Re: [opensuse] Ah, now we can install it?

Agreed, the schedule is:- 2 months more for 12.2, 10 months more for 12.3, 18 months for 13.1
Yes.
Evergreen has a pretty small support team and they are all volunteer. Thus they tend to watch the security patches come out for 12.2/12.3 currently, then back port them to 11.4. Sometimes the backport is difficult, so they simply update the whole package to a newer one, so it does happen, but not very often.
And that's why it doesn't get much attention.
Also a lot of the packages on OBS don't build against the Evergreen release, so you don't have as many packages to choose from. Evergreen is focused on stability, so you do loose some flexibility if you go that way.
That's why I would wait for some time so that a more neat and clean 13.1 can be downloaded, just some problems/issues (if any) get eradicated in a months' time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There is no cleaner installation medium (iso image) then one that is released, so you can wait quite a long to get one. :) When the problem is installation with certain configuration of hardware and storage (partitions), there will be no improvements to medium, just workarounds, but you can't know before you start installation. Amount of time you wait will not change anything. The only thing that will be better with time is what comes trough update channel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- On the other hand, if you have some exotic storage configuration like mine, just use defaults. I tried to use btrfs, instead of default, ext4 and to add problems I changed default btrfs configuration that was tested by SUSE guys. Result was that grub2 did not install to my btrfs, I had to reboot, and then due to unusual partitioning there was no boot at all. Grub2 was looking one partition and bootable system was on the other. Later, few reboots between live system and halfway installed, I started installation again and used defaults, including ext4 and system was up and running. I can't blame YaST Installer for any of the problems. It was all mine. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
