Hi!
As mentioned in the RC1 announcement, we're doing only internal testing
of the following release candidates to avoid storming the mirrors. But we
decided to upload the live CDs, so you can test these and see if there are
regressions in what you reported.
You can find them at
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3-RC2/iso/cd/
80397c4ffb1c33097303b70c6863b63e openSUSE-10.3-RC2-GNOME-Live-i386.iso
ed7abd1d1517e5dd6505a03c17343a71 openSUSE-10.3-RC2-KDE-Live-i386.iso
Please note that we do not have set _any_ passsword this time.
Greetings, Stephan

Hi!
After quite some rebuilds and testing, I'm happy to announce that RC1 looks
brilliant and I'm hoping you're looking forward as much as I did to update
all your computers to it.
Important Changes Since Beta3
=============================
* libzypp 3.24
* a second DVD9 titled "all the rest" (for the retail box)
* Virtualbox 1.5
* OpenOffice.org 2.3RC3
* countless bug fixes in every component
* 485 packages submitted
* 535 bugs RESOLVED/FIXED
A more detailed list of changes is available via
http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News .
Most Annoying Bugs
==================
* Online update opens an annoying popup with the progress. We'll prepare
an online update for it, so it will only affect the first update
* On some machines we have problems with the kernel and ACPI - investigating,
more data would be helpful
* GNOME is not yet final - we will update this right after RC1 and prepare
a RC2. This one will be internally, but you can get the update through
Factory
* 32bit PPC machines have a problem with dependencies that try to install
64bit RPMs.
* The bootloader config is not written out correctly on some updates
* The sudo config on the live CD is broken
We'll keep http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_10.3_dev updated
as we go.
Call for Testing
================
If you want to help testing our standard test cases, please coordinate with
others and subscribe to opensuse-testing!
(http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate/Mailinglists)
There is no focus area, please use the product as if it was final and you
wanted to use it for real.
Please note that the live CDs will contain an installer, but that installer is
still under development, so you can test it, but be more careful than with
the normal install.
Media and Download
==================
openSUSE 10.3 RC1 for i386, x86-64 and ppc is available as different media
sets:
* 1 DVD containing OSS and NonOSS software
languages supported: English, Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish,
German, Chinese (Simpl. & Trad.), Japanese, Russian, Czech, Hungarian,
Polish, Finnish, Danish, Swedish, Dutch
* 1 CD with a default KDE installation (not for ppc, English-only)
* 1 CD with a default GNOME installation (not for ppc, English-only)
* 1 AddOn CD with only NonOSS packages
* 1 AddOn CD with language packages that are used for extra languages (only
to be used with DVDs!)
* DVD containing the sources corresponding to the media
* 1 Live CD for both KDE and GNOME
openSUSE 10.3 RC 1 is available for immediate download from
* http://software.opensuse.org/developer and
* http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version#Downloads (which also includes
links to Delta ISOs)

Dear opensuse-security-announce subscribers and SUSE Linux users,
SUSE Security announces that SUSE Linux 10.0 will be discontinued soon.
Having provided security-relevant fixes for more than two years,
vulnerabilities found in SUSE Linux 10.0 after November 15th 2007 will
not be fixed any more for this product. We expect to release the last
updates around November 30th 2007.
Please do not confuse SUSE Linux 10.0 with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
10, these are two different products.
As a consequence, the SUSE Linux 10.0 distribution directory on our
ftp server ftp.suse.com will be moved from /pub/suse/10.0/ to the
/pub/suse/discontinued/ directory tree structure to free space on our
mirror sites. The 10.0 directory in the update tree /pub/suse/update/10.0
will follow, as soon as all updates have been published.
The discontinuation of SUSE Linux 10.0 enables us to focus on the SUSE
Linux and openSUSE distributions of a newer release dates to ensure that
our customers can continuously take advantage of the quality that they
are used to with SUSE Linux products.
This announcement holds true for SUSE Linux 10.0 only. As usual, SUSE
will continue to provide update packages for the following products:
SUSE Linux 10.1
openSUSE 10.2
and
openSUSE 10.3 (currently in development)
for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution.
Please note that the maintenance cycles of SUSE Linux Enterprise products
and products based on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system
are not affected by this announcement and have longer life cycles.
To learn more about SUSE Linux business products, please visit
http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/ . For a detailed list of the life cycles
of our Enterprise Products please visit http://support.novell.com/lifecycle/
and http://support.novell.com/lifecycle/lcSearchResults.jsp?sl=suse
If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please do not
hesitate to contact SUSE Security at <security(a)suse.de>.
Ciao, Marcus Meissner

Hi,
apparently we write too many emails...
During the weekend a harddisk on the mailinglist server ran out of
space. You might see some fallout over the next couple of hours from
that. Dont be alarmed, we have everything under control again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
