Just wondering: I don't know why we don't have an installable build yet, but are we noting the reasons somewhere so that we can make sure it won't happen in the next cycle?
I guess the biggest mistake we keep on repeating: promising release dates of betas :)
Integrating such a big project as a linux distribution is a pretty unpredictable process, so it's a miracle we manage the thursday that often.
In a perfect world I would have liked to have automatic, nightly media builds - or medias built automatically whenever the distribution is in a consistent state.
Another idea would be to keep a repository that's always consistent, and a mechanism for identifying sets of packages that can be copied from the development repo to the consistent repo without breaking dependency consistency.
I don't think this is impossible - there are other distributions out there that publish nightly media builds. Maybe there's something we can learn from those.
What do you think is our Factory lacking here ? It is synced out only after nothing more is to build. Of course, if there is something broken inside, it gets synced out, until someone is fixing it. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
