The starting point of the discussion was the idea to provide Leap users access to up-to-date software in those areas where they need it, while keeping the rest of the system stable. That's a very reasonable thing to want to have.
The question is how to get there. [...] I hear people say that devel repos don't work for this purpose, because they're all targeted for factory. I wonder whether that has to be that way.
I would like to think of /games and /devel/gcc running just fine with the devel repo model. But perhaps these are given higher priorities by the userbase and/or maintainers. Hi Like an openSUSE Package Hub, just like it's done for SLE....
My understanding is Package Hub is generally using the Leap packages so it won't provide much help in this case.
Hi Packages must exist in Factory/Tumbleweed to go back into Backports. Sure version X.Y might exist in Leap, but Y.Z in Tumbleweed which is what would be subbed to this 'Community Backports' repository... It really is just an aggregation of all those later version leaf packages that are present in Tumbleweed, but not Leap. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) Tumbleweed 20200614 | GNOME Shell 3.36.3 | 5.7.1-1-default Intel DQ77MK MB | Xeon E3-1245 V2 X8 @ 3.40 GHz | Intel/Nvidia up 1 day 3:04, 2 users, load average: 0.33, 0.77, 1.55 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
