We have just announced the release of the first release candidate of openSUSE 10.3.
RC1 is now available to download via software.openSUSE.org/developer.

Call for Testing

If you want to help testing our standard test cases, please coordinate with others and subscribe to opensuse-testing@opensuse.org (subscribe)! I'd like to do a special call for testing our update stack. Besides the installation itself, updating packages is one of the most important criteria so that we can deliver fixes and you can install software. Some test cases are available at http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Testsuite. Please also use the updates we're going to put on our update server. You can install packages and updates with the YaST Qt and Gtk packager modules, with the opensuse-updater applets for GNOME and KDE and additionally with the command line tool zypper.

Thanks,

Andreas

Andreas, I have 10.0

Andreas,
I have 10.0 installed but I cant find how I can move to 10.2 or 10.3 easily.
Also I have tried doing updates from a mirror here and it seems if they dont follow strict directory naming then it wont work.
The mirror is on my isp so the download is free- hence I would like to use it. The update gui is very confusing because you dont seem to be able to work out where it is going to download from and which files it is going to update. I downloaded all the files to my pc but couldnt get it to point to the directory or accept the files I had downloaded. I mean they even confuse you as to which files are the updates as they have 2 places with "the same" files in them as follows: -/linux/suse/Suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586 /linux/suse/Suse/i386/update/10.2/rpm
It is a user experience nightmare YAst etc. which I am sure you and the developers cant see as you understand the underlying infrastructure. :)
This is feedback not a support call.
John
