[opensuse-project] openSUSE 11.1 KDE4 Reloaded: Includes KDE 4.2.2 and 11.1 updates
While 11.2 is still months away[1] there's still plenty of activity going on with openSUSE. In addition to last week's milestone release[2], you can also get your hands on openSUSE 11.1 Reloaded. This is a respin of openSUSE 11.1[3], including KDE 4.2.2 packages and updates to 11.1. This is an installable live CD that features the KDE 4.2.2 packages from the openSUSE Build Service repo. The live CD was created by Stephan 'Beineri' Binner, and is useful for people who want to test out KDE 4.2 and users who are doing new installs and want the most recent openSUSE updates straight out of the box. See the KDE 4.2.2 announcement[4] for more information on the improvements and new features in KDE 4.2.2. Some features in openSUSE's distribution of KDE differ slightly from a stock install of KDE. The "cashew" (Toolbox) is not enabled by default. It ships with the "Aya" theme and includes some bugfixes and enhancements over the stock 4.2.2 release. The Reloaded live CD also defaults to the KDE4 versions of Amarok (2.0.2) and Digikam (0.10). A Note of Caution ================= Please note that this is not an "official" openSUSE release, and has not undergone the same kind of testing that stable releases receive. Additional openSUSE KDE News ============================ As Will Stephenson points out, if you're following the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repository, you'll soon start getting KDE 4.3 packages. If you want to keep on with the KDE 4.2 packages, use the new KDE:42 repo[5]. The live CD is pre-configured to use this repository, so no need to worry about getting moved to 4.3 unless you change it. See Important news for openSUSE KDE4 users[6] for more information about KDE repos in the openSUSE Build Service and package naming changes.

Cool stuff! Good job, KDE team! So, hrm, what's the process to do the same thing for GNOME 2.26? :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

To make the reloaded CD or to put out an announcement about it? Vavai put together a tutorial on doing live CDs: http://vavai.net/2009/01/04/how-to-make-opensuse-111-kde35-livecd-or-livedvd... If someone in the GNOME community has created a live CD or respin, let me know and I'd be happy to announce it.

To make the reloaded CD semi-official. So I guess the latter :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Trying to comply to openSUSE Trademark Guidelines as far as possible likely helps :-), see home:Beineri:kiwi for some required/patched packages. Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Actually most of the kudos for the Reloaded Live CD goes to the part of the KDE team that's no longer paid by Novell. Which makes it even more kudos by my calculations. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
