Hi all,
There's been many discussions over the past years about a "rolling update" version of openSUSE on lots of different mailing lists and in person a different conferences.
So the time now is to stop talking about it, and actually trying to do it :)
So, I'd like to propose "openSUSE Tumbleweed" a repo that is a rolling updated version of openSUSE containing the latest "stable" versions of packages for people to use.
<snip>
I'd like to do this "for real" after 11.4 is out, just due to the amount of time it will take to get the workflow down properly, and due to some other time constraints on my plate at the moment. I anticipate trying this out to start with based on 11.3 but I don't guarantee it all working properly right at the moment.
So, any thoughts, ideas, objections?
How would this sit in relation to repos like Packman? Would it supersede (or provide a base for) those efforts?
Stuff in Packman is there because of legal reasons it can't be hosted in the openSUSE build system, right? Because of that, I don't see how Tumbleweed could "supersede" those packages, but it could be a base for a Packman repo for these packages to be built against. But, if there are packages in Packman that people just use because they are "more up to date" than the existing "stable" release, then yes, I could see Tumbleweed superseding it. Hope this helps explain things. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
