Dear community members, we have some 4 weeks to go until openSUSE 13.1 will run out of support. Already now repositories start to disappear! 13.1 should go to Evergreen, and I feel it will be the most important release ever in Evergreen: It will be the last stable 32bit openSUSE Version! Dont get me wrong, TW is considered as stable, but there are reasons why one running a 32bit environment will not switch to TW..... 13.1 as Evergreen will only be half way useable if only the Basis-Distribution is maintained: Many software is in other repositories, which now start to disappear. In previous version (11.4) users have found worarounds (e.g. local copies with rsync) to overcome this limitation. I dont feel this is the way to go, esp. if you plan to keep some 13.1 Appliances alive in SUSE Studio. The idea to have a build-target openSUSE:Evergreen in OBS, against which repos can build, sounds more like a reliable answer to the problem. This was discussed in the Evergreen-list, but the discussion came to a stop w/o conclusion/agreement. Thats why I would like to bring it into the project list. How can we get this process started? At least I would be happy to build against openSUSE:Evergreen for the repos and packages I maintain. Looking forward for your opinions Axel
