Re: slowroll will not install correctly from either network iso or DVD image

by Wayne Patton

Hi Larry, I just followed the process in Bernard's below and it worked fine. I have a VM running slowroll now. I used the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20230822-Media.iso he references below then replaced the repos and zypper dup.

Makes it impossible to do updates and you are stuck with a broken Tumbleweed. I even went as far as to install a 3 year old Tumbleweed ISO with a 5.X kernel but it was so old that zypper could do a dup with the current slowroll repos - said all were invalid format. I think an ISO with a 6.4 kernel might be the only way. I will disable the network in VirtualBox and download and try again the DVD iso. Larry On 9/19/23 06:59, Bernhard M.

For the moment, you can 'convert' the isos to use the Slowroll repo: mksusecd --create slowroll.iso \ --net http://download.opensuse.org/slowroll/repo/oss \ openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Snapshot20240429-Media.iso Steffen

Re: Just figured out that the slowroll I installed pointed to tumbleweed repos and not slowroll repo. It still is broken.

My understanding is that currently images in > https://download.opensuse.org/slowroll/ are just copies of Tumbleweed > images? installation DVDs are still hard, because those are built by product-builder that does not work with the snapshotted repo, because it is pulled back into OBS via download-on-demand. Maybe I could create NET isos. Meanwhile, there are images for VMs and cloud at https://download.opensuse.org/update/slowroll/images/?P=*qcow2 These are built with a modern kiwi. But still have some issues (outdated kernel-obs-build version, cloud-init blocks local root login by default) Ciao Bernhard M.

Because, unlike Leap where maintenance for SLE packages is effectively 'automatic' (ie. taken care as part of the daily business of SLE), and unlike Tumbleweed where it's also effectively 'automatic' ('just throw a new version at it), Slowroll will likely require old-fashioned maintenance (CVE bumps, backports, narrow-fixes) for packages in Slowroll but not-yet-ready to be copied from Tumbleweed I suppose we COULD just take the approach of having Slowroll carrying 'known issues' until the impacted packages pull from Tumbleweed But I think that's not exactly an ethical way of distributing software - if that's the route we go down, we'd need to make it very clear that Tumbleweed would be the objectively more secure, better maintained offering of the Project. And if that becomes the case, then what would the point of Slowroll be? So yeah, if we're going to do Slowroll, we need to maintain is well, which would mean rapid response for narrow fixes when bugs/CVE's/security issues arise but we can't trust the packages from Tumbleweed yet to resolve them. And I recognise that's an extra challenge to find contributors willing to do that work given, under a model like Slowroll, we absolutely will be throwing away that work and replacing it with packages from Tumbleweed within a designated time. -- Richard Brown Distributions Architect SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Frankenstraße 146, D-90461 Nuremberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Directors/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich
