Hi, Since Hackweek I'm waiting for a build to make Alpha2+ out of it, but unfortunately there were several reasons why this did not work out yet. Right now factory will start yast in gdb for some weired "bash reason" and will crash while creating users. Both issues were FIXED today, so possibly I have something tomorrow. I do not plan to publish this release though as it will just be a snapshot, but we'll use it internally to test and improve installation. The overall status of Factory is pretty good these days, the "new zypp" project went pretty smooth, even though there were some glitches - that we expected, we just didn't know how they would look exactly :) We have 22 build failures at the moment for i386 (44 for ppc, there seems to be a generic problem on that arch). This is excellent progress from the ~70 we saw ever since we started with releasing alphas. So hopefully beta1 will see a 0. Ah! in case you wonder why there hasn't been an update to the factory live cds after my initial announcement: there was always another problem with them. Right now kiwi seems to create a broken initrd, so you can't boot them ;( Greetings, Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
