Questions about opensuse 11.1 (?)

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi all,

Just have a few questions that the well informed might be able to enlighten me on:

  1. Will opensuse 11.1 be LSB 4.0 compliant?
    LSB Roadmap - The Linux Foundation

  2. Is it intended for 11.1 to ship with opensysnc 0.40?
    OpenSync - Trac

Cheers

I haven’t been following that, but, let’s take a look:
11-November-2008
* Release of LSB 4.0
vs

openSUSE 11.1 Schedule
* Thu, Nov 13: openSUSE 11.1 RC1 - snapshot release
* Thu, Nov 27: openSUSE 11.1 RC2 - snapshot release

So I doubt it, as packages will be frozen going into beta.

A way to track that is to look at the kernel change-logs @ The Linux Kernel Archives. There you will see they are working 2.6.27-rc6-git2 and the latest I have as of 2-days ago is 2.6.27-rc5-git5 (I think).
Anyway, click on the “Changelog” link & use the Firefox “Find” feature.

If and when it is added, it will eventually make it’s way into the release as a kernel update – although we may have to turn it on with a kernel config.

My 2-cents:P

cheers, but i thought that LSB cerification was largely a matter of configuration, something that big distros worked out in concert with the linux foundation, like suses move to change kde folders in response to an LSB standard?

in short i am hoping that it is happening now, and 11.1 will be LSB 4.0 compliant on release…

#4

what about full support for Dirac?

#5

is opensync still a novell sponsored project?

#6

will 11.1 introduce support for rpm 4.6 as pioneered by Fedora in their upcoming 10 release?

#7

No, it will not.

#8

cheers for the info.

is that because suse is going down the ‘other’ rpm fork, or just a case of net yet?

any idea on the other questions?

many thanks

#9

Case of “not yet”.

#10

It will be interesting to see if anyone notices a difference with this latest version of RPM. As I look at the list and the fedora stuff now it looks like it’s just a bit more efficient.

#11

I guess it will hit for SLED 11

Any ideas on the other questions.

My thanks for the answers

#12

As SLED11 will be based on openSUSE 11.1, rpm 4.6 will also be not in SLED11.

#13

thank you, your time given answering my questions is much appreciated. :slight_smile:

now for the next:
Will 11.1 include the new intel vga driver 2.5 release which is due on monday?
[Phoronix] xf86-video-intel 2.4.98 Test Driver](http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Njc5NA)
I am unsure as too whether the driver is tied to x.org/x-server…

I am thinking about getting a netbook in time for 11.1 and am naturally keen to see the latest intel driver included.

Many thanks

#14

any news on the intel driver and opensysnc .40?

Thank you

#15

any news on the intel 2.5 driver?

#16

Not sure how to word this question, but here goes. In beta 3 when ever I boot the computer up durring the loading of opensuse I was getting two quick loud beeps from the computer tower. Is this normal? I’ve never had it happen before 11.1

#17

bump - -any news on the Intel 2.5.1 driver? :slight_smile:
