| Linux Release Details: |
| openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 1 is available |
| We kickstart a major development into the next version of openSUSE: openSUSE 11.0. A very early alpha version, Alpha 1, is now available for download and testing. Despite many other products being developed in parallel to Factory, we have seen a heavy stream of development on it, so it is really worth a try if you have time for testing. The main changes against Alpha 0 are: |
- Sat Solver integration
- Michael Schröder?s ?sat solver? library is now the default
package solver for libzypp, so make sure you doublecheck the selected
packages - there might be suprises ahead. Please note that we need test
cases for things that look funny to you (wiki link)
- Heavy changes to the appearance of the Qt installation (ported to qt4)
- Note that it?s still in draft state and your feedback is welcome
- KDE 4.0.0
- perl 5.10
- glibc 2.7
- NetworkManager 0.7
- CUPS 1.3.5
- Pulseaudio
Most Annoying Bugs
Due to the huge amount of changes, there are also several noticeable bugs:
- The new solver does not yet have a ?ignore this requirement? choice, i.e. it?s not possible to create a broken system. We?re still discussing if this is a bug or a feature
- the CDs lack a huge amount of software. Many packages had to be taken out to make way for others. The CDs should still have a a completely working desktop, however.
- the Qt port and its theme are early releases and create noticeably more flickering and drawing glitches, e.g. the progress bar is only visible on some installations
- jpackage packages are broken and one package will complain during installation - just ignore
- the installation crashes at the end when creating the x11 proposal: in this case, your desktop will still have a working X config, it just might not be the perfect one. You may need to call sax2 after it happens
- PPC cannot be installed as the bootloader config can?t be written out. However, you can get a working PPC system when updating from alpha0
