[opensuse-factory] modules gobble disk space with built kernel
by Felix Miata 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

/lib/modules/(stock2.6.21kernel)# du -s 60804 . /lib/modules/(my2.6.21kernel)# du -s 538292 . That's a 785% increase in space consumed by my modules over stock modules. Does that happen for anyone building their own Factory kernel? Can a more normal space consumption be made to happen by a mere mortal kernel building novice like myself? What I did was: 1-apply the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7513 2-zcat /proc/config.gz > .config 3-make menuconfig to add smbfs and change the CONFIG_LOCALVERSION 4-make 5-make modules_install 6-INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install 7-fix the resulting broken /boot/grub/menu.lst -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] AIGLX
by Francis Giannaros 30 May '08

30 May '08

Users tend to ask about AIGLX quite a bit. Why do we not have this enabled by default, where possible? Xgl is nice and a lot of people prefer it (including myself), but a lot of people prefer using AIGLX too. Having it enabled by default where possible of course also provides the possibility of switching between compiz/kwin/metacity easier too. If not setting it up by default, perhaps we could consider having a script similar to gnome-xgl-switch for setting it up a little more easily for users. Any thoughts?

[opensuse-factory] Can't Rescue 10.3
by Felix Miata 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Friday I determined that 4096 was an inappropriate blocksize for my non-libata hda19 Factory / partition. I booted 10.1 from hda7 and did a cp -a on that partition to another partition, reformatted to the 1024 blocksize, then did cp -a back to it. I then tried to mount and chroot to it in order to run grub-install. Grub-install failed due to the non-existent target device. Copying the hda19 device file from the 10.1 / and trying again didn't help. I tried to do a rescue installation, but both rescue modes apparently failed for a similar or the same reason. Is it possible in Factory to do a rescue? If so, how? -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-factory] Help Wanted: Move YaST tutorials from forgeftp.novell.com to openSUSE WIKI
by Lukas Ocilka 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, I've added a new idea to idea.opensuse.org | Move YaST tutorials from forgeftp.novell.com to openSUSE WIKI | http://idea.opensuse.org/content/ideas/move-yast-tutorials-from-forgeftp.no… We are currently working on implementing features and that's why the documentation is a bit loosing at the end of the queue. On the other hand, moving those YaST tutorials can: * Help you to gain a respect from openSUSE community as well as from YaST developers :) ;) * Help you to understand YaST a lot more Additionally, this is not only about moving some texts somewhere else, you are expected to bring new ideas, new tutorials, you can realize your dreams :))) * * * * * More about idea.opensuse.org: It's a web/page for sharing ideas how to improve (openSUSE) Linux and also implementing those ideas. Maybe you are good designer but can't write in any programming language. Maybe you can just write in Perl or C++ and you are really good at it :) ... idea.opensuse.org is the best way to go! File an idea there or pick already filed one. * * * * * Thanks in advance Bye Lukas PS: YaST developers and their (development-related) help can be found also on IRC at irc.freenode.net, channel #yast -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-factory] Accessible installer
by Hans Petter Jansson 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

The GNOME team set up a wiki page for 11.0 ideas. One of the requests is for accessibility options to be available in the YaST installer, in particular: * Screen magnifier - shows a magnified version of the portion of the screen you're pointing at. * Screen reader - reads the labels and input text out loud. * Braille output - provides tactile display of labels and input text via a special device. In GNOME, we use Orca to accomplish this, together with the at-spi infrastructure. It is a Python app. I don't know what Qt/KDE uses, but I imagine something similar. So I have some questions for the YaST/installer guys: * What accessibility technologies are available in the installer today, and how are they configured? * If we're missing accessibility functionality, how feasible would it be to implement it for 11.0? * Given that the installer is a Qt app, what technologies could we use? Also see http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.0#Accessibility -- Hans Petter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] YaST Extension: Progress with Icons
by Lukas Ocilka 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, I've just implemented a new feature of the YaST 'Progress' module: | Icons shown during the progress run | I hope you find it useful and that we get more icons to the UI to make it brighter, cooler, and ... ;) See this article with screen-shots: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Progress_With_Icons (This feature is available in yast2-2.16.16 and later) Bye Lukas PS: It's currently implemented by replacing images with another ones but it would be better if there was a native Qt/GTK support for making images gray-scaled (initial state) and then make them colored again (active). Would it be possible?

