Preface: We are trying out a new way to spread status reports on the openSUSE distribution, infrastructure and other topics around openSUSE. They are supposed to help facilicate the openSUSE bi-weekly IRC status meeting (scheduled for tomorrow, 2007-08-29, 6pm CEST). As this is the first attempt, we are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for improvements!
status report: openSUSE distribution, week 35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 10.3 Beta2 released in time on 2007-08-23, overall feedback quite mixed, there is still a lot of room for improvement * hot spots: libzypp, dist upgrade, bootloader config, hal, bundle-lang / translation handling, patterns / cd/package layout. - no LiveCD for Beta2, due to time constraints * Beta3 will hopefully ship a LiveCD from day 0 - a couple of late version updates got approved this week, including MozillaFirefox, MozillaThunderbird, seamonkey, wine, samba, bluez-libs. * upgrading a package at this time in the release cycle is going to be very unlikely now. - we are currently preparing for an internal test build, scheduled for 2007-08-29, to get another round of testing for libzypp - way to many open red bugs: 31 blocker, 103 critical * will need to review the critical bugs * if there is anything <critical that needs attention, make sure to set NEEDINFO to cthiel or coolo, to get it onto our radar. - current focus for Beta3: * bundle-lang and friends (translations, l10n) + a proposal on the language addons is coming up tomorrow * patterns / media layout * LiveCD * libzypp
Is there anything missing? Please let us know, if we are ignoring any hot spots?
Best, Christoph
