If someone comes with good idea before versions are applied is still good time, specially that current decision is made between our own identity and accepting numbering applied by other distros, nothing that really improves user experience.
How do you consider this proposal realistic? You perfectly know the difficulties in terms of resources the project has.
Making release with software that already has patches and patches are tested as good is not that much work as stabilizing factory.
For me major improvement is that users downloading media will get one installation media to download plus modest number of patches that are released since last version, which is substantial improvement over current system where installation of released version is followed with hundreds of MB of download for updates.
It might be for places where connection speed is low. For others it is really not a big deal, since updates can be installed during the installation process.
This may not be a problem at home where you have thick download pipe and hours to do installation and updates, but at friends site shorter is better. You come with patched DVD and in one hour you are done, including first steps how to use. No distribution offers this now, and as they don't have OBS they will need some time to catch up.
Actually we have something that offers this: SUSE Studio, if you really cannot wait some time to install patches. Best, Alberto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
