openSUSE 项目的长期贡献者 Richard Brown 分享了最近贡献者调查的一些结果。


这是关于用新的社区构建的产品取代 openSUSE Leap 的兴趣和可行性。哦？一个 openSUSE Leap 的替代品？


有趣的消息，对吧？ ?


这并不令人震惊。随着 <ruby> 适应性 Linux 平台 <rt>  Adaptable Linux Platform </rt></ruby> （ALP） 的推出，openSUSE 团队曾 [暗示](https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/N6TTE7ZBY7GFJ27XSDTXRF3MVLF6HW4W/) Leap 将于 **2022** 停止运营。所以，这是预料之中的。


但是，有哪些选择可以替代 openSUSE Leap？


### Tumbleweed 衍生版可能取代 Leap


根据这份更换提案，我们有两种选择：


* **Linarite**：一个普通的老式桌面发行版，软件包的选择范围可能比我们习惯的 Leap 更小，除非我们找到更多的贡献者来支持所有的软件包。
* **Slowroll** ：是 Tumbleweed 的衍生版本，尽可能地自动构建，使用自动化和度量标准仅在特定条件（最大周期、X 周无变化等）后才从 Tumbleweed 复制软件包。基本上，它试图提供比全速运行的 Tumbleweed 不那么风险的东西。

> 作为这件事的后继，openSUSE 现在为 Slowroll 做了一个 [页面](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll) 供你测试。
>

然而，调查结果显示意见不一。


大多数**用户**选择 “**Slowroll**” 作为未来可行的替代方案，他们愿意为此做出贡献。


相比之下，**贡献者**们则投票不取代 openSUSE Leap 或使用 Tumbleweed 替代它。


但是，在选择一个选项时，贡献者选择了 “**Linarite**”。


因此，用户和现有贡献者有不同的选择。


openSUSE 决定按照**用户**的喜好使用滚动发行版 Slowroll。它需要比调查中表示感兴趣的更多的贡献者。


Richard 还透露，**两个替代方案中的任何一个都需要比 Leap** 付出更多的努力，而且截至目前，对这两个选项感兴趣的 **贡献者数量比 Leap** 少。



> 
> 即使有 61 个人直接为代码库和 backports/PackageHub 做出贡献，Leap 仍然举步维艰。这时我们就可以借用 SLE 代码库，这大大减少了所需的工作。
> 
> 
> Slowroll 或 Linarite 都比 Leap 需要更多的打包和维护工作。
> 
> 
> 


他还强调，**任何 Leap 替代品都应该专注于桌面场景**，而不是试图同时兼顾服务器和桌面的需求。


### 换还是不换？


[调查结果公告](https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/KJMMAZFTP2MPKWKFZCYUROZFJ44BNVB5/) 要求社区回答 openSUSE 是否应该继续替换 Leap。


而且，如果他们继续这样做，社区可以帮助他们支持吗？


? 你认为 openSUSE 的最终决定应该是什么？ 请在下面的评论部分告诉我你的想法。

Richard Brown, a long-time contributor to the openSUSE project, shared some results from a recent contributor survey.

It was about the interest and feasibility of replacing openSUSE Leap with a new community-built offering. Yes? A replacement to openSUSE Leap?

Interesting news, right? 😳

It's not shocking. The openSUSE team [hinted](https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/N6TTE7ZBY7GFJ27XSDTXRF3MVLF6HW4W/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) at Leap being discontinued in **2022** with the introduction of the **Adaptable Linux Platform** (ALP). So, it was expected.

But, what are the options to replace openSUSE Leap with?

## A Derivative of Tumbleweed Likely to Replace Leap

As per the replacement proposal, we have two options:

**Linarite**:*A regular old-fashioned release desktop distribution, likely with a narrower package selection than we're used to with Leap unless we find significantly more contributors to be able to support everything***Slowroll**:*A derivative of Tumbleweed, built automatically as much as possible, using automation and metrics to copy packages from Tumbleweed only after certain conditions (max age, X weeks without change, etc). Basically an attempt to provide something less scary than full speed Tumbleweed.*

[webpage for Slowroll](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll?ref=news.itsfoss.com)for you to test.

However, the survey results show a mixed bag of opinions.

Most **users** choose "**Slowroll**" as a viable replacement going forward, which they would like to contribute to.

In contrast, **contributors** voted not to replace openSUSE Leap or use Tumbleweed instead.

But, when choosing one option, the contributors chose "**Linarite**".

So, the users and existing contributors have different choices.

OpenSUSE decides to go with the users' preference as Slowroll, a rolling release distro. It would need more contributors than what the survey highlights as interested.

Richard also revealed that either of the **two replacements will need more effort than Leap**, and as of now, the **contributors interested in both options are fewer in number when compared to Leap**.

Leap has struggled even with 61 folk contributing directly to the codebase and backports/PackageHub. And this is when we've had the SLE codebase to borrow from, which dramatically reduced the work required.

Either Slowroll or Linarite would require considerably more packaging and maintenance work than Leap.

He also emphasized that **any Leap replacement should focus on desktop use cases** rather than trying to cater to both server and desktop.

## To Replace or Not?

The [announcement of survey results](https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/KJMMAZFTP2MPKWKFZCYUROZFJ44BNVB5/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) challenges the community to answer if openSUSE should proceed with replacing Leap or not.

And, if they go ahead, can the community help them support it?
