Leap XX.x is for stability, not latest/greatest. If you need that there is Tumbleweed. you picks yer pizen.
I agree, but does it also hold true for such central ingredients of a GNU/ Linux system such as make? I do not believe that only that version as of October 2013 is stable. And other less important software pieces are offered in a more current version via e.g. devel:gcc. I just hinted to some gaps, which might be closed. And please allow me some other hint. Being engaged in education, I like to foster the usage of Linux in my courses. Trying to convince students to shift from Windows to Linux, openSUSE Leap 42.3 (among other distributions) is the correct choice rather than Tumbleweed. But the software stack for my programming courses should be fairly recent (see make, bison, mc) and consistent (doxygen, doxywizard). Last but not least, these issues came up discussing with students how to obtain a rather recent version (not necessarily latest/greatest). The novel versions are requested due to missing features in the distributed versions. As said before, I just hinted to some gaps. Dear maintainers, please add the mentioned software to those offered in more current version in the e.g. the devel. Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.
