More Enterprise than ever before

Previous versions of openSUSE Leap did a great job to keep sources alike, however different build configuration resulted in various feature sets on both sides. In early 2020 SUSE started the Closing The Leap Gap effort to bring openSUSE Leap and SUSE Linux Enterprise close together than ever by unifying feature sets and building openSUSE Leap on top of binary packages from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3.

We expect full binary identicality in openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta and Public Beta of SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 both are aiming at Early 2021. More information about the progress on identicality can be found here.
