Dear developers, I heard 10.1 will contain X.org 6.9, but seeing as 7.0 is going to be the branch for future updates, why did we not choose to use 7.0? Fedora Core 5 uses 7.0 so that's a proof-of-possibility, right? -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-07 W14-5 UTC+0530

The difference from 6.9 to 7.0 is only the way of packaging. It does not make a big difference whether this move is done between 10.0 and 10.1 or between 10.1 and 10.2.

Code wise it's the same - but it is indeed separate packages and AFAIK no more /usr/X11R6 anymore. So, this needs changes to other packages and since for the user there's no visible change in running the apps, we decide to upgrade after 10.1 is out, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Which is why there were no new features added to YaST since January. <ducks> houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau

That's a bug, not a feature. :-D houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau
