[sles-beta] Who had tested SLE12 at the application level?

[Johannes Meixner]

Hello,

in general I would like to know to what extent SLE12 was tested
at the application level and in particular I am interested in
the base printing system (CUPS, Ghostscript, printer drivers,...).

I have not yet begun testing migration sceneries or done any
sociability/stability testing of at the application level.
..
Is just that I'm a laggard or are other finding that SLES12 is still
not ready for testing furter up the application stack yet?

I am a bit worried now because I am in particular interested
that the base printing system was tested to get at least feedback
by real users "out there".

There are major incompatible changes in the printing system.
See the SLE12 release notes and for details see in particular
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404
and follow the links therein.

You cannot "just upgrade" a SLE11 CUPS server to SLE12 and
expect that afterwards printing "just works as before".

Or am I overanxious and "Printing" is not (or not yet?)
of real importance?
