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?
There is not going to be Leap 16.
I don't know what there will be, but something very different. Not upgradeable, I think. Should have a different name.
This is very much undecided yet, at this stage it is very much technically possible to do something that is upgradable and that is not very different and it is being investigated and will likely be worked on. But to answer the original question once Leap 16 is out (or even if it isn't and we have something else) Leap 15.5 will only continue to be supported for another 6 months and there won't be a 15.6, so it would make sense for stable to move to pointing to 16.0 in the same way it will move to 15.5 post its release. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
