opensuse-distro-aliases 0.2.4

Aliases for active openSUSE releases

This project provides a list of the currently maintained openSUSE distributions. It is the openSUSE equivalent of fedora-distro-aliases.

Usage

>>> from opensuse_distro_aliases import get_distro_aliases
>>> aliases = get_distro_aliases()

Obtain the name and version of all currently active releases:

>>> [f"{d.name} {d.version}" for d in aliases["opensuse-all"]]
['openSUSE Leap 15.6', 'openSUSE Leap 15.5', 'openSUSE Leap Micro 6.0', 'openSUSE Leap Micro 5.5', 'openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240714']

Get the corresponding main development project in the Open Build Service:

>>> [f"{d.name}: {d.obs_project_name}" for d in aliases["opensuse-all"]]
['openSUSE Leap: openSUSE:Leap:15.6', 'openSUSE Leap: openSUSE:Leap:15.5', 'openSUSE Leap Micro: openSUSE:Leap:Micro:6.0', 'openSUSE Leap Micro: openSUSE:Leap:Micro:5.5', 'openSUSE Tumbleweed: openSUSE:Factory']

The caveat of the function get_distro_aliases is that it performs network calls, which can be slow, flaky or otherwise unavailable (e.g. in koji or OBS builds). Since the openSUSE distribution releases are quite seldom, we provide the pre-fetched result of get_distro_aliases as the constant CACHED_ACTIVE_DISTRIBUTION_ALIASES. The only difference between the pre-fetched and the fetched value should be the version of openSUSE Tumbleweed (this version changes daily, but has otherwise little significance).
