[04-28-16 12:46]: Hi fellow geekos,
As I already announced in my last weekly review [0], the next snapshot (0422) will be HUGE. With the update of glibc to version 2.23, we bootstrapped the entire distro again to ensure everything is really built up proper again - which results in new binaries all over the place.
Besides this, openQA has detected that using the Live Images to install a system does not work [1]: initrd is not being written and added to the bootoader config. Neither DVD nor NET installer are facing this problem, so I am still considering releasing this snapshot. We surely hope that this will be only a short time where the LIVE Medias are not installable.
If you think this is the wrong move and the 0422 snapshot should NOT be released, then speak up! I have to give openQA a manual go anyway and I'll hold this back until Thu, April 28 22:00 UTC - so i ask YOU, the community, if this release is acceptable to you or not.
Works for me. I say release it. Updating/upgrading installed systems will not notice a problem with "live" images.
release it.
I vote for releasing it as well. That's what Snapshots are for!
