Subject: [opensuse-buildservice] OBS 2.1 Beta 1 released
Date: Wednesday 22 September 2010, 14:38:36
From: Adrian Schröter
To: opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org
OBS 2.1 Beta 1 is available
===========================
As usual packages can be found inside of the openSUSE:Tools:Unstable
project of OBS and its repositories. The correct version tag for the packages
and inside git is 2.0.103 for this release:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools:/Unstable/
Appliances can be accessed via this wiki page as usual:
http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/OBS-Appliance
Appliance users can just update the appliance image or the packages and
reboot for ugrading their instance. Others need to read the
"README.UPDATERS" file with information about manual updating the server.
There is also a new media, called obs-server-install inside of
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools:/Unstable/images/i...
which can be used to install an entire OBS server from scratch to hard disc.
Special thanks go to LinuxFoundation, Intel and Nokia for their contributions
to this release.
We plan to release 2.1 Final in about 2 weeks. The following is an extract of
the release notes with informations about the new features:
