Hi!
Didn't manage to write the status yesterday, I guess in calmer weeks
it will be easier :)
status report: week 37
- Christoph was responsible for beta2 and beta3, I took back over after
beta3 was released (thanks for all the warm words, btw).
- bug count is biggest concern right now. We're down from 12 blocker
and 98 critical on saturday to 5 blocker and 91 critical (this of course
include massive testing from all side, so we see new bugs every hour).
- Biggest non-working part seems to be update right now. It creates problems
in several parts. Update from 10.1 was completely unsupported with beta3,
update from 10.2 created broken bootloader config in parts.
- we reorganized the DVD layout again, so we fit more packages suggested
in patterns and remove things that aren't listed in patterns.
- we found a solution for the bundle-lang problem, so that we can save space
on the CDs without breaking update to FTP later
- we're still discussing if we go with ipw or iwl as default for the newer
Intel wlan chips. iwl still has issues, but ipw is no longer maintained
by Intel (but is our default as I write)
- libzypp in beta3 had severe problems, so we have to have good faith for
RC1 (online update was broken and the online update to fix it wasn't pulled
in for everyone - and update from 10.2-x86_64 has shown problems)
- the bigsmp kernel still causes problems (not just on virtualbox), so I
decided to revert that feature and go with bigsmp only on big smp machines
again (we might have a pae kernel in the future, so we're still interested
in figuring out what's the problem with the other kernel).
- LiveCDs of beta3 have shown too many problems to release them. So we only
use them for further developing of them
- this week:
- more bug fixing
- daily builds till we have a working update from 10.2 on coolo's laptop
and a half way working update from 10.1 on coolo's wife computer (I admit
it sounds selfish :)
- an internal build with DVD. Based on that I'll publish live CDs.
If you miss anything, let me know.
Greetings, Stephan
