Announcing Tumbleweed Snapshots

The newly announced openSUSE "Tumbleweed snapshots" feature is an attempt to makerolling distributions a little easier for those who don't want to stay onthe leading edge all the time. In essence, it keeps a snapshot of thestate of the distribution at regular intervals and enables users to installapplications from their particular snapshot. That allows the installationof new applications without the need to drag in everything else that mayhave changed since the system as a whole was updated."Tumbleweed Snapshotsprovides the best of both worlds, the latest packages when you want them and theone package you need in the middle of working on a project."
