Dear opensuse-announce subscribers and openSUSE users,
SUSE Security and the openSUSE Maintenance Team announce that
the SUSE sponsored security and maintenance teams will stop
releasing updates for openSUSE 11.4 soon.
Having provided both security and bug fixes for the last two releases
and two months, we will stop releasing updates after November 5th 2012.
However, the community Evergreen team plans to provide ongoing maintenance
for openSUSE 11.4. More details on this will be published when they are known.
As a consequence, the openSUSE 11.4 distribution directory on our
server download.opensuse.org will be removed from /distribution/11.4/
to free space on our mirror sites. The 11.4 directory in the update tree
/update/11.4 will follow, as soon as all updates have been published.
Also the openSUSE buildservice repositories containing openSUSE 11.4
will be moved to DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.4 and building against
openSUSE 11.4 will be disabled and removed in all buildservice projects.
The discontinuation of openSUSE 11.4 enables SUSE to focus on the openSUSE
distributions of a newer release dates to ensure that our users can
continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with
openSUSE products.
This announcement holds true for openSUSE 11.4 only. As usual, the
openSUSE project will continue to provide update packages for the
following products:
openSUSE 12.1 (supported until 2 months after openSUSE "Next" release, around May 2013)
openSUSE 12.2 (supported until 2 months after openSUSE "Next+2" release)
openSUSE Next (naming is discussed currently) (currently in development,
to be released early 2013)
for the next two openSUSE releases plus a two months overlap period.
(As the schedule is under discussion these dates cannot be predicted exactly
at this time. It will be 2 releases + 2 months usually.)
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.
Our openSUSE lifetimes are tracked on http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime .
To learn more about SUSE Linux Enterprise products, please visit

openSUSE is pleased to announce the first Release Candidate for openSUSE
12.2 on the ARM architecture. Since the openSUSE Conference in 2011, the
openSUSE ARM team has managed to bring up openSUSE ARM from nothing to a
truly usable and functional distribution on the ARM version 7 architecture.
Andrew Wafaa, who continues to be heavily involved in the openSUSE-on-ARM
initiative and now works for the UK CPU designer, remarks: "It was a fast
and hard ride. Supporting a new architecture is always a lot of work,
especially one as diverse and versatile as ARM's, but with the right tools
and the right help it is possible to do it in record time!"
*Hardware and device support*
This release focusses on ARMv7 with the Cortex-A profile from ARM Ltd. Due
to the complicated landscape of ARM devices, only a subset is supported at
the moment: Texas Instruments’ OMAP3 & OMAP4, Marvell ArmadaXP 510 and
Freescale I.MX51; the supported devices running with these SoCs are the
Beagleboard, Beagleboard-xM, Pandaboard, Pandaboard-ES and the EfikaMX
smarttop/smartbook. There is also an image for the VersatileExpress which is
suitable for use in Qemu as well as a generic root file system tarball that
users and developers may use to help bring up unsupported devices.
*More information*
Downloads can be found at [1]. Find information about supported boards at
[2] and how-to's at [3]. If you'd like to get involved in the openSUSE ARM
efforts, read [4] and have a look at our tasks on Trello [5].
Most collaboration takes place through the opensuse-arm(a)opensuse.org mailing
list and the IRC channel #opensuse-arm on Freenode.net.
*Thanks*
The team builds upon OBS, Qemu and KIWI as main technologies and is
grateful
for the support and sponsorship from Texas Instruments/Pandaboard Project,
Genesi,ARM and the wider openSUSE Community.
