Quick inquiry into where to ask or demand for new packages or versions to be included into 42.3? On this list? Example: please upgrade shorewall package (shorewall.net) at least to the one from tumbleweed 5.0.x or better to current stable releases 5.1.x […]
anyone can create an account on build.opensuse.org and get involved. Also in general anyone can do a "submit request" which in this case would be the update from openSUSE:Factory to openSUSE:Leap:42.3 but it might be beneficial to get in contact with the maintainer of the package. Maybe there is a good reason why there has been no update already submitted. Maybe the maintainer is thankful for your reminder.
Anyone can, but not anyone should, you should only do that if A) You are willing to provide security / maintenance updates in Leap 42.3 as required or B) you have spoken to someone else ie the maintainer and they are happy to do this for you. Either way you should speak to the maintainer first if you are not the maintainer.
Simon, Correct me if I'm wrong and this is my understanding, and may not have any bearing on reality. :) ===== There is a LeapBot scanning factory and somehow making autonomous (or rule-based) decisions to send SRs from factory to Leap 42.3. The maintainers get a review SR notice and it is in their queue. The maintainer has to take an active step of saying OK (or similar) to the SR before it accepted into Leap 42.3 Thus maintainers of both packages and Leap 42.3 have an established workflow. ===== So you're saying that while the LeapBot can send SRs without talking to the maintainers, us humans have to first talk to the maintainer, then initiate the SR. First time I recall being relegated to a status lower than a bot. :( Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
