(3) warn noobs that 10.1 is sort of an interim release - as far as packagemanagement goes - to avoid that this release does serious damage to the good and respected (by sane, mature people at least) SUSE name.
!?!? You are joking right? If it is so bad, it shouldn't be sold at al, or at least put a big warning on the box saying; don't use this unless you like trouble.
Off topic: Like I wrote before this discussion is off topic and almost thread hijacking but I feel I have to answer. I'm just speaking my mind as a community member - I never had anything to do with the decision to release. In my opinion 10.1 packagemanagement is bad enough to give SUSE a bad rep - who knows how long it'll take to remedy that. I think this should and can be avoided/reduced by an effort to "prepare" people for some troubles and informing them of workarounds - like using Smart - or maybe waiting a couple of months before upgrading - maybe then some patches will be out - let's hope that some are out by the time the retail box hits stores. Again, I believe that this buggy release will help make 10.2 and SLED 10 better - and in the long run we'll benefit from it - but for now damage control is on top of my agenda. But hey, you make up your own mind how bad you think it is. Martin / cb400f
