Comment on Evergreen project status update by Sascha

I am still using openSUSE 11.1 (besides openSUSE 12.1) and, therefore, I am very thankful for what you have done.
On the mailing-list there was a talk about a meeting with regard to a possible future for openSUSE 11.1 Evergreen.
Did this meeting happen?
Maybe it is possible to find a little group of people who has the time to maintain openSUSE 11.1 or parts of it (e.g. the non-GUI ones) also in 2012.
Libre Office, KDE3, Mozilla products (“your” mozilla OBS repo), Wine and Kernel 2.6.32 still work.

I fully agree with Peter, I think you did an outstanding job. 11.1 maintenance for 3 years is quite nice for a community distribution indeed!

openSUSE 11.1 will be the first LTS openSUSE desktop release ever, maintained for three years, and you did it. What an outstanding work!
In my opinion, a LTS release is something that Suse/openSUSE should do regularly.
You proved that it is possible, even with very limited manpower, i.e. mostly one maintainer (!).
So it is a huge success.

It’s not intended but it cannot be avoided either. OBS needs to support it for us. I got a statement back in January that it might be possible to enable that for us but it didn’t happen yet. I need to recheck with the OBS guys.

Is it intended that previous RPMs are removed from Evergreen when new versions are available? On my system MozillaFirefox-3.6.15-3.1.x86_64.rpm has just been deleted when MozillaFirefox-3.6.16-4.1.i586.rpm is beeing downloaded.

Comment on Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) vs. HTC Desire by barca96

barca96 — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 08:33:13 +0000

Hi,

I like your arguments.
I agree with you.
The only thing that’s putting me off the Galaxy is the lack of LED. Without it, it’s basically impossible to catch a decent photo or record a video at night. sigh.

However, the downside of the Desire is the screen.

I don’t know which one is more useful. A LED or better screen? Can you advice me?

Thanks
