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.
There is going to be a Leap 16, whether 15.x to 16.x upgrades are possible depends on what happens with community work on the openSUSE ALP projects. Currently Leap 16 is the planned brand name for the openSUSE side of ALP, because changing all the names and versions again was undesirable. It also makes it easier to incorporate the Grassy Knoll effort and other things people want to do. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
