Just my usual question: where is factory now? Is it already at RC3, or it needs yet another sync? I'm asking this, because I recompile Packman packages on PPC, and I want to do this now for RC3. The CD distribution lacks most of the development packages, so I need to use factory.

As we stated before, we have branched the SUSE Linux 10.1 tree from Factory (SUSE-internally known as STABLE) a few weeks ago. Most changes that are going into the 10.1 tree at the moment, end up in Factory/STABLE as well, but the packages are being built twice -- that why Factory might/will differ from the FTP-trees that will be released once 10.1 is gold. I admit that we need some kind of "tagging" support for Factory, to "tag" a certain set of packages "betaN" for example. Though we won't get anything alike anytime soon. What you could do just now is look at the latest checkins that were sent to opensuse-commit and check if those packages are in Factory already. Regards Christoph
