"How do I know if a package is, and in which version, already in 42?" One can't just do `osc ls openSUSE:42`, but I remember there being some metaprojects around,
As Adrian points out, you can just do `osc ls openSUSE:42` just make sure to add `-e` as an option and it will expand linked packages
Was (most of) Factory copied at some point to 42? Given for example mozaddon-adblock_edge, `osc se --pa mozaddon-adblock_edge` does not list it for anything related to 42, is that a sure indicator it is not present yet?
The Leap Release Team/Factory maintainers took some liberties and threw together a pile of packages in order to get Milestone 1 out, in order to get development rolling (otherwise we'd have had a milestone that barely exceeded the minimal system, no X, no GNOME, no nothing)
So, for some packages, yes, they're already in Leap But you cannot rely on them to continue that for the rest of the packages in Factory. And they might have picked the 'wrong' version for Leap, they were just trying to get something put together that worked, they won't be the ones responsible for maintaining the packages for the lifespan of leap.
If you're a package maintainer, the only way to be sure that the packages YOU want in openSUSE Leap are if YOU do it. :)
