Hello all,

openSUSE 12.2 Milestone 4 will be released next week, on Thursday 26 April 2012.

Please submit your packages before Friday afternoon (UTC time) to make sure they will get included in this release. Leaf packages submitted during the week-end might also get accepted on Monday.

For a quick overview of the openSUSE Roadmap, please see: http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap

I suggest we use it for a gcc47 field test.

I like this idea... (obviously?) for this to be as successful as possible, though, we have to ask all package maintainers that received gcc 4.7 patches in their packages to have those fixes forwarded to Factory. For most parts I think this is fine; Likely there are some more fallouts... which we keep on chasing (or in rare exceptional cases, try to work around). I think the biggest short-coming I have seen in the 'gcc 4.7' transition 'project' was a 'compare two projects build states and list the differences' (in human english: show me all packages that failed in the gcc 4.7 staging area that did work in the non-staging area... with an average of 100 packages failing already with gcc 4.7, this would have helped several times to not look at those packages (but well, we ended up fixing some packages of that category too :) ) Best regards, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
