One cannot but ask, after all the years of being hassle-free, why the current problems with building the Live CDs?
I am not sure that the Live CDs have been hassle free!
The House of Cards called openSUSE about to collapse in the foreseeable future?
For the Doom-and-Gloom crowd, the answer is "perhaps". As I see it, there have been many problems. Perhaps there is an overall shortage of people to do the required tasks, and something may have to be dropped. There were also problems with the backend storage system and the entire build system that happened at a critical time. The boot system of the Live CDs is different than the other products, and it is difficult to debug. After working with building my own Live CDs for 5 days, I have learned a lot, but I still can do little more than report the symptoms to Coolo. Fixing anything will require a lot more knowledge. The specific problem with the Live CDs was related to the change in /usr that is part of 12.2. I have no idea why no new ones have been built. Both Gnome and KDE versions build here just fine.
