Sharing code between openSUSE and SLE |
 |
Last week, the developers of openSUSE announced the availability of a beta build of the upcoming 15.3 "Leap" distribution. This was just one of the many routine distribution release announcements that appear on DistroWatch daily, directed more towards beta testers and ardent followers rather than the general public. As such, chances are that many simply skipped the news or read it with only a passing interest. And yet, the announcement included a rather surprising change - a repository merge that essentially closes the gap between openSUSE and its enterprise-class sister project, SUSE Linux Enterprise. SUSE's Gerald Pfeifer explains: "Leap 15.3 is the first release where openSUSE Leap and SUSE Linux Enterprise share the same source code and use the exact same binary packages. ... A community distribution that is binary compatible with an Enterprise Linux distribution offers unmatched choice. openSUSE Leap not only provides the same quality as SLE, it also combines that with the amazing ecosystem of openSUSE, which offers thousands of additional community-maintained software packages. Previously you had to choose between super rock-solid (we do need to stress that Leap was, of course, also very solid already) and a large choice of software packages, but no more. You can have both at the same time now." This is perhaps the reason why the beta snapshot of SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 3 was released at the same time as the beta of openSUSE Leap 15.3. |
