Sascha,

Below is my report for this week's news.

============================================

For general news about the openSUSE Testing Core Team, please see http://tinyurl.com/24n8ufe and the links within it.

The Team held a special regular IRC meeting last Monday to report our experiences with Factory at the half-way point between RC1 and RC2. Our hope is to find any bugs that might have been introduced in the development, and to track the repairs on the bugs that were in RC1. As the schedule calls for only 2 weeks between RC2 and the GM release, there is not much time for finding and fixing bugs.

The Team will hold our regular meeting next Monday to discuss our experiences with RC2.

At this writing, my only RC2 installation is an update from RC1 using the NET install CD on a 32-bit virtual machine running under VirtualBox. This update proceeded without problems. After rebooting, DNS did not work due to a faulty resolv.conf - a condition that was logged. It was a simple fix, but one that might be a problem for a new user.
