No answer yet - what's up at SUSE? The time plan is hurt, and nothing but silence.
Sorry for the late answer. Our project managers have decided to delay Beta1. Reason: a bug in insserv.
The "insserv" program determines the order of the init scripts. A bug in it results in the wrong order of init scripts, which results in a partially or completely unusable system. The package maintainer of insserv is debugging it. Trying obvious things like going back to the old insserv did not help, so it seems it was a dormant bug which was only triggered now. Side-effects of hundreds of changes we did for Beta1.
But don't panic: Just the usual chaos at the beginning of a new release. ;-)
Hi! What method do You use to update the installed system? Smart do'nt find any new package. How can I setup smart, to use as a repository http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source The last weekend, I made the update via apt-get, and the system becomes very slowly loading KDE. Can You help me in the setup of the smart update? Thanks
