And I believe you are right. The offtopic list is going to keep the discussion nicely out of sight and out of mind since there is no public archive of it. And I'd prefer if the jackbooted thugs forcing wokeness down our collective throats with threats and insults did that out in public for everyone, including the public to see. Now this is a noble ideal, but I fear the Powers that Be do not want to see the overall direction of the project discussed. Your message to project(a)lists.opensuse.org awaits moderator approval Guess the people and views the inclusive crowd wishes to exclude are going to have to remain confined to the offtopic list.

Somebody on this thread quoted Martin Niemoeller. Nowadays the first group they are coming for are the old white men - filthy conservative hate mongers and colonial oppressors, the whole lot of them!

Why do you now defend the people you said should be ashamed for their behavior? You said it. That was about behavior, and this is about fairness and the meaning of symbols. I see showing the rainbow flag as similar to the display of green around Saint Patrick's Day. Letting that fly means acceptance, and it's important for a sense of fairness, to not be treated as a sub-class of people. > Regards, > An Anonymous Techie -- Robert Webb

Request for a symlink to the latest Leap 15.x minor HTTP OS tree
by Erik Skultety 02 May '23

02 May '23

Hi, first of all, if this list is not the right one for this kind of request, please point me to the right direction where it would be. I'd like to request adding a 'latest' or even '15' (any major release version) named symlink to the HTTP OS tree [1] as both to be consistent in how Leap containers are tagged [2] as well as helping other projects/consumers e.g. libosinfo [3] or our libvirt-ci [4] tool etc. to always conveniently track the latest minor release of Leap. The use case of most of these upstream communities is to always consume the latest contents to find regressions and compatibility issues early, and it poses some (not completely negligible) burden for all these communities to manually flip all URLs to flip the Leap release they track to the latest minor when it's released. So, I'm kindly asking whether such a thing could be considered. Regards, Erik [1] https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/ [2] registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/leap:latest [3] https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db [4] https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-ci/
