What if we do it the other way around? We have Tumbleweed as the "official" openSUSE version (which is only rebased when SLES is released), and we periodically pull out a version of Tumbleweed and release it as a versioned openSUSE? This version would be frozen with a specific set of package versions, and the release cycle would only involve fixing problems in those versions? That way we avoid the problem of new updates breaking existing fixes during the polishing phase.
That might take some planning and re-thinking, but.. if we were to move openSUSE to a full rolling release? That would get my +1 vote. I think there are some significant bumps down that road... but... it's at least worth considering, in my uninformed and often myopic view of things. :-) C. -- openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, KDE 4.8.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
