Hi,As announced in December¹, Leap 42.3 is already open forsubmissions. We shouldn't expect big updates in 42.3, neverthelesssome went in already, like texlive 2016. Also, some packages that wealready know SLE will take from Factory also got updated like e.g.YaST. So far the current state looks quite good in openQA² so theadventurous may already zypper dup.What's missing still is a roadmap for the release. SLE12SP3 aims fora release in September. Due to the holiday season in August wheremany developers are likely unavailable anyways development isexpected to be finished before. So my proposal would be to alsofinish with Leap before and aim for a release at the last Wednesdayof July.With regard to the release model I'd like to try something new.Rather than having fixed milestones with fixed submission deadlinesevery few weeks let's try to adopt a model similar to Tumbleweed's.Ie have snapshots released automatically based on openQA results.Nevertheless the closer we get to the release the stricter the rulesfor updating packages have to be.cuLudwig[1] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-12/msg00165.html [2] https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/28 --(o_ Ludwig Nussel//\V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard,Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg)--To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxTo contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@xxxxxxxxxxxx
