For recent releases (not historical past), is OpenSUSE derived from other distributions (I have a coworker who thought all distributions trace back to Red Hat/Fedora and whom I am trying to disavow of this misunderstanding) or is it taking the inputs of the Linux kernel, GNU rest of OS plus building other packages from source distributions from the package maintainers (like LibreOffice). I know that Yum is included, but are there other parts from RedHat?
openSUSE is not derived from other distributions We probably have yum available thanks to the ridiculous power of OBS (http://www.openbuildservice.org) which makes it very easy for us to both build packages FOR other distributions, and build packages for our distribution FROM other distributions but openSUSE releases are most certainly not derived from anything, except openSUSE Factory, formerly our 'testing ground', now a viable rolling release for both developers, enthusiasts, and our distribution contributors -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
