But it'd be nice if there was a Tumbleweed current link (perhaps the one without a version number?) pointing to the versioned repository, so that the last state can, if needed, be restored. Given the way that obs is set up, I don't know how we could do that, unless I start versioning the main Tumbleweed repo itself (12.1, 12.2, etc.)
Right - but Tumbleweed itself could always point to the latest (just like the openSUSE-current symlink). I don't see why you're saying this would cause more work for you; noone expects you to keep continuing to work on Tumbleweed-$(n-1) once the new openSUSE version is out.
I really value the effort you put into tumbleweed; I'm not actually asking you to do more work, just keep the work of the past around as fall-back if something goes wrong or someone needs to take a look at the legacy Tumbleweed N-1 state for a migration period for whatever reason. I understand the reluctance here, and look forward to the topic coming up evern 8 months or so :)
For what it is worth, I'm right now trying to figure out why my openbox no longer works in 12.2 as it did in 12.1+Tumbleweed; and because the repository is deleted, I can't just compare sources or the build log anymore. Imagine someone throwing away the commits for 2.6.x just because 3.x has been released ;-) Regards, Lars -- Architect Storage/HA SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." -- Oscar Wilde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
