SUSE 5149 Published by

The second version of the upcoming openSUSE 42.2 is now available



42.2 Alpha2 is on the mirrors, get it from
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.2/iso/

Since Alpha1 lots of components from SLE 12SP2 could be integrated,
among them an updated YaST, a full GNOME 3.20 update, samba 4.4, systemd
228, glibc 2.22. Mesa 11.2, cmake 3.5 etc.

KDE wasn't updated yet so testing Alpha2 probably makes more sense
on GNOME right now. Bugzilla is awaiting your reports¹.

Some of those updates like cmake and glibc cause other packages to fail
building. So the amount of broken packages in 42.2 has increased quite a
bit, according to the dashboard² we have 181 unresolvable or failed
packages right now. Help to analyze and fix the issues is appreciated
there.

The next Alpha is schedule for July 20th, so please submit³ your
fixes and package updates no later than July 15th.

Have fun and cu at the conference!
