I don't know what change is needed, but I do know there needs to be a commitment to putting out releases that you can pop in the tray and have work without gigabyte updates required in the first 30 days.
Well.... one problem (as I see it) is that the number of testers on the Alpha and Beta runs is... very low. Once the final release comes out, the wider audience thinks that they can now install... they do, and then QA problems start to show up... stuff that was missed in the Factory cycle.
Yep. As an Open Source software developer myself I think this is generally true. Test releases, of just about everything, get little play. Then all kinds of stuff shows up in the release.... ugh.
I'm guilty of this myself.
Me too. :( I've promised myself I'll install the latest alpha into a VMware VM next weekend. We'll see. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
