Dear Suse-People,
I can understand your decision not to release the internal Release Candidates RC2 and so on for public. I think in this hot phase of the release cycle, you guys have much more important things to do. But I have one question: Is it possible to get only the MOST important fixes and packages since RC1? To make it clear: I don't mean a complete release, but I mean updated packages which fixed critical bugs or important packages like kernel and so on.
Is it possible to make this packages available for public? How about putting them in Yast Online Update? Or, if this is not possible, what about releasing them inofficially in the apt-repositary "suse-people"? IIRC, in Beta-phase there were some updates through YOU, even for RC1 there was a new kernel for short time while currently all corresponding directories are empty.
Hi Christoph, for 10.1 we're planning to release every RC - but I think of only release delta ISOs to not put too much burden on this for our ftp mirrors. We sometimes do two RCs on a day and a full public release takes time... The kernel is out there already, you can get the current kernel of the day from ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/{i386,x86_64,ppc}/ The final RC is still going through some final review internally and we're going to ship the goldmaster on the 6th of october as announced. If there are a really small number of critical packages that are needed (not much more than 10), then tell me the list and I upload them tomorrow. A full list is something that we cannot do right now but like to do for 10.1...
