It is my experience it doesn't work that way. Once I packaged a java program for the science project. I submitted it and it was rejected because the java code was not build from the source. I resubmitted it, this time building the program from the source, but it was rejected again because the build process required the Oracle java SDK. Finally the program ended up in home:gcomes.obs:science > If only Tumbleweed or Slowroll provides the required versions, so be it. > I think noone seriously expects the latest technology to be available in Leap. Well, I am a system administrator and I use only Leap for me and my users. You cannot imagine the headache you get trying keep stable a rolling release distribution. Just to make you an example, in the past weeks it was not possible to upgrade to kernel 6.11 and have at the same time installed the modules vhba-kmp and virtualbox-kmp. Right now, forget about installing python311-numba. It's 3 weeks since this is the case and who know how many weeks more we have to wait in order to have it installable again. And since the last tumbleweed update, it's goodbye telegram-desktop. Besides, if you need HW acceleration for NVIDIA or AMD forget about tumbleweed.
