[opensuse-project] Feature Requests
Hi all, What is the best way to submit a feature request for Leap/Tumbleweed? For example, there is one package that is a little over a year out of date. If I had the time to learn how to OBS, I could build it myself and submit it but in the meantime, what the best way to ask? Should I ping the package maintainer or is there another way? Thanks, Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, Jason Either that or file a bugreport asking for updated version on bugzilla.opensuse.org

As a maintainer (even if not of openSUSE packages) I personally always have considered a friendly mail much nicer than a bug report requesting an upgrade, all the more if it comes with an offer to help and maybe shares who/why it would help. Jason, I imagine that while you are not familiar with OBS yet, you'd be able/willing/happy to help by testing an update once its packaged and provide feedback. Or may be an upstream maintainer or be engaged with those, and can help that way. Or share a pitfall with that new version you are aware of. Or offer chocolate. Or ... :-) (It's all subjective of course; the above is my personal experience, not project policy or anything. I've experienced all the above myself - short of receiving gifts, though I did send some once or twice.)

Gerald Hi Gerald,
Thanks, I already opened the bug but I shot him a personal email also. If OpenSUSE Conference is still on in NUE this fall, I'll buy him a beer :). Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
Hello team, Sorry I've somehow missed this thread, but better late than never. For a openSUSE Leap package (~8k) it would normally a bug or even better directly submission, that is correct. We're working on a process definition in case that package has a SLE origin (roughly ~4k of openSUSE Leap packages) https://github.com/openSUSE/CommunitySLEFeatureRequests/ I'll be announcing a pilot program as soon as we have initial JIRA configuration done (should be July-ish time frame).
