[opensuse-announce] openSUSE ARM 12.2 RC1 is out!
by Jos Poortvliet 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

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. Find the the openSUSE News article with more details at http://news.opensuse.org/?p=14138 About openSUSE The openSUSE project is a worldwide effort that promotes the use of Linux everywhere. openSUSE creates one of the world's best Linux distributions, working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner as part of the worldwide Free and Open Source Software community.

[opensuse-announce] GNOME 3.6 Enters GNOME:Factory
by Bryen Yunashko 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

(Originally posted by Dominique Leuenberger) Hi GNOMEs! I know you are all eagerly awaiting it! * AND IT JUST HAPPENED * GNOME 3.6 (at least what has been released so far; official release date is tomorrow, so there can still some more packages appear) has been submitted and accepted into GNOME:Factory. * FACTORY USERS * GNOME:Factory, as you all know, is the staging project where all packages are being tested against each other and, once deemed working, be forwarded to openSUSE:Factory, to be included into our next release of openSUSE. GNOME:Factory is NOT compatible to 12.2 (due to dependencies). * BUT * Don't be afraid just yet: All this great work has also been submitted and accepted into a new repository GNOME:STABLE:3.6 (which, at this moment, is not published; we will be doing at least a few integration tests on 12.2 before crashing _your_ machine(s).) If all goes well and may the OBS be with us (giving us the build power we need), this should not take too long. Once all this is ready, we'll let you know here again! * BUT BUT * _YOU_ are really brave and don't mind crashing your machine... should this happen, you are a) capable of extracting log files (even if NO gui comes up b) formulate readable bug reports c) FIX the bug :) then there is even a repository for 12.2 published (actually, it is GNOME:STABLE:3.6 published in a different namespace). So if you feel adventerous and comply to at least 2 of the 3 points above (:)), then you are allowed to use the repository home:dimstar:broken on your machine and get up to GNOME 3.6 (don't do this just now: the repository is in a full rebuild due to the checkins!) * WHAT MORE * What? you want even MORE??? Well, formulate your needs, and we'll find a way to make you work on them :) After all, this is a community effort! We need YOU to make this all possible. Hope you're having a lot of fun!

[opensuse-announce] Announcing Vincent Untz as new openSUSE Board Charman
by Jos Poortvliet 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

This week Alan Clark announced to the openSUSE Board that he is stepping down from his position as Board Chair. His duties in SUSE keep him increasingly busy and SUSE has decided, after almost two years, the time has come for someone else to take on his role. So, after thinking about what skills are most relevant for the openSUSE Board right now and who would fit in best, SUSE managers Michael Miller (Marketing and Product Management) and Ralf Flaxa (Engineering) have brought in former GNOME Foundation Chairman Vincent Untz to take on the role as chair. The Board is very pleased having someone with the skills and experience of Vincent on board! Read more about this on our news site: http://news.opensuse.org/?p=14113 And the official announcement from SUSE: https://www.suse.com/company/press/2012/9/opensuse-project-announces- appointment-of-vincent-untz-as-opensuse-board-chair.html Both Alan and Vincent Untz as well as number of the other openSUSE Board members are at the openSUSE Summit right now. If you're there, go and look them up for a chat about where openSUSE is going. If you can't make it, they will surely be at the openSUSE Conference in Prague in October!

[opensuse-announce] Cinnamon Repository
by Nelson Marques 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

I would like to inform of the following: 1) Cinnamon has been moved to the X11:Cinnamon repository and will be normally maintained; 2) As the Cinnamon code base depends a lot on GNOME 3, to simplify things, I've opted for the following repo layout: a) X11:Cinnamon (empty repository) b) X11:Cinnamon:GNOME34 - Cinnamon releases compatible with GNOME34 code base; c) X11:Cinnamon:GNOME36 - Cinnamon releases compatible with GNOME36 code base; d) X11:Cinnamon:Factory - Cinnamon development project for openSUSE:Factory (if it happens); Users who are relying on GNOME:Cinnamon should migrate to X11:Cinnamon:GNOME34 as soon as possible, as GNOME:Cinnamon will be disabled in the nearby future. There are currently no plans of submitting Cinnamon to openSUSE:Factory since I'm not really confortable with this. If it proves to be reliable, I'll submit it. The current release available of Cinnamon is 1.5.7 (muffin 1.0.9) and it's the preview of the upcoming 1.6 series.
