That´s one of the not cleared things of my idea. I said that´s just an idea that must be make perfect so this is a question that will need to clear. I don´t know, but I think if people really want to have the bleeding edge KDE, they install it from the OBS or the KDE repo.
My core idea was to offer Tubleweed for those who want uptodate software and LTS for Business users with the wish to risk the chance to break something (update/upgrade) very seldom. Therefor skip the releases between LTS. Factory remains for developers. But I agree with Greg to discuss it further, when we have Tumbleweed (and hopefully LTS). Cheers, Thomas
- LTS: This repo includes all software for a LTS-release - Regular: This repp includes all 6 month releases of software.
In this cause, YaST is important. If you install the LTS, you can use the "regular" repo too and if you use the regular you can use the LTS too. I hope it´s clear.
My third point is following: What´s with Tumbleweed? I think it looks very intersting and maybe it can be used with my concept too.

This looks all very interesting.... But with a LTS-Release it maybe will be difficult. I used Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for a while and read something about 8.04 LTS. There´s Firefox in version 3.0.19 and there aren´t any updates by Mozilla (I read it, if it isn´t the truth, please correct me) so I think it´s the work of the community to do this.
In generell I think the idea of Thomas Thym very nice. It looks a little bit like Debian: - stable - testing - sid
Maybe the Ubuntu-way is a much better way to do it:
openSUSE 11.4 becomes a regular version. openSUSE 11.5 will be the first LTS release. Support till 2014 (when it comes 2011) openSUSE 11.6 will be a regular 6 month release so on.....
Then they are two important repos: - LTS: This repo includes all software for a LTS-release - Regular: This repp includes all 6 month releases of software.
Factory becomes like Debian Sid.
That´s my idea of a LTS-version
So you want to force people to update their entire system just to get a bleeding edge KDE, or kernel or digikam ?
Sounds more like a step backward to me.
