Hi,
As you may have noticed Factory activated the UsrMerge last week. Tumbleweed tests in openQA look good, only a non-usrmerge related bug prevents the release. I haven't received a lot of feedback from the call for testing so I hope that means the migration works really well :-)
Therefore *your next dup will automatically and live migrate your installation* to UsrMerge. Make sure to actually use "dup" and not just "up".
Means everything in /bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64 will be merged into their counterparts in /usr, then replacing those directories with symlinks to /usr. After the migration packages that have compat symlinks like eg /bin/foo -> /usr/bin/foo will no longer be installable as they conflict with themselves. All packages in the distro have been fixed though.
Due to the full rebuild and activation of gcc11 as default compiler the next snapshot will be a big one, so make sure to have sufficient disk space.
Hi Ludwig, Just wanting to report that my most problematic system (including NVIDIA GPU w. prop. drivers, and another 3rd-party out-of-tree kernel module) all updated fine Great work! --- Richard Brown Linux Distribution Engineer - Future Technology Team Phone +4991174053-361 SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer
