Leap 15.4 Planning - Early collection of feature and update requests
Hello openSUSE! The release team wanted to revisit this topic and give an explanation for why we'd like to collect early feature requests for openSUSE Leap 15.4 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP4. The reason for it is that the SUSE's internal deadline for all partner requests is on 26th June 2021. that partially affects us as well. Please keep in mind that SLE will also take features after this deadline, but it requires more approvals in the process, which can be avoided if we prepare, plan and are proactive. Just to make sure feature requests != code submission itself (see examples on wiki). openSUSE Leap 15.4 takes new features until we enter the RC phase, which is when we accept only important bug fixes. Please be aware that your Leap package updates might depend on libraries in SLE, which is main reason why we're doing this excercise so early. We'd like to identify all these SLE update requests prior the 26th June to avoid any delays later in the development cycle. Let's start the Leap 15.4 planning together and collect our ideas and then we'll turn them into feature requests that we can discuss on June 21st for an extended feature review meeting 15:00-16:30 CEST (13:00- 14:30 UTC) at https://meet.opensuse.org/FeatureRequests We can use the following wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/Feature_Planning_15.4 We already have some features in there, which I am excited to see and look forward to see more. I'm otherwise working on the simplification of the approval process for community contributions, so we can have fewer roadblocks. Thank you openSUSE Release team
