[opensuse-project] why is this even in here....
Hi, I know that Leap is based on SLES, but do we really need SUSEConnect and rollback-helper in Leap? Cheers MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Cheers MH SUSEConnect is in Tw, so that's probably why SLE has it and hence Leap. Same goes for rollback-helper. Apparently part of the defaults. No idea though whether these packages are needed.

There is no practical use for them being in Tumbleweed, but there are key development benefits for SUSE (all SUSE packages should be in Tumbleweed first before SUSE engineers are allowed to include them in SLE). They do no harm and I’m sure we have other packages which have been contributed to TW that have very narrow use cases. In Leap though those packages will also have a practical benefit. SUSE plan to offer a migration path for Leap users who wish to move to their enterprise product. Leap 15 users who decide they want to buy SLE 15 will need to use those tools to do an in place migration from Leap to SLE So they’re nice to have, sure

Understood, but they could be just recommends / optional, couldn't they ? Mind, I don't mind them being there, but why would we have them installed by default?

I tend to agree with this, i've submitted a change to the patterns for leap and tumbleweed will follow sometime soon (i'm in the middle of a bigger set of changes there) -- 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

Great. We've seen this pop up in the forums as well. This SR would fix that, no doubt. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
