This is how Greg described openSUSE Tumbleweed:
I'd like to propose "openSUSE Tumbleweed" a repo that is a rolling updated version of openSUSE containing the latest "stable" versions of packages for people to use.
Latest Stable versions of packages as a criteria seems perhaps a little thin. In addition I would suggest no package in that repo can require a package later than is contained in the repo. So just because the maintainer THINKS abcd-1.1 is stable, the fact that it requires wxyz-2.3.4 when wxyz-2.3.3 is the latest stable in the repo would be sufficient to keep abcd-1.1 out of the repo. I'm sure I haven't thought this thru very well, but you can see where I'm going here. Tumbleweed should be rolling rock solid, otherwise its no different than factory. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
