Changes at openSUSE
After some confusing communications
(example) the folks at SUSE have come clean on a change for the openSUSE
distribution: paid SUSE staff will no longer work on creating openSUSE
releases. It is claimed that the amount of
work going into openSUSE is not decreasing, it is just being put into other
areas. Meanwhile, the community is trying to figure out how to
"release without full time paid worker bees
". The current
plan seems to be to put out 13.2 in
November, with SUSE still providing security support thereafter.
Update: see also this note from Greg
Freemyer. "The openSUSE team @ suse therefore has decided to take a 8-month
period to push away from day-to-day issues and instead focus on the
improvements needed in [the Open Build Service] and openQA to handle the requirements
caused by the success of OBS.
