Not to paraphrase Sherlock, but….

 

I was under the assumption that:

-      the extensive KIWI-ng docu reflected the Kiwi scripts that are available with several distro-releases,

-      those got updated from the GIT resources

-      the scripts in GIT are just the very latest versions before the got into the update mechanisms of each related distro

-      the suggested GIT contents was only for updated configs etc

 

Am I totally mistaken, and should I remove all kiwi-related distro (sles | leap |tumbleweed | Debian | Ubuntu) packages, and  ONLY depend on all of the content obtained from GIT?

 

Not to be poky, but just to be sure…

Hey,

At the moment, there are only three distributions where you can be
reasonably confident that kiwi is up to date in the distribution
repositories:

* Fedora (as kiwi-cli)
* EL9/EL10 (e.g. CentOS Stream/RHEL/AlmaLinux/etc.) through EPEL (as kiwi-cli)
* openSUSE Tumbleweed (as python3-kiwi)

For everything else, you'd need to use our packages from our OBS
repository: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=Virtualization%3AAppliances%3ABuilder&package=python-kiwi

The kiwi project developers currently directly maintain and provide
community guidance for packages for Fedora, CentOS
Stream/RHEL/AlmaLinux, and openSUSE Tumbleweed. We provide best-effort
community assistance for all other distributions.

For SUSE Linux Enterprise, that is supported by SUSE with their own
support policy as part of your subscription.

For Fedora and CentOS/RHEL/AlmaLinux, commercial support options are
available through my company Velocity Limitless:
