[opensuse-factory] Testing Updates - Looking for Heros
Hi! In an effort to improve the overall quality of updates, openSUSE's test update repositories are available in a public location now. All new pending updates[1] will first land into one of these test-update repositories before being transferred directly to the standard and official respective update repository. Here are the links: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3-test/ (for openSUSE 10.3) http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2-test/ (for openSUSE 10.2) http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1-test/ (SUSE Linux 10.1) http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.0-test/ (SUSE Linux 10.0) You can help out by testing these updates and reporting any problems as quickly as possible. Note, however, that these repositories will _always_ be in a highly experimental state, and hence are not for the faint-hearted. The updates contained in these repositories might well be broken at different times. Nevertheless, if you are confident enough to add the repository it should be picked up by openSUSE updater and you can test all updates with it from there. You should be able to have both the standard update repository and the test-update repository enabled at the same time. Thanks for testing, Stephan [1] For obvious reasons security problems under embargo are an exception -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes, that's what I mean. They are done by best intent by the packager, but as soon as they built they will be publically available without anyone testing them in between. Just as with Factory.

You should be able to recover from: - non booting system due to broken kernel - deinstalled glibc - deinstalled package management stack These might not necessarily happen all the time, but if you are not able to do so, we strongly recommend not to add those repos.

Remember to have fun! Seriously, for now I don't have time for a "real testing" (f****d time, it's never enough). For "real" I mean real installation on real hardware, so for now, I'm setting up a vmware machine for testing. Better then nothing, I hope..

I had installed the test updates and didnt noticed any regression. -- "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." - Albert Einstein Cristian Rodríguez R.
