factory
More details are explained in the wiki:
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Backports
The whole thing is still a bit experimental to find out what works
and what not. Nevertheless testers, contributors and feedback in
general welcome!
cu
Ludwig

I see that lots of packages include changelog entries up to seconds. I
wounder, are people writing time with seconds (while rpm allows it to be date
only) or is there some special tool to do that properly that I'm not aware of?
