can we please have proper and recent releases from oss upstream creators and not have ancient stuff in brand new opensuse releases? You must be aware that openSUSE Leap goal is not to have recent stuff.
Now, if you point to security bugs that have not being patched, you can write a bugzilla requesting the package be updated.
You'll find that most packages used in Leap are really antiquated, just to keep sync with the business releases. They do, however, occasionally make some updates if security concerns are flagged.
To get the newest, you have to use Tumbleweed. Be warned, that there are packages which are also somewhat older with especially core packages taking some time to get upgraded. But at the positive side: Tumbleweed is stable for most of the time.
except for my servers, I *only* run tumbleweed and consider it *very* stable. no crashes I can recall for many years and no data lost. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
