Hi,
in the openSUSE conference in the last week, we noticed that lots of
packages for openSUSE Leap 42.2 just inherit from openSUSE Leap 42.1,
and they won't be updated to Tumbleweed / FACTORY version
automatically but kept as is. This is also seen for many M17N
packages. So here is my post.
You can check the origin of the openSUSE Leap 42.2 packages by reading
00Meta/lookup.yml file:
% osc less openSUSE:Leap:42.2/00Meta/lookup.yml
It'll show each package and its origin in a list. For example,
ibus: openSUSE:Leap:42.1:Update
ibus-anthy: SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:GA
....
This indicates that ibus itself is taken from 42.1-update while
ibus-anthy (actually all ibus modules and tables) are taken from
SLE12-SP2.
If anyone has some time, please help the following:
* Review which M17N packages should be updated to TW version
* Check whether any important package is missing in the list
If there is such, you can submit it simply like
% osc sr openSUSE:Factory/xxx openSUSE:Leap:42.2
where xxx is the package name. Of course, this assumes that the TW
package can be built cleanly and works with oS 42.2 as is.
One additional note: submitting TW version to 42.2 means that we'll
fork the package and essentially we'll be responsible for maintaining
42.2 repository in addition to TW and SLE12-* repos. That is, if the
version is as same as SLE12 (up to -SP2), it'd be likely better to
leave SLE12, and let SUSE team maintaining the package.
thanks,
Takashi
