What is being rumored now in some blogs is that there will be no
openSUSE
releases together with Factory development, but just a rolling
version of
openSUSE. Hence my doubts...
And mine. And I'm scared stiff.
If the normal openSUSE releases are stopped, then I'm out. Have to
find
another distro, plain as that...
Uhmm I do not get why so many confusion here.
We spend some time working on Factory, the base of openSUSE, to build a better, more stable and more reliable rolling distribution ever.
The next version of openSUSE distribution will be based, so, in a better Factory. So the news here is that we are going to have better openSUSEs in the future, because the base is more curated, not that we are not going to have any openSUSE release anymore.
The problem here is that people read "rolling" and "distribution" and automatically say, "Hey, there will be no more openSUSE releases. From now on openSUSE will be a rolling release distribution only".
Is sad how good news like 'we have the best Factory ever after changing the development model' can be translated into 'no more openSUSE'
Exactly. That's what I want to cut from the roots before it get spread everywhere if it is the case.
What we have is more, not less. Now the user (me) have the option to decide to use a no-movable distribution for daily work (openSUSE XX.X) or something that is really stable and blending edge and moveable (Factory).
Easy.
That's what I understood and I really appreciate the efforts done in this direction. I may start using Factory in a netbook in the near future.
By the way, those rumors are from...?
At the moment I think I've read it in a couple of blogs (don't remember the sources, sorry), but we all know how fast things can be spread in the web. Maybe I myself contributed to the confusion in an opinion comment I did in a forum: "Goodbye Tumbleweed, hello Factory rolling?" (not in English, of course, XD), but the title clearly says "Factory rolling" (in the sense of a more mature and stable Factory). Here applies my first comment in this message. Personally, I don't have anything against a rolling openSUSE or the current model. If it fits my needs I'll continue using openSUSE, and if it doesn't I'll look other ways.
