this? Or the advantages or pitfalls (if any) of each. I'd be much obliged; even more so if it's kept to words of one syllable, since I'm a dabbler not an expert.
The LTS repository is for development and packaging of updates that go to Leap, since it will *only* contain Long Term Support software (e.g. Plasma 5.8 only and KDE Frameworks 5 5.26). It's also built against Qt 5.6, which ships in Leap.
The other repository is what is used for development and packaging of regular packages that will also end up in Tumbleweed.
Use of either one is unsupported, so if something breaks, you get to keep the pieces.
Thank you. And yes; I understand that, including supportability issues. But, although I described myself as a dabbler rather than an expert, I've been using openSUSE as my main system for many years (since os/2 ran out of steam), so I'm an "experienced user". In that capacity I like to keep up with the bleeding edge without overdoing it, and have done so without trouble for all that time and through many versions of openSUSE. I currently have Leap 42.1, Leap 42.2 and Tumbleweed on this machine, multi-boot, with 42.2 as the currently preferred working system. So, against that background and in full knowledge that the repositories concerned are "unsupported", if I wished to keep 42.2 up with the latest and greatest despite the risks, which of those two repositories is the most relevant? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
