Weekly News for March 26

26 Mar '11

The Testing Core Team will hold an IRC meeting on March 28, 2011 at 17:00 UTC. The time change reflects that nearly everyone is now on summer time. We will be finalizing our plans for the next "Open Bugs Day", which will be from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC, Saturday April 2, 2011. As written before, the emphasis will be on identifying those bugs reported for 11.2 and older that are still present in 11.4. We will not attempt to squash these bugs, but to make sure that none have been forgotten. After the release of 11.5 M5, we will have a bug-squashing day. We will also be testing and commenting on the Web application that Bernhard Wiedermann has written to help in bug selection and processing. This will be the last Weekly News before the event. Please plan to join the bug identification effort. The specific Web links for "Open Bugs Day" are not available to me now; however, you will be able to access them from http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Testing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

Weekly News for March 19

The Testing Core Team met March 14, 2011 at 18:00 UTC. Our first item of business was to discuss our experiences with openSUSE 11.4, the new bugs we had found, and the status of the "most annoying bugs". Most of the latter have been fixed, and none of us had found any serious bugs. We then discussed the plans for the next "Open Bugs Day", which will be from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC, Saturday April 2, 2011. The emphasis will be on identifying those bugs reported for 11.2 and older that are still present in 11.4. We will not attempt to squash these bugs, but to make sure that none have been forgotten. After the release of 11.5 M5, we will have a bug-squashing day. We also discussed changes to the Web application that Bernhard Wiedermann wrote to help in bug selection and processing. The next meeting of the TCT will be on March 28 at 17:00 UTC to test that application and do our final preparations for the event. Please plan to join the bug identification effort. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

Sascha, Please add the next open-bugs day to the calender. Thanks, Larry ===================================================================== The Testing Core Team met February 28 and March 7, 2011 at 18:00 UTC. In the first meeting, we discussed our experiences with 11.4 RC2, which were mostly positive. We then covered the success of Open-Bugs-Day and began our planning for the next one, which will be from 00:00 till 23:59 UTC on April 2, 2011. No, that is not a late April Fool's joke. We will check for 11.[123] bugs on 11.4 Please put this date on your calenders. More details will be forthcoming next week. In the March 7 meeting, which was optional due to religious holiday in Bavaria, we discussed our experiences with the post-RC2 updates that Bernhard Wiedermann had made available. Most of the discussion centered about the bug that broke a "zypper dup" upgrade. The workaround was easy, but it was very important to publicize it in the Forums and on the wiki page describing the upgrade. That problem is now fixed and is no longer presented on the most annoying bugs page. The TCT will meet again at 18:00 UTC on March 14 to discuss the 11.4 release. For the record, the release has performed well on the 5 systems on which I have installed it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help(a)opensuse.org

inofficial RC2.1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi testers, since there have been a number of post-RC2 changes, and I would hate to see that go out untested, I updated the repo at http://mirror.zq1.de/opensuse/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/ so that you can just "zypper up" to it from RC2. Older RCs would need a more careful zypper dup.

I have both locked out on all 11+ 11.4 systems. Only the fastest of them has the missing nav buttons in Firefox problem.