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 48
by Stephan Kulow 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hi! Sorry, I forgot to send it yesterday. There isn't too much to report though: * live CD saw another round, now that online updates are in better shape again. Now having a problem with gfx setup * driver update medium is kind of ready, I will upload it later for wider testing. I'm not yet sure how to spread it though. I guess a wiki page how to use it is needed * early testing of a snapshot release, possibly resulting in Alpha0 (we're not there yet, the gcc update is still causing some trouble) * public update test repos were announced, already found one regression. Yay! I have the feeling there is something I forgot, but I can't figure what it was. Anyway, if you have questions or want more informations on some topic, let me know.

[opensuse-factory] should keyboards with active LEDs be suspended

Hi, powersaving in the idle state requires the USB busses to be suspended. This means that all LEDs on keyboards (Num-lock, CapaLock, ...) will be deactivated. The keyboards behavior is not affected. Can we live with an inconsistency of this kind or should keyboards with active LEDs not go into powersave?

[opensuse-factory] pulseaudio and 11.0

Hi We (opensuse-gnome team) have been working in the last few days to integrate PulseAudio for 11.0: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.0/PulseAudio it is in a state where it mainly works on GNOME, so talked to Takashi (maintainer of the pulseaudio packages in multimedia:audio) and he is going to assign the packages in the PDB (internal package database) to me. So, first, I would like people to test the packages we've built, and second, what needs to be done to put this into the distro for 11.0? Are KDE people aware and happy of the change? Other packages that would need work on them? Anything else that should be taken into account? -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Testing Updates - Looking for Heros
by Stephan Kulow 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

Hi! In an effort to improve the overall quality of updates, openSUSE's test update repositories are available in a public location now. All new pending updates[1] will first land into one of these test-update repositories before being transferred directly to the standard and official respective update repository. Here are the links: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3-test/ (for openSUSE 10.3) http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2-test/ (for openSUSE 10.2) http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1-test/ (SUSE Linux 10.1) http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.0-test/ (SUSE Linux 10.0) You can help out by testing these updates and reporting any problems as quickly as possible. Note, however, that these repositories will _always_ be in a highly experimental state, and hence are not for the faint-hearted. The updates contained in these repositories might well be broken at different times. Nevertheless, if you are confident enough to add the repository it should be picked up by openSUSE updater and you can test all updates with it from there. You should be able to have both the standard update repository and the test-update repository enabled at the same time. Thanks for testing, Stephan [1] For obvious reasons security problems under embargo are an exception -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Looking outside the box
by Andreas Jaeger 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

