What a grand morning,

New Zealand 15 - 15 Lions and VET beats HAM in P3 to make Q very interesting ;o)

Many Thanks Marcus, I'm updating LEAP42 in the home_office and sles12 in SAG_office, looking grand.

It's going to be a grand Saturday.

Hi,

FWIW, I just released the Leap 42.2 kernel update. It is 4.4.74 though, but of course future
updates will bring 4.4.75 or newer versions.

Ciao, Marcus

I thought the idea was Weed would tumble along out at point and find the new way. LEAP42 would filter out the good stuff and this would pass into the Beta's of the main applications of SUSE . Now we have a security patch update, which seems could not wait for the next update, but this is not available to the public version yet.
