Friends all over the place,
late last month we released the first milestone of openSUSE 11.3, now we
follow up with the second. Milestone 2 is part of the milestones where
we track new releases in the open source universe and test the building
of our various distribution images with them. While milestone 1
introduced various pre-release versions of free and open source projects
(KDE 4.4 RC1, OpenOffice 3.2 Beta4 or VirtualBox 3.1 beta 1) into our
development distribution openSUSE Factory, this milestone is
characterized by final releases of those projects. We are also preparing
everything to switch to GCC 4.5.0 as the default compiler. Currently our
staging version of Factory already builds with it and our compiler
people document/fix the most serious issues, they aim at milestone 3 for
the switch. To learn more about the benefits of GCC 4.5.0 check the
Development Tools section below. As you can see, although we are
steadily moving forward, there is still a lot to come!
Go on to news.opensuse.org to read about the detailed changes that
happened in the various areas.

Have a lot of fun...
Your openSUSE Project

Today, the openSUSE Build Service team released the latest version
of the openSUSE Build Service, a tool that provides software
developers with the ability to create and release software for
openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise and other Linux distributions,
including Fedora, Red Hat, Mandriva, Debian and Ubuntu. The
openSUSE Build Service allows developers to create packages,
software stacks or even a whole distribution as well as use and
integrate them with other open source components.
Key features of the 1.7 release include:
* A new attribute system
A flexible system that stores information related to projects or
packages. This gives a good overview and enables teams or
individuals to use the openSUSE Build Service as database for
their information.
* Faster build speeds
The SAT Solver speeds up the dependency calculation by factor
of 1,000X, which means a package change submitted to the build
service starts building in seconds instead of minutes.
* Customized branding
For local instances of the openSUSE Build Service, this release
offers the ability to add custom branding and the Web user
interface (UI) now supports individual themes.
* An openSUSE Build Service server appliance
Built as hard disk image and live CD, this appliance allows users
to run the system from a USB stick and just replace it with a new
version on update without losing the data they have submitted to
the server.
* In addition to bug fixes, other improvements include a request
system that now offers a review mechanism, improved status information
(package build dependencies, repository status, etc.), and improved
merge handling of sources for automated conflict resolution.
For more information and to download openSUSE Build Service 1.7, go here:

Moin,
participate in the openSUSE survey 2010 [1] to give feedback to the openSUSE
project about the distribution, the openSUSE tools environment and the project
in general. Let us know where things are in good shape and areas where
improvement is needed. There are also some questions to get some demographic
knowledge about our users. The more we know in which direction our project
shall move the better we can address this. The survey will take about 8 mins.
The survey will be online till Feb 28, 2010 and we raffle amongst all
participants some t-shirts, openSUSE 11.2 boxes and 1 one really neat device
(most probably a Chumby). If you wanna participate in the raffle please
provide your email address at the end, if not just skip it.
Have a lot of fun! & Thanks for participating
Best
Michael
