Good to know -- this is different from the past then :) I just checked, and I do see PHP7 on the list of things I can install; I just have to uninstall PHP5 first (not ideal, but probably doable at least..) Thanks for that, my app server life just got a bit easier... :)

From my personal/developer life though -- it's the core stuff that I need most often for compatibility with different software products, which is why I've ended up going the oS route instead of the SLE route.

The SLE and Leap route are not that dissimilar Leap after all is using the same 'Core' But beyond that Core, where as SLE has a few thousand packages in those modules, openSUSE has many, many more, maintained either by SUSE engineers (if they're coming from the SLE/Modules side of things) or by the community In either case, we have a flexible, SLE-like update policy. If openSUSE Leap wants to update community packages like SLE update packages from their modules, we can. We do not artificially freeze package versions for the whole lifetime of the release. But of course, we don't update everything all the time - Tumbleweed is built for that, Leap is built for users who want something more conservative. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
