The discussions on the various mailing lists on how to name "that thing" have culminated in a face to face discussion in Prague yesterday where the systems management stakeholder took the input from the community and the usages in current openSUSE and Novell products in consideration.
The goal was to have one technical term that we can use use in a consistent way in future new openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise release - in software, documents, wiki etc.
The decision was to use "repository". Other names considered where "installation source" and "catalog".
This is great news, thanks. With the emerging popularity and apparent standardization on the term I think we would be hard-pressed to not adopt it eventually. Great to know that this can happen already :) Kind thoughts, -- Francis Giannaros http://francis.giannaros.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
