SUSE Linux 10.0 OSS Beta 2 "Boston" is available. Major changes since Beta 1 are * OpenOffice.org is part of the distribution again. The Sun Java dependency is optional now. * XEN3 support got added * Gnome was updated to 2.12 beta 2 * Hotplug did change heavily. Please test it way more heavily. * KDE received work on multimedia system and the media handling Please report all problems in bugzilla.novell.com. The known list of problems is documented at: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Bugs:most_annoying_bugs One of the biggest problem is the different broken support for SATA CD-ROM drives. Delta ISOs ========== Delta ISOs allow to download a small file instead of downloading the complete ISO if you have the previous ISO. Just do: $ applydeltaiso old delta new applydeltaiso is avaible via the deltarpm package. For example: $ applydeltaiso SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1-CD1.iso \ SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1_Beta2-CD1.delta.iso \ SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta2-CD1.iso And check the MD5SUMS afterwards. Note since we changed the disk layout for CDs 3 and 4, the size of the deltas was 500 MB each and therefore we did not create these. have a lot of fun :) adrian -- Adrian Schroeter Project Manager openSUSE SuSE AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de ------------------------------------------------------- -- Adrian Schroeter SuSE AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de

Delta ISOs ==========

I am sorry to tell that delta isos are corrupt atm. We have to find out the reason before we can offer them again. The files have been removed from the server, please do not try to use them. You will get a corrupted ISO image. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SuSE AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de

We do release too often and too fast for this.

I know the mirrors are working for free so I do not want to push anything towards bandwidth usage and so on. What I thought about is deploying the files to "primary" (selected) mirrors first before announcing. Assumed you release SUSE Linux 10.0 beta3 release on Aug 25, 2005 you could start deploying the package one day before and give primary mirrors the chance to catch up within 24 hours.

The result will be that people see it and start moaning why it was not anounced. :-/ houghi -- The problem with being best man at a wedding is that you never get a chance to prove it.

Hmmm ... I do not use BitTorrent so I have to stay back? Did I say that? I use bit torrent because it's usually fast enough for me and it's nice to give something back to community. ;-) But hey, it's your choice, do not blame me for that.

That's a hell of a lot faster than the torrent - I can't get anything out of the torrent, even with 19 peers... -Chris

Here at my facility BitTorrent is blocked as a Peer2Peer-Software like Kazaa, Imesh and so on. I have tried to trigger a download with the Windows-Client and the Linux-Client causing my machine to stop going online for 120 minutes. Thank goodness my administrator is on the opposite site of my desk ;-) But now we are going to be OT on the topic.

Delta ISOs ========== Delta ISOs allow to download a small file instead of downloading the complete ISO if you have the previous ISO. Just do:

$ applydeltaiso old delta new

applydeltaiso is avaible via the deltarpm package.

For example:

$ applydeltaiso SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1-CD1.iso \ SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1_Beta2-CD1.delta.iso \ SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta2-CD1.iso

And check the MD5SUMS afterwards.

Note since we changed the disk layout for CDs 3 and 4, the size of the deltas was 500 MB each and therefore we did not create these.

We just synced fixed Delta ISOs to ftp.opensuse.org. However, it might take some time for mirrors to catch up. After downloading the Delta ISOs please check the MD5SUMS: 1a5c215217f428a67b63fd16f7e46d05 SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1_Beta2-CD1.delta.iso d0f04ba56eb8aa1bdc290c49a49ff673 SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-Beta1_Beta2-CD2.delta.iso dae4be891d12b742e76e6db3a617b0e4 SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-Beta1_Beta2-CD1.delta.iso 71f12000d1935eaabd745d5716e349c0 SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-Beta1_Beta2-CD2.delta.iso Note: If you are running SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta1 and want to use applydeltaiso, you have to update bzip2 to be able to apply Delta ISOs. Just use the bzip2 rpm from SUSE Linux 10.0 Beta2, which is available at http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-beta2/inst-sou... for i386 and http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-beta2/inst-sou... for x86_64. Download the appropriate rpm and install it by running "rpm -Uvh bzip2-1.0.3-5.*.rpm". Regards Christoph
