In this morning’s mail on the Factory ML, Stephan Kulow, the Release Manager,
posted the following:
“The show stoppers we had this morning are all fixed, so in good hope that
the current checkin round will magically make everything perfect, I raised
the version to M5, so we can publish it tomorrow.”
Thus, it appears the MS5 will be on time.

I wonder if “systemd” will be enabled by default.

Probably not. It is likely that you will need to invoke it from the GRUB options
line.
Nice, i can’t wait for it.

I did a “zypper dup” on a 12.1 machine today, and it not reports MS5.
you should do it tomorrow
Its good to see M5 being released. I’m about to leave the continent for 2.5 weeks on vacation, so I won’t do any testing until I return. I did note this comment on M5 on the factory mailing list:
My suspicion is the instability of Xorg-x11-server mean that 1.10 never made it into a milestone release causing Xorg-x11-server testing to lag. There being no real M4 release due to other activities taking place, also mean no further progress in that area. With the new 1.11 Xorg-x11-server being released so far now into the release cycle of openSUSE-12.1, there is IMHO a real likelyhood that 12.1 will be released with a fairly old version of the Xorg-x11-server. The implications of this are IMHO that stability for those devices currently supported well in openSUSE-11.4 will continue. But those new hardware devices (such as Sandybridge graphics) that struggle with the Xorg-x11-server 1.9.3 and also 1.10 (and can not take advantage of new features in Mesa and the kernel because of that old Xorg-x11-server version) will continue to seriously lag and function very poorly with openSUSE-12.1.
From a support perspective, this means we probably will encounter a number of users complain about openSUSE-12.1’s graphic functionality compared to other distributions which have managed to put in the newer Xorg-x11-server and Mesa versions.
Its something that I’m curious about, and will continue to watch when I return from my vacation.
On a different note, I ‘unstuck’ the M4 stickie in this Pre-release/beta forum area.
I thought that there wasn’t enough help for packaging for 1.10 to be released.
If this is true for 12.1. We should experiment with the new releases in the X11 repositories.
Hi everyone,
Just did a “zypper dup” on my 12.1 about an hour ago. “My Computer” confirms MS5 is installed.
Cheers!
