AJ: why is this so important that you would sacrifice the time based release?
This is IMO a critical hardware feature.
I expect that all new hardware in the lifetime of 12.3 will have UEFI Secure Boot enabled and we need to solve that. Releasing - like 12.2 - with only the option to go into the BIOS and disable it - is IMO the wrong approach.
I agree UEFI support is important, but it is really a marketing feature. The number of new openSUSE 12.3 installations on new hardware with a requirement to coexist with Windows8 is going to be somewhat limited, but the awareness of the issue is much bigger, so having UEFI support would be quite a coup, marketing-wise. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
