After the Richard talk at OSC, the status of openSUSE stays unclear, that's normal it have to be discussed, but I see it like this:
* Tumbleweed, the rolling release will the distribution for advanced users * openSUSE? * I new variant (name?) will be more stable, very long time support (at least 3 years), yearly release?
In fact it may not be usefull to have three kind of distros, if Tumbleweed is stable enough *and* can cope with proprietary video drivers and Virtualbox drivers (is that kmp?), because it's the only reason one needs really the present openSUSE version
Actually I would see * Tumbleweed (hopefully a bit more stable and usable with regard to 3rd party integration support (nvidia, virtualbox etc)) * openSUSE $VERSION could/should be based on the SLE code but have - replaced/updated (Gnome and whatever we need newer) and - added (KDE and whatever important packages/desktops are missing in SLES) components Now some questions for details coming up: - do we want the SLES codebase to be installable on its own and have the replaced and additional components optional in additional repos? - leading to two update/maintenance streams for the overlap - Or will this openSUSE dist replace things and create only one repository for that? With the latter I see the "problem" that it'll be very hard to come to a conclusion in the community what to replace/override. This decision will also be hard for the former though but then the user still can decide if he wants to follow the openSUSE fancy stuff or the more ?more? stable SLES core by using an overlay repository. Given that we already have these kind of overlay repos in OBS (KDE, Gnome, etc) having a relatively small set of packages replacing/updating the SLES part but probably focus more on additional ones to compensate the big difference between amount of openSUSE and SLES packages could be a way forward.
