openSUSE rolling release

Salutare dragi membrii ai Comunităţii openSUSE România, bine v-am găsit in 2011! Semne bune anul are pentru utilizatorii distribuţiei openSUSE. Anul trecut în blogul personal prezentam câteva bârfe privind trecerea la standartul de rolling release a două distribuţii printre care si openSUSE. Se pare că bârfa a început să se materializeze prin Proiectul Tumbleweed, citez:
The goal of the Tumbleweed project is to create a ‘rolling release’ version of openSUSE. A rolling release distribution (like Arch Linux or Gentoo) always offers the latest stable versions of a package as updates so that when a new release of any upstream software surfaces, users actually don’t have to do a distribution upgrade. The packages will simply be part of the usual updates. You could see openSUSE Factory, our development tree, as a rolling release distribution – but there is a crucial difference. Tumbleweed only offers stable packages – where Factory often tracks upstream developments like beta and rc releases of the kernel, GNOME or other projects. Compared to Factory, Tumbleweed should be more stable and dependable. Compared to just sticking with the normal openSUSE updates, Tumbleweed has the advantage that your OS is always up to date and new releases of your distro become less interesting – you essentially have them when they are released. The potential downside is a slightly larger risk of breakage – as all Tumbleweed users update on different schedules, conflicts might arise, and Tumbleweed can’t go through the same testing as a normal openSUSE release.
Baza acestui proiect există deja şi foloseşte openSUSE 11.3 şi este disponibil pentru testare: If you want to test out Tumbleweed, just go and add the Tumbleweed Repository as a repo to openSUSE 11.3: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Then run: $ zypper dup and enjoy your newly updated kernel, samba, and other packages!
Ca să nu mă întind prea tare la vorbă vă întreb astfel: este de bun augur apariţia versiunii rolling release ? Pentru a vă exprima părerea am creat o topică în cadrul forumului: http://forum.suseromania.ro/topic/opensuse-rolling-release
