Hi, All packages that contained compat symlinks or needed other adjustments for the UsrMerge are checked into Factory! The staging tests passed openQA. That means the switch to activate the UsrMerge could be flipped any time if wanted. When the UsrMerge gets activated, the TW engines will choke a bit until everything has settled again. So Dominique has to find the right timing I guess :-) Meanwhile testers are welcome. The affected packages are rebuild with UsrMerge enabled in a sub project of Factory. If you have a spare installation or are adventurous you may try it out: # zypper ar -fc http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/UsrMerge/openSU... usrmerge # zypper dup Beware that those packages are links to Factory, so might be a bit ahead of Tumbleweed. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)
