Re: How openSUSE version numbers relate to SUSE Enterprise?

What I really mean with the question is: when a new features in
opensuse should appear on SLE? for example right now we have openSUSE
11 with some visual differences compared to openSUSE version 10. Also
we have SLE 10. Will SLE 11 include the new features in openSUSE 11?

There is no "openSUSE 11". There is "openSUSE 11.0" The number 11 is not
a counting tool, it is a marketing tool.

openSUSE and SLE are based on Factory. So if it is in factory it will
end up in both. (Obviously unless there is a good reason not to put it
in)

So it is not that something that is in openSUSE 11.0 will end up in SLE
11 or that anything in SLE 11 will end up in openSUSE 11.1. It is that
they are both forks of Factory.

Just as you have openSUSE 11.0 KDE CD, openSUSE 11.0 GNOME CD, the 32bit
DVD, 64 bit, boxed version, promo version, ...
From a technical point of view, they are all different versions. All
they do is click on different things to include or not on the build
server.

So they do not take a openSUSE 11.0 CD and say "let's make SLE 11 based
on this". What do do is take Factory and say "Let's make the new distro
based on this"

This process has been done inhouse, but now you can do it at home:
