[opensuse-science] Delete SLE_11_SP4 for "science" project?
by Stefan Brüns 06 May '18

Hi, at least half of the packages can not be build for SLE_11_SP4, are there any users or use cases to keep it? If not, I would like to delete it. Kind regards, Stefan -- Stefan Brüns / Bergstraße 21 / 52062 Aachen home: +49 241 53809034 mobile: +49 151 50412019

The typical problem of fast progressing projects with long release cycles - the very moment a new release appears, every second user has switched to an unstable snapshots already. So feature wise, 4.0.7 *is* outdated. 5.0 is around the corner, but how long it takes until the release is done is hard to say - maybe 1 month, maybe 3 months ... "I think we are ready to tag rc2. I'm giving everyone another day or two to make any commits that contain UI string changes before I tag rc2. Once rc2 is tagged, no UI string changes will be allowed except for spelling errors. Hopefully there are no more critical bugs and we can begin the countdown the stable 5 release. Thank you everyone for your support in making this happen." - https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg35537.html Although the message is 2 weeks old, RC2 has not yet been tagged, go figure. That said, I am currently in the process to clean up the Kicad packages to have it ready when the upstream release happens. The only missing dependency in Leap 15.0 is libngspice, which is not part of Factory either (just created a SR, https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/ 604632). As it is a new package with not other dependees, it should be possible to include it in 15.1. For Leap 15.0, you will have to use the obs://science/ for Kicad 5.0.
