September 2022 - openSUSE Support - openSUSE Mailing Lists

I fail to understand the concept of updates on opensuse in general - current and speedy update process?

Support, I seriously fail at making sense of the sincerity and honesty of the opensuse update process: e.g. todays wpa_supplicant update. this update came along as a patch. so to my understanding the the recent explanations or discussions on some opensuse lists or bugreports, patches were supposedly for security trouble, to be applied immediately in speedy manners. something like that. patches would get applied with the yast online_update script ind cron.daily or cron.whateverly folders. when looking at this changelog i read about february and may 2022 the latest entries. the compile or build date is from june 2022. and when i look at my calendar I read that we are being in september 2022. just what the heck. seriously. how can this be a patch. how can something from may, be compiled in june, and be released to us opensuse users in september? this is just the recent example of my findings. other serious stuff is for example widely adopted (?) firefox browser for example. even though it being the LTS release of firefox or ESR its called, opensuse takes like one week and longer to push serious security updates that are being released by mozilla and world wide, until it reaches an opensuse user for example. or was it even longer this last time with firefox on 15.4? you get the idea. i find it really a shame that we are being regarded of such low priority. are normal suse customers as well waiting months or weeks for patches or security updates? i wonder about these ties to SLE(s) or whatever some (many) packages rpm and updates come from, are they binary identical to the suse customers and are they waiting the same amount of time? are these packages really compiled only once for both the opensuse leap and the SLES customers and then rolled out to both audience at the same time? opensuse is really stretching the limits here. my opinion. i am not pleased with the state of opensuse in the recent years. not at all :( ty

[TW] Different file/folder sort order in GTK and KDE
by Bob Williams 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

I am running Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma. I have noticed that KDE apps sort folders above files, which I like, whereas GTK apps sort everything alphanumerically. Is there a way to make GTK apps sort folders above files? Bob -- Bob Williams No HTML please. Plain text preferred. https://useplaintext.email/