I've just send out to people that report to me the following request and like to share it with you so that you know what's going on if you see discussions starting and can look at the webpage as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ openSUSE 10.3 is a really great release and I'd like to thank you for your participation on it. To take a break and some inspiration I'd like you to take some time now (let's say two days) and look at other current distributions and operating systems and check what they can do better, or how could we improve our products. Looking at operating systems, I consider the following most interesting but feel free to look at others as well: * Fedora 8 Test 3 * Ubuntu/Kubuntu 7.10 Beta * Mandriva 2008 * PCLinuxOS * Windows Vista * Mac OSX I suggest to install at least one of these products on real hardware and evaluate the distribution and try to get ideas for our next product. * Look at the installation, what do you like and hate? * Check the area you're most familiar in, e.g. printing, and see how it's integrated, e.g. configure a printer and print some documents. What is different compared to openSUSE 10.3? Where is the user experience different? * Use the machine for some work, play around with it. How do you like it? Please write down your experience on the openSUSE wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/Distro_Inspirations - and if you see things that you like to discuss, discuss them on the opensuse-factory mailing list. Try to evaluate the distribution from a desktop user perspective - and if you want to evaluate it differentely, please state it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-factory] 10.3 Review
by Sid Boyce 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/opensuse10.3.review.html Mentions of "for the uninitiated" sounds about right. To sidestep any problems with the DVD, I've installed from Factory. Looks like the DVD should have been delayed until it was compared with Factory for stability. I think the reviewer attempted to be fair (he points to the URL to show where he is coming from). Perhaps some pertinent pointers for 11.0. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] pulseaudio and 11.0
by Rodrigo Moya 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi We (opensuse-gnome team) have been working in the last few days to integrate PulseAudio for 11.0: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.0/PulseAudio it is in a state where it mainly works on GNOME, so talked to Takashi (maintainer of the pulseaudio packages in multimedia:audio) and he is going to assign the packages in the PDB (internal package database) to me. So, first, I would like people to test the packages we've built, and second, what needs to be done to put this into the distro for 11.0? Are KDE people aware and happy of the change? Other packages that would need work on them? Anything else that should be taken into account? -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] new UI in yast2-printer
by Michal Zugec 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi people, I'd like to announce improved (I hope ;-)) UI in yast2-printer module. You probably know old interface. Many options was accessible via several clicks and for new users some of them wasn't easy to understand. I wrote some screenshots here: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Printer and now is mostly implemented in yast2-printer version >= 2.16.4 So this mail is a "call for testing", but also your comments or other kind of feedback is important for me. When you check rpm from factory does it work for you with all functionality? Do you like this UI or would you like to change something?

[opensuse-factory] Dist Meeting at SUSE
by Stephan Kulow 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi! Last thursday we had a dist meeting to discuss policy changes for our distributions that affect a lot of teams. So these are the minutes, if you have questions, feel free to ask - this is just me typing. Greetings, Stephan Present: jpr, holgi, matz, cfarrel, mls, kukuk, hvogel, meissner, radmanic, ro, coolo, adrian, nadvornik, jsrain, gekker Patchrpms considered harmful no consistency checkin, so created problems in the past update stack can not check the integrity (by design) delta rpms are better anyway, just little bigger in cases new patches for old or only new products? too dangerous to disable Marcus decided: go for >= 10.3 and disable patch rpms Stricter checks for updates texlive update removed some manual pages some files were not marked as %noverify, which are changed by %post delta packages could not be applied, creating a 200MB update suggested policy: %post call in package build and rpm -Va output fails package Conclusion: rpm -V output is a critical bug (TODO: at least 257 packages in Factory affected) Sync build service with factory e.g. gnome team wants to maintain packages in build service time left out to discuss this Conclusion between those left in the room: GNOME team should go ahead, but should be aware that whoever submits a package to autobuild is responsible for reviewing the changes, no matter where they come from.

Hi! The status report of openSUSE distribution * Our update handling is still kind of messy (too many updates, too few testing). GNOME update for bug-buddy can't be installed at all, on friday KDE updater killed itself on a boost update. Both issues are tracked, but cause a lot of work * Factory is kind of working, installing it has some regresions due to new kernel * new live CDs are shaping up, currently waiting for the update repositories to be in shape again before the next step Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] YaST2 SSHD Module - Call for help/volunteers
by Lukas Ocilka 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi, As you probably know, we've added a new yast2-sshd package that configures the sshd daemon to the openSUSE 10.3. http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=yast2-sshd&distro=… This module was started as an exemplary YaST module for YaST tutorial http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.3/tutorials/t1.html Now it seems the the openSUSE community would like to have it extended. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333655 ...but isn't that the best way for the community to learn more about YaST, about the powerful features we currently offer? Isn't that great that to community already has all pieces to change YaST to do what they exactly want? That's why I'm writing this mail. I'd like to encourage $you, even if you aren't an experienced developer, don't you want to learn more, don't you want to try it? This is the current SVN of YaST SSHD module: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/sshd/ So, please, just try that..., send me a patch..., whatever ;) Thanks & Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic

[opensuse-factory] any way to create an installation DVD from Factory by-hand?
by teelynn19＠aim.com 15 Nov '07

Hi- I am having a bit of trouble installing Factory since the switch to kernel 2.6.24. Installation hangs when the e1000 driver is loaded so I can't install over the network. Is there a method to create an installation DVD from the Factory by hand, without the new yast tools that have been mentioned elsewhere since I don't have an installation with those tools?

