[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 11.1 Alpha3 and status](http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-09/msg00066.html)

The status of the distribution is short this time: last week was hackweek ->
not much progress. We still have too many failing packages.

Amen to that!

As soon as I’m back in Nuremberg next week, I’ll push for a test build
Alpha3plus.

And I for one will be looking for it:)

I don’t see alpha3 in the roadmap
Roadmap - openSUSE

since I happy with alpha2 ,I will wait until beta 4 to give another try ;).

xorg 7.4 is supposed to be released tomorrow:
X.Org Wiki - Releases/7.4
Anyone know when will be included in openSUSE? Alpha 3 or later?
Thanks

My guess is that it depends on how ATI & nVidia turns out the drivers; Distrowatch shows 7.3, but that could change very rapidly depending on how the drivers come along.

xorg 7.4 is in factory now! My anxiety for openSUSE 11.1 is growing…

Alpha3 was not delayed, it was cancelled since it was uninstallable.

Finally found something in writing that confirms what I’ve been experiencing lately with Factory network install. Hope the Devs find a fix soon.

Beta 1 is next according to the roadmap.
