Because of the size and because we don't need to do this. It also offers a "safe way out" if something goes wrong in Tumbleweed. We can (and do) drop packages from Tumbleweed and they revert back to the original, "safe" version from 11.4. Same for you, if you don't want to use Tumbleweed, just drop that one repo, and everything reverts back to a stable release level.
The size... I didn't think that disk space is the problem nowadays, but looks like it is.
No, it's not a "size" for disk space, it's a "how to manage this number of packages" issue. It also handles dependancies better, see the fun we have with libreoffice constantly rebuilding for an example of that. I don't think you really want that for hundreds of packages all the time.
What license issues are you seeing today? What non-oss package do you want in Tumbleweed?
I do not see any license problems today. Moreover I do not stick any strict license policy. But it is a good practice to split repo this way I think. May be in future.
We will cross that bridge when we get to it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
