Feature changed by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #308284, revision 8 Title: Ship openSUSE 11.2 openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Description: I consider Build 347 good enough to be GM. We should ship it! Of course there are plenty of bugs left unfixed, but IMO no-one that will cause major head ache to (most of) our users. Please consider! Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-11-03 14:07:00) If we do not ship now, we have to slip at least 2 weeks - otherwise the mirrors will not handle the load. #2: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2009-11-03 14:59:19) Just my opinion: why not we take the two weeks, try and fix the most important bugs among the ones already reported (with RC2) and ship it then? I know we can keep thinking like this for ever and then a release will never happen, but what I mean is if for some reason the release date is already slipping, we might as well make use of this time and fix some important bugs (reported on the Most Annoying Bugs in the wiki with RC2), rather than rush the release. #3: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-11-03 15:18:08) (reply to #2) the release is not rushed. And with every fix included the chance to break something is there. So the question is: are we fine _now_ or do we want to release with another set of annoying bugs. #4: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-11-03 15:19:01) (reply to #2) And: there are no two weeks. We need quite a while to feed the mirrors before we can go public. Not two full weeks, but at least 5 days. + #5: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) (2009-11-03 15:26:35) + To elaborate a little: the (installed) distribution itself is good at + this point. There are problems with the installation media (for + example: grub not recognising some other installed os - bug 548993, + localisation files for myspell and openoffice in different languages + being pulled from the internet on first run of yast - bug 551003, gdm + related bug 551116, etc.). There is also lack of very important + features in the software management module of yast-gtk (bug 551662) + compared to yast-qt-pkg (features that were implemented for the qt + interface late into the cycle), and at least one completed feature + (showing orphaned packages - feature 551771) not at all working. I + think it will be worth trying to fix the important bugs (like these) + prior to release; more important than releasing quickly is to release + as perfect an OS as possible imho. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308284
