Hi, first of all, if this list is not the right one for this kind of request, please point me to the right direction where it would be.
I'd like to request adding a 'latest' or even '15' (any major release version) named symlink to the HTTP OS tree [1] as both to be consistent in how Leap containers are tagged [2] as well as helping other projects/consumers e.g. libosinfo [3] or our libvirt-ci [4] tool etc. to always conveniently track the latest minor release of Leap. The use case of most of these upstream communities is to always consume the latest contents to find regressions and compatibility issues early, and it poses some (not completely negligible) burden for all these communities to manually flip all URLs to flip the Leap release they track to the latest minor when it's released. So, I'm kindly asking whether such a thing could be considered.
How about
https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/
or
https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-stable/
?
Both point to 15.4 currently.
What happens with these when Leap 16 is out? Are both going to be flipped to 16? The thing that I didn't mention is that the major version matters just as much. So, even if 16 is out, the latest 15.X is likely going to be supported for a while, so we should be still able to get the latest 15 conveniently (for CI purposes many projects actually test against more than just a single release - the stable supported ones), but I assume those links would already be pointing to to 16.X by that time, so we're again in this same situation we're in right now.