Hi! A normal week of development * kernel 2.6.24rc2 in Factory caused quite some problems with KMP modules * gcc 4.3 switched to Factory, roughly 150 packages still need to be fixed * (re)started package lists for CDs to get installation testing, so far some problems with gcc 4.3 and kernel 2.6.24 * worked on roadmaps for alpha releases. Next stop: 11.0 alpha0 to stabilize from the above * worked on updated live CD to fix random bugs and redo it with update packages[1] * some rough discussions where to head with 11.0 (nothing concrete, but the discussions on opensuse-factory are helping to understand) * in terms of registered installations, October 2007 was the most successful openSUSE month ever. It was 60% above the month having had this title so far (March 2007).

[opensuse-factory] OpenSuSE 10.3 with XEN and LVM
by Thorolf Godawa 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi, OK, it seems that OpenSuSE 10.3 still is "a little bit" beta so I try it here also. I'm trying to install OpenSuSE 10.3 on an old iP IV-HT with Intel 865G, SATA-HDD and PATA-DVD. I'm doing a new installation (no upgrade from 10.2 which was installed before), selected "minimal graphical system", "XFCE-desktop", "Host-Server for XEN", "Kernel-development" and some others, selected for "/boot", "/", "/usr", "/var" and "swap" the partitions I created with 10.2 and for "/home" the LVM-volume "/dev/vg01/home" I also made with 10.2! The installation is running through and mostly everything works fine IF I start with the default kernel. The only thing is, that I get only 55Hz refresh rate with X11, I tried several monitor-settings (Eizo FlexScan F563, VESA 1024x768@75Hz, VESA 1024x768@85Hz and VESA 1152x8??@75Hz but I don't get more than 55Hz - for me it's not a big problem because I need X11 only for the first configuration, later I'll use ssh for everything else. I also recognized that the naming for the partitions in /etc/fstab changed from 10.2 to 10.3: /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Maxtor_6Y160M0_Y44AGXFE-part1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 What is the reason for this? Are there any advantages or only the disadvantage that I can't just replace the harddrive after copying over all files? The BIG problem I have that the system does not boot with the XEN-kernel. During boot it tells me that one partition needs a manual fsck.ext3 and stops, checking the partition does not help but the default-kernel still boots without any problems :-( I was able to solve the problem by moving "/home" from the LVM-volume "/dev/vg01/home" to the root-partition "/dev/sda7", but this is not a real solution. After doing so the system now starts, but I have several errors during the boot of the system: ----------------- boot.msg ----------------- Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen Loaded 24632 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.22.5-31-xen.

[opensuse-factory] repository sorting
by jdd 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

