openSUSE Leap 15.5 Beta - Frequency of package updates?

Hi everybody,

I just recently got my new laptop, a Lenovo T16 AMD Gen1 (with Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U and Radeon 680M Graphics). I ordered it with preinstalled Ubuntu (with some OEM repositories from Lenovo activated) to be able to test everything and that worked out nicely.
Then my next step was, to test installation of my preferred distribution, which is openSUSE Leap. I decided to go with Leap 15.5 Beta, because I expect it to have the newer hardware enablement stack and backports in kernel already in the installation image.

Installation was really smooth and also until now everything is running really good - including also Wifi and Bluetooth (Qualcomm Wifi 6E and BT 5.3 - which might have been problematic).
Really, I am so very pleased that everything seems to work perfectly (or at least without noticable bugs) OUT OF THE BOX!!! Thanks everyone for making that possible!

But now my question: I am new at having Beta Version of openSUSE, so I am a little confused now, because since installation on 03.04. there have been no updated versions of packages, as far as I could see.
Of course I am aware that this is for testing and support is limited until release, no problem with that.
But is there a schedule for updates in the Beta phase? Something like “we build a new image every two weeks and repos for installed Betas will also be updated then”??
Or other way around: How often can I expect package updates in Beta Phase and then in RC phase?

Thanks in advance!

What you are seeing is fairly typical of Beta releases. They go for a while without updates. And then there is a massive update.

The release team are concentrating on a consistent set of packages. When they have something consistent enough for a new release, then the make it available. At present they are probably working on the first RC (release candidate).

After the final release of 15.5, you will see this change with bug fixes showing up as needed (usually every few days).

After posting this, I have just noticed that there’s a large update to 15.5.

OK, thanks, will take that into account then.
And I understood, that there are no fixed build dates for the beta.

Yes, also had it now. Was about 900 MB and updated dozens of packages.

Thanks again.
