If there where not box, we could have now a 11.1.2 dvd. No other change needed. Exactly what you get with an install then 4/5 hours of dl right now, mostly for people without dl capacity, and convenience.
As Marcus said, creating these DVD would take time and effort, and has no relation with the box. We could in theory have respins even if there is a boxed version.
The point is that respins are not worth the time and the effort if not in extreme cases (see 10.1). You talk about 4-5 hours to install patches, but that's the case only if you install months after release and repeat the installation many times. If you are in the second case
Well, you have to install 11.1 about now to get enough updates to make it usable. Kernel crashed here till the last, recent update.
If making a second release is too much effort, how about releasing an add-on CD/DVD disk with the updates? Maybe including it with the box.
The add-on update DVD is not a problem. Handpick last updates, download and burn. It is work, but it's not everyday work. I was talking about respin, just because there is a base that GM was created from. Replace packages with updated versions and run kiwi again. If everyone has to do that there will be no guaranteed quality, and individual mistakes will be attributed to openSUSE, not individual that made them. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