I just had a small problem and was helped on the opensuse list, but this shows something I may not be the only one to hit. if this is not the good list, please say so. I installed 10.3 on a laptop. as so I wanted to keep the dvd as source because I don't have net access always. but the result is that I setup update, packman, etc. repositories, but not standard one. the problem is that I found natural to think that the standard repository was equal to the dvd, wich is wrong prbably things are not enough explained on the wiki (I will get a look there and fix). The simpler way should be to have a repository for the standard dvd, but I see very well that it's fairly difficult given the boxed dvd's * are much bigger than the standard dvd * have things we can't have online * anyway don't have all, so we would need an addon repository anyway. may be this could be shown also at install time. I must say i didn't see the "community repository" menu some people like so much? more on the wiki thanks reading jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/10/27/127022-Claire-Dodin-une-Toulousa… --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Broken screensaver
by Rodrigo Moya 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi I think lots of people were hit by https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=341113 in the last update. I just submitted a fix, but if you can't wait, 10.3 packages are at http://www.gnome.org/~rodrigo/rpms/304399/ . They should work for FACTORY also ('rpm -Uvh --force' to allow the "version" downgrade), so if you install them, please let me know if they work or not for you. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Why is java 1.5 required by OpenOffice?
by Felix Möller 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Hi, I am running latest factory but have to carry two Java runtimes with me as Eclipse requires Java 1.6. and OpenOffice thinks it needs Java 1.5 ... # rpm -q --requires OpenOffice_org | grep jre jre-32 ... This is only provided by 1.5 java ... # rpm -q --provides java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update13-7 | grep jre jre-1.5.0-sun = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-sun = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-1.5.0 jre = 1.5.0 jre1.1.x jre1.2.x jre1.3.x jre1.4.x jre1.5.x jre-1.5.0-sun-32 = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-sun-32 = 1.5.0_update13-7 jre-1.5.0-32 jre-32 = 1.5.0 java2-jre = 1.5.0_update13-7 ... and not by 1.6 java ... # rpm -q --provides java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u3-8 | grep jre jre-1.6.0.u3.sr2-sun = 1.6.0.u3-8 jre-sun = 1.6.0.u3-8 jre-1.6.0.u3.sr2 jre = 1.6.0.u3.sr2 jre1.1.x jre1.2.x jre1.3.x jre1.4.x jre1.5.x jre1.6.x java2-jre = 1.6.0 So is this a bug? And should OpenOffice require something different or should java 1.6 provide jre-32 greetings Felix Möller --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Discussing problems with 10.3
by Volker Kuhlmann 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Which list is meant for discussing problems with 10.3? opensuse@ is not the answer, and I've been told off several times here. Yesterday's kernel update only has deltas from GM to yesterday's and from GM to first update, but not from the first update to the latest, so those who keep their systems up to date are left out.

[opensuse-factory] What ever happened to javaws
by Sid Boyce 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I tried using javaws the other day, but found only javawswrapper # rpm -qf /usr/bin/javawswrapper jpackage-utils-1.7.0-79 ###### x86_64. Is there a reason it's been excluded, like not available in 64-bit or should I raise a bug report? I think it's been missing from openSUSE for quite some time. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] ppc buildservice
by Peter Czanik 09 Nov '07

Hello, I installed the latest factory, and I quite enjoy it, especially the part of adding repositories from the build service easily. I got just one 'little' problem: on PPC all of these repositories are empty (OK, I could probably find some 'noarch' :-) ). Any news on this? Or still 'no public info' or 'in a few months'?

[opensuse-factory] mysql 5.1 rpms available in the buildservice
by Michal Marek 09 Nov '07

Hi, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/mysql51/ hosts packages of mysql 5.1, currently at version 5.1.22-rc. Mind that these packages are experimental (both upstream code and the packaging is not final), so if anything breaks... I told you. OTOH, by testing these packages, you contribute to the quality of mysql packages in future openSUSE releases ;-) have fun, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Factory not prominently enough featured on opensuse.org?
by Joerg Mayer 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Just a comment from Mr. LWN > Said grumpy editor has actively looked for an opensuse development > distribution a few times, with no luck. The folks who create > opensuse.org don't make the factory distribution easy to find - the > "latest development version" link does not go anywhere near it. I > suspect I'm not the only one who has come up empty-handed in this > search. Nonetheless, I clearly blew my research and apologize for any > resulting confusion. why he stated that there was no publicly available development version of openSUSE available. It's true that it is not that easy to find: When I went to opensuse.org, download, then the link "latest development version" points to 10.3RC1 A prominent link to factory might help to prevent this from happening too often? Maybe there are some other places where links to factory might be added (but I think it is properly referenced at the main wiki page). Ciao Joerg PS: The article on lwn.net will become available in a week for non-subscribers (The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions). Apart from that goof, the article was a nice read. PPS: Googling for: opensuse development version showed the (good) development version page and the ("bad") download page as its first two hits in that order -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer(a)loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
