I'm not sure if our expectations are the same. I already said that we never ever manage to keep everything in 11.1 updated. I think I have at least some idea how much work it is and I know that I won't be able to do it myself.
My last comment cited above was certainly not aimed at you but at those people discussing names and other relatively unimportant stuff in great length without looking at the big picture first. Research and software project management on a relatively large scale is my day-to-day job, so I think I have a fair understanding of the difficulties involved. In a nutshell, I think we agree that there has to be an entire team to handle the work.
[...] "openSLE" and Evergreen need different set of expertise IMHO and a different type of contributions. My example is infrastructure. I'm not able to contribute any infrastructure nor do I know whom to ask for sponsoring it. You are right that it may split the ressources a bit but if and when an openSLE comes up I don't see a reason to continue Evergreen just for the sake of doing it.
As I mentioned in a previous email, under some circumstances I could perhaps arrange for an entire (second-hand) Linux cluster. But even if I managed to do so, we would still require somebody who's going to pay the bill for A/C and power and somebody who provides the space, network, etc. Marcus said in an email (10/12/2010) that even an openSLES could be hosted on build.o.o. I am not sure whether that would be feasible in practice but I am not an expert on the current situation and the "political" issues regarding the "official" openSUSE build infrastructure. I assume you are going to use the OBS for 11.1 LTS?

I am sorry to hear that Boyd isn't well. I hope it's nothing serious. I obviously shouldn't expect an answer from him under these circumstances. Regards, Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
