openSUSE build service becomes productive ...
by Adrian Schröter 31 May '06

31 May '06

The build service is still in its alpha phase, but we will use it for producing our supplementarry updates from now on. This means the build service does create already packages for daily usage. Interesting projects which get build there currently are * KDE:KDE3 (contains already KDE 3.5.3 and Qt 3.3.6) * KDE:Backports (contains updated KDE apps without the need to update also the complete KDE (big advantage compared to supplementarry)) * OSCAR cluster software * Various groupware software (Kolab, OX, eGroupWare) * Apache + php * Kernel * the openSUSE:Tool chain This means that the supplementarry dirs for KDE and misc got moved from ftp.suse.com to the build service. Gnome will follow. The packages are accessable via http://software.opensuse.org/download/ Installation instructions are available at http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/User -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian(a)suse.de

SUSE Linux 10.1 Release
by Andreas Jaeger 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hi all, After lot of work and several delays, we proudly announce the availability of SUSE Linux 10.1. In tribute to 42 and as today is the fifth anniversary of the death of Douglas Adams, we dedicate this release to him. It can be downloaded as described below and on http://download.openSUSE.org in x86, x86-64, and ppc versions - both via ftp from our mirrors and bittorrent. We'd appreciate if you use bittorrent to share the download with others. Initially we offer as ISOs the 5 CD open source version plus our add-on CD with proprietary portions, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, RealNetworks RealPlayer, and Sun Java Runtime Environment. DVDs will be available for download from Thursday, May 18. Additionally two ftp trees are available - one with only open source packages and one with non open source packages. The open source tree contains packages build from more than 3100 source RPMs. As usual, we ship all the latest open source packages available at the time. But we want to give special mention to Xgl for 3D acceleration on the desktop (http://www.opensuse.org/xgl), NetworkManager for getting painless wifi access everywhere, the completely open source AppArmor 2.0, and the full integration of XEN 3 in YaST. We'd like to thank you all for testing heavily, reporting bugs, giving feedback on mailing lists, etc., and in general for supporting and participating in creating SUSE Linux 10.1. Have a lot of fun! Michael, Adrian and Andreas P.S.: Here're all the details for downloading: SUSE Linux 10.1 is offered via bittorrent and via normal download. Please use a mirror or the download.opensuse.org URL which directs you to a mirror. The distribution comes with 5 CDs.

SUSE Linux 10.1 is Done
by Andreas Jaeger 05 May '06

05 May '06

We mastered wednesday RC4, fixed bugs and then mastered RC5 and declared that last night as goldmaster (= final version). We only did a limited set of media for now and will do the final sets, all the delta ISOs (both from RC1 and RC3), and a proper frozen ftp tree on monday and distribute it to the mirrors so that we can announce and release this version next thursday (12th of May). Thanks a lot for all your testing, bug reporting, comments and encouragement through this especially long beta and release phase of SUSE Linux 10.1. I've heard early quite some critizisms but also in the end a lot of people saying that 10.1 is now a great release - and I would like to thank you for your part in making it great! This is intented as a quick FYI - I'll make a proper announcement next week with the release announcement, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj(a)suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
