[opensuse-factory] Leap 15.1 entering Beta phase
Hi, Leap 15.1 entered the Beta phase with build 416.2 that reached the mirrors yesterday. Everyone is encouraged to download¹ the current builds and help testing. There are also live images to e.g. check hardware compatibility without installation. The Beta phase will last until mid April. Planned release is before the conference in May. Issues found need to be filed in Bugzilla². There is also a test plan³ to help coordinate the efforts. Feel free to fill in what you tested so we get an overview of what was covered already. Note that Leap 15.1 did not automatically sync with package versions in Factory. That is intentional as 15.1 is meant to be a minor update. Please submit any necessary bigger version updates the next two weeks to still have time for thorough testing. Please contact the release team⁴ in case of questions. Users of 42.3 please be aware that 42.3 reaches end of life a few weeks after the release of 15.1. In general an update to 15.1 directly is possible. It's recommended to participate in beta testing to make sure your specific workload or use case still works after an upgrade. cu Ludwig [1] https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/testing [2] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports [3] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AGKijKpKiJCB616-bHVoNQuhWHpQLHPWCb3m...

You upgrade from 42.3, please refer to the comment on the wiki: "Note: If the root file system is not Btrfs or you're upgrading from 42.2 or later version, then skip this section and continue to step 4." This section deals with space issues, if your /var or /var/cache is large enough then this hardly is an issue. thal

This is less about the size of your /var/cache, but more to do with the fact that in 42.3 /var/cache was part of the / partition which means its contents were included in each snapshot, given /var/cache includes things like every rpm you have downloaded to install on a system during an upgrade and lots of other content that will likely change between each snapshot it will likely make your snapshots much bigger then they need to be over time, so follow the instructions to move it to a separate subvolume and then its contents will no longer be part of snapshots. P.S. this question would have probably been better asked on the opensuse-support mailing list and its more of an upgrade question then a development one. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
