Hi all,
I have some questions about Tumbleweed.
First of all, I wonder what the status is and will be. If someone enables Tumbleweed on the upcoming 11.4, is it very likely that most packages will be updated or are we still talking about a small subset?
I'm still working through this, but it looks like _every_ package will be updated to start with. That's the safest way to get all of the dependancies correct for any future changes that will be needed.
Ok, that's from moving from 11.3 to 11.4, yes? So from 11.4 onwards, are all maintainers going to pick packages for Tumbleweed?
I don't understand, what do you mean by "maintainers going to pick packages"? What it looks like is going to happen is the WHOLE 11.4 repo will be linked into the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo and rebuilt. So, if you switch to Tumbleweed, you will end up installing everything again. Yeah, it's a pain, but it seems like the best way forward at the moment. And yes, there are alternatives, only picking the packages that change, _and_ the dependancies, and linking them in. But, that will start to drive me crazy very quickly, as it has already when trying to do some updates in the testing repo. But if people complain that this would be too much, we can do it, it's just more work on my part, which is fair enough. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
