OpenSUSE News/10.3alpha6-Release

由 opensuse-announce 郵件列表轉貼

Hi!

AJ used to write here, that he's glad to announce. I can't say I am - I am relieved I can announce openSUSE 10.3 Alpha6 to you. I didn't have a chance to put too much testing into more than the i586 DVD5 and the KDE CD. But I didn't want to wait any longer either. So I'm left with hoping the best.

Important Changes Since Alpha5(Alpha5的改變)

• Linux 2.6.22
• libzypp 3.11.8
• gcc 4.2
• Continued splitting of packages to reduce size
• Introduction of x86_64 CDs for both KDE and GNOME

This is a first alpha release containing the new refactored libzypp software management library. The goal was to deliver a working version for this alpha, so expect rough edges, unusal slowdown and behavior, for example YaST integration is really alpha quality. All bug reports are very welcome.

A more detailed list of changes is available via http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News .

Most Annoying Bugs(最令人困擾的錯誤)

• Network setup is still broken (e.g. Bug 292401)
• Public key for checking release-notes.rpm is unavailable (Bug 292402)
• Registration is broken (Bug 292404)
• GNOME 2.19 is W.I.P. (Bug 292706 and Bug 292837)
• "Add default repositories" crashes the installation (Bug 292643)

As mentioned above, this might be the first alpha we release with known alpha quality.

Call for Testing(呼籲測試)

• libzypp/zypper

Give this good testing. The integration into yast needs testing, zypper
needs testing, updates would be good to test.
Please note that the zypp development team collected a huge collection of
test cases and these pass. So while the new libzypp version didn't get much
real life testing, our hopes are high it will work out for you.

• GNOME

The desktop doesn't give a good impression to first time users at the moment.
