Preface: We are trying out a new way to spread status reports on the
openSUSE distribution, infrastructure and other topics around openSUSE. They
are supposed to help facilicate the openSUSE bi-weekly IRC status meeting
(scheduled for tomorrow, 2007-08-29, 6pm CEST). As this is the first
attempt, we are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for
improvements!
status report: openSUSE distribution, week 35
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 10.3 Beta2 released in time on 2007-08-23, overall feedback quite mixed,
there is still a lot of room for improvement
* hot spots: libzypp, dist upgrade, bootloader config, hal, bundle-lang /
translation handling, patterns / cd/package layout.
- no LiveCD for Beta2, due to time constraints
* Beta3 will hopefully ship a LiveCD from day 0
- a couple of late version updates got approved this week, including
MozillaFirefox, MozillaThunderbird, seamonkey, wine, samba, bluez-libs.
* upgrading a package at this time in the release cycle is going to be
very unlikely now.
- we are currently preparing for an internal test build, scheduled for
2007-08-29, to get another round of testing for libzypp
- way to many open red bugs: 31 blocker, 103 critical
* will need to review the critical bugs
* if there is anything <critical that needs attention, make sure to set
NEEDINFO to cthiel or coolo, to get it onto our radar.
- current focus for Beta3:
* bundle-lang and friends (translations, l10n)
+ a proposal on the language addons is coming up tomorrow
* patterns / media layout
* LiveCD
* libzypp
Is there anything missing? Please let us know, if we are ignoring any hot
spots?
Best,
Christoph
