With smaller time, the changes are also smaller, so are the bugs.
Not really true. With shorter release cycles, there is just less time to test the release. What you're talking about is another problem: the respect of deadlines to submit and add features.
of course not. Changes add with time, and pretty fast
The problem is elsewhere, for example the lifetime of a *boxed* edition have to be longer than 6 months. Using 8 month is choice, not obligation (and I don't say it's a bad choice)
The boxed version is supported two years, not six months, so the problem does not exist. Eight months is a good balance between releasing early and trying to provide a good distribution.
nothing to do with what I said. I don't speak about support but about creation of new dvds.
openSUSE can't have new dvd with updates because of the boxed set that can't be changed. With no box you can include all the fixes at any time. I speak of fixes for the current release, not of a new release.
If there where not box, we could have now a 11.1.2 dvd. No other change needed. Exactly what you get with an install then 4/5 hours of dl right now, mostly for people without dl capacity, and convenience.
The box is just a paper cover. The process of making high quality installable DVD media is still as difficult without it. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
