While performing an upgrade from alpha6 to beta1, having skipped alpha7, I've noticed that sendmail isn't included on the DVD. There is no mention of it no longer being included in the announcement on the announce mailing list, nor on:
URL:http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News
So, is this purely an oversight and, for some reason it never made it onto the DVD[0], or is sendmail being dropped from the installation media?
[0] This is my guess, as it was on alphas upto alpha7.

From my announcement: Important Changes Since Alpha 7 GNOME 2.19.6 Revised DVD5 (the DVD is now made up mainly from patterns)
As sendmail isn't installed from any pattern, sendmail is no longer part of the DVD5. We'll put it back if we find a good way to automate that.

Erm, it is listed in mail_server-10.3-100.i586.pat as a suggested package.
We'll put it back if we find a good way to automate that.
Maybe by having it add suggested packages as well? :)

We do - unless they conflict with recommended packages. sendmail is on FTP btw.

Which sendmail does, since it conflicts with Postfix :(

Is the OSS repository supposed to be working as an additional source with beta1? If so, I'll have to add a bug report as soon as I've finished my upgrade installation[0] because it isn't working here, even though it's selected as a part of the extra repositories.
[0] I'll have to have another check because it's not picking up any of the other third-party repositories that were configured either, so packages supplied by them are causing upgrade warnings/conflicts.

I've noticed it's back on the DVD as well, so thanks for figuring out how to re-add it :-)
