Drew there's two aspects : First numbering is now fixed, and please don't come back to this before 2020 :-)

Your proposal is pretty good (should have been proposed two months ago), but imply human power to release each iso. So such future proposal, should be made, once a real team of people is able to manage it, and for several years. (ask coolo how much time / work is needed for each release) Otherwise we will just make a new long thread of words.
I'm feel so sorry now :-)
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.
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.
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.
+100, yes I can change my mind ... As I've said, if it's REALLY feasible, and his better than the actual or near future. Do it!
Well Bruno, I think its good that you and Rajko see the value in this idea. I think the important thing to do is to find out if this is possible... even if the frequency of the minor releases would be signifgently lower than what I had proposed (maybe we only do a minor every 2 months between majors - 12.1, 12.2, 12.3) I know that making a release is work (that's why I actually did run this by Coolo before presenting it here. He told me to Propose it... only adding that he will not be available to work on additional releases.). Keep in mind that the minor releases wold NOT be a FULL release as it would only add the patches to the major release. Adding these shouldnt be too hard with KIWI if we have the right volunteer. It's like Rajko said, it's not like we would have to stabilize factory with every minor as the patches are already deemed good. Do you know how long it would take to create a working image with the current patches applied? If that is something that can be estimated I would love to see a rough idea on how long it would take. -- Drew Adams Skype: Druonysus Mobile: 1.714.788.4038 www.facebook.com/Druonysus en.opensuse.org/User:Druonysus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
