• Community Refines Git Packaging Workflow 19. • Feb 2026 | Douglas DeMaio | CC-BY-SA-3.0 Contributors and developers within openSUSE Project recently met to coordinate the Git-based packaging workflow for Leap 16 and discussed how the process applies to the Leap distribution going forward, but not to the rolling-release Tumbleweed, which still needs some work to transition. • The workflow, built on Gitea as the UI platform, represents a shift toward a more transparent, package-centric development. • Architectural decisions documented by the project include adopting Git as the sole version control system, using pull requests for change management and standardizing workflows across repositories. • Package sources for all official distributions are hosted at src.opensuse.org/pool. • Community packages use branches named leap-x.y, such as leap-16.0.
