Hello team! As you might recall Tomas Chvatal did a complete refresh of python in openSUSE Leap 15.2. This was done out of his initiative and I recall that it took him at least two months to get that done. openSUSE Leap 15.3 is based on SLE 15 SP3 binaries. SLE 15 SP3 is not really a feature release, if we keep these releases in sync, nobody really expects any revolution. So I do not expect the same refresh in 15.3, but we'll welcome update requests. However, SLE 15 SP4 will be a different story as it's the feature release (Tick-tock model). I do expect to have a slightly lower volume of changes compared to SP2 since we're further in the product lifecycle. I'd still appreciate if we could update as much of the Python ecosystem as we can. Closing the Leap Gap (CtLG) will require that some packages have to be accepted first in SLE, so because of that, the rebuild cycle will be longer. And SLE submission will have to reference some feature tracker. openSUSE Release team will support you on the way just like we supported Tomas but we will need a lot of help and coordination from your side. Do you see this as a doable goal for Leap 15.4? If you'd like to split the entire effort, then Leap 15.3 is still Alpha until 17th Feb, so we have quite some flexilibility there. Not so much for SLE part of Leap as SLE has already Beta3. ps: I did previously talk with Kristyna Streitova on this topic and the outcome of our conversation is this email. -- Lubos Kocman Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.
