Hello,
Why don't we decide to make it rolling? How many rolling distros are there? How many easy to install and use?
Make it rolling, we'll save resources. Not only infrastructure but developers as well. Developers will maintain or create their packages for only one version and not for 11.4 (it ends on 15th, right?), 12.1, 12.2, Tumbleweed, Factory. It's easy to do using OBS but I guess it's mode hard disk space (please correct me if I'm wrong). Rolling distro will have factory and tumleweed. Also there won't be delays like 12.2.
Some people (like me) prefer to use stable releases ie.11.4 is for me the latest stable release where no major new toys, such as systemd, were introduced, hence most of my servers use 11.4 as default while some of them ,oops dare I say it are running 11.1. So not everything is about running the latest and the greatest yada yada. But if factory is stable enough, it could/should be used as a rolling release, more on the edge. So I am thinking promoting the usage of factory rather then tumbleweed is a better approach as fixing bugs in Factory means a better (read as with lesser bugs) release.
For marketing reasons, someone can create ISO file every now and then, print it and promote it to events.
Maybe this will give us an ID to our distro. Ubuntu has LTS. Fedora has new features first (eg Gnome).
I though we already had the ID : geeko and if you are not happy with it build your own <http://geekobuilder.suse.com/>
What do you think?
Green means go
And geeko means Avanti Avanti ;) Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
