Without Packman support for at least some of the key kmod's and codecs needed by tumbleweed, I seriously doubt it will get much end-user adoption.
I don't care about closed source kernel modules that violate my personal copyright, and neither should you.
There is a world of difference between a "working" install of openSUSE and an install that is considered useful by the Desktop user base. Thus the comment about key kmods and codecs is quite valid. Without that.... a tumbleweed distro (something I'm VERY interested in) drops to a passing curiosity.
This is not to say that a tumbleweed can't have those extras, or must have them.. but they should be considered/be available in some form.
Again, through the openSUSE infrastructure, we can not provide those extras, as everyone well knows. But, as always, it should be trivial to build them by third parties if they so desire. Tumbleweed would not take away that ability at all for anyone. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
