there needs to be some middle ground found for project "support" (however that ends up being defined) other that "Go buy SLES/D ..."
openSUSE provides security fixes and fixes for major bugs for 24 months.
I understand the "question" wasn't the period, but what. Only security patches is/was the SUSE policy for many years. Has this changed, and it includes non security related bugs? What is the policy to decide which bugs are "repaired"?
Of course it includes non-security bugs. We however try to limit it to critical bugs just after release of the current product. Decision is on a case by case basis, decided by the maintenance team and the project manager.
I think this area - the level of support for openSUSE - is one of the areas where openSUSE is really strong, therefore demanding more seems a bit unrealistic. And developers wasting time on old stuff, takes away resources from doing useful things with current stuff.
Usually, yes, but 11.1 got out with so many flaws that an effort to "polish" the quality of a release is the proper thing to do.
That we do ... but there should not be that many flaws left.
I'm in favor of clearing all known bugs in software before going ahead to a new version (unless agreed not to with "client"). This is not what industry does, but it is my policy.
We would never get new things release in that case. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
