From beta-programs at lists.suse.com Fri Feb 7 11:01:52 2020 From: beta-programs at lists.suse.com (SUSE Beta Program) Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2020 19:01:52 +0100 Subject: [sle-beta] [ANNOUNCE] SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 Public Beta! Message-ID: <5e3da6107a503_22122ad69d0185f8507b4@zourite.lab.gb.mail> Our Public Beta for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 is available. - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP (SLES for SAP), - SUSE Linux Enterprise Just Enough Operating System (JeOS), - SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability (SLEHA and SLEHA GEO), - SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED), - SUSE Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension (SLEWE), - SUSE Linux Enterprise for High Performance Computing (SLEHPC). Download ?[1] At the time of this announcement, Media2 and Media3 are still being uploaded. We are sorry for the inconvenience As usual there is a lot to say about the Public Beta of SLE 15 SP2, and overall we made more than 840 updates to our packages. Please check out the "Important Notice" and "Notable Changes" section below for more information. Important Notice - SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 (SLE 15 SP2) is a Refresh Service Pack. - Media Changes: Easier handling of online vs offline installation. The Unified Installer and Packages DVDs known from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 are deprecated and have been replaced by the following media: -- Online Installation Media: All SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 products can be installed with this lightweight stand alone media, after entering a registration key[2]. The necessary packages are fetched from online repositories only. -- Full Installation Media: All SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 products can be installed without network connection with this media, for offline installation scenarios. The media contains all necessary packages. It consists of directories with module repositories which need to be added manually as needed. RMT (Repository Mirroring Tool) and SUSE Manager provide additional options for disconnected or managed installation. Please also note that we have replaced the word "DVD" by "Media" for the ISO names. - Maven: as a Technical Preview. Version 3.6.2 has been added. Changes to our SLE Pre-Releases Today's challenges are common to every developer, you need to "release early, release often"[3], but also make sure you have the best feedback loop and collaboration with your users. So we are excited to present you our response to these challenges with our new way of providing SUSE Linux Enterprise Pre-Release! The SLE 15 SP2 schedule[4] introduces some significant changes to the former SLE schedule that you might be used to. In the past, like for SLE 15 SP1 Public Beta Program, all testers (Internal, Technology Partners, Public) were receiving the same images with the same cadence, about 2-3 weeks. However for Internal and Partners, the 2-3 weeks cadence of official and fully tested images, from our internal automated and manual QA, was too long. And providing around 7-8 pre-releases to our Public beta testers, was also difficult for some to cope with. Thus as part of the examination of the new challenges we took three major decisions: - Increase the cadence of internal milestones to our developers and Technology Partners, Bring more flexibility into the testing schedules of our developers and Technology Partners. - Reduce number of Public Pre-Release images to 3, Only one Beta, one Release Candidate and one Gold Master Candidate will be available on download.suse.com. - Provide more updates through our Beta Online Channels, Changes in the weekly internal milestones will be provided to the Public as updates through our SLE 15 SP2 Beta Online Channels. We hope this approach will address the needs of our different beta stakeholders. The "hardcore" testers get more frequent images to test and validate, our Public testers get fewer ISOs to install but still get frequent updates from our Engineering. Of course, we are highly interested by your feedback and experience to make any adaptations or changes in the future. Contact us at beta-programs at lists.suse.com! Notable Changes Changes for SCSI Devices With the update to the 5.3 kernel asynchronous SCSI Devices is more aggressive! This should be an important topic for your testing, therefore please check the full details at HERE[5]. Added Packages - collectd - espeak-ng (replacing espeak) - gcc9 - ibus-anthy - ibus-cangjie - kiwi-templates-JeOS (replacing kiwi-templates-SLES15-JeOS) - maven - nodejs12 - openmpi3 - pipewire - powertop - purple-rocketchat (SLED/WE) - zstd SLES for SAP Salt automation for the deployment of SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver and DRBD was previously available as a technology preview from PackageHub.

Looking good SUSE. One or three nags but on the whole a good looking Beta. Yast2 is looking smart again, all lined up like soldiers on parade. A hqave run three, two looked grand, one shows the display and you can acrivate an APP but it does not do it's thing, nor can you close it bar from the bottom bar. I did set --allow-vendor-change 'cos there were a number of these prompts, should there have been ? There were quite a number of nags on "File Conflicts" but gave them a yes and the gods were with me. I'll put these nages in a file next week. One machine was migrated from SP-0 to SP-1 and then to SP-2 so very impressed. I'll have a look at "UPDATE" from some SLES12 SP-5 machines later, thought Migrate was going to take longer ;o) __R -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <0352b79aad8e4d2f96d5bda166c512a6@softwareag.com> Well there you are, thanks to another Sand&Sun worker it looks like either one of my "file Conflicts" or "nothing provides" have given me the /etc/issue and the betaversion issue. I now have two machines that do give back "PublicBeta" to /etc/issue and the "grep". So no nags at all... Some of my machines are old, like their maker so I'll look again at those, but the SLES12's are working well. Wind getting up, time to close up. __R ________________________________ From: Waite, Dick (External) Sent: 09 February 2020 12:27:22 To: sle-beta at lists.suse.com Subject: What beta version is...

Having trouble viewing this email? Please check the plain text version of it with your mailer [http://beta.suse.com/private/SLE12/suse_logo_color-reduced.png] [https://www.suse.com/betaprogram/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/SLE15SP2-Beta.jpg] Our Public Beta for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 is available. * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), * SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP (SLES for SAP), * SUSE Linux Enterprise Just Enough Operating System (JeOS), * SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability (SLEHA and SLEHA GEO), * SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED), * SUSE Linux Enterprise Workstation Extension (SLEWE), * SUSE Linux Enterprise for High Performance Computing (SLEHPC). Download ? At the time of this announcement, Media2 and Media3 are still being uploaded. We are sorry for the inconvenience As usual there is a lot to say about the Public Beta of SLE 15 SP2, and overall we made more than 840 updates to our packages. Please check out the "Important Notice" and "Notable Changes" section below for more information. Important Notice * SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 2 (SLE 15 SP2) is a Refresh Service Pack. * Media Changes: Easier handling of online vs offline installation. The Unified Installer and Packages DVDs known from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 are deprecated and have been replaced by the following media: * Online Installation Media: All SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 products can be installed with this lightweight stand alone media, after entering a registration key. The necessary packages are fetched from online repositories only. * Full Installation Media: All SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 products can be installed without network connection with this media, for offline installation scenarios. The media contains all necessary packages. It consists of directories with module repositories which need to be added manually as needed. RMT (Repository Mirroring Tool) and SUSE Manager provide additional options for disconnected or managed installation. Please also note that we have replaced the word "DVD" by "Media" for the ISO names. * Maven: as a Technical Preview. Version 3.6.2 has been added. Changes to our SLE Pre-Releases Today's challenges are common to every developer, you need to "release early, release often", but also make sure you have the best feedback loop and collaboration with your users. So we are excited to present you our response to these challenges with our new way of providing SUSE Linux Enterprise Pre-Release! The SLE 15 SP2 schedule introduces some significant changes to the former SLE schedule that you might be used to. In the past, like for SLE 15 SP1 Public Beta Program, all testers (Internal, Technology Partners, Public) were receiving the same images with the same cadence, about 2-3 weeks. However for Internal and Partners, the 2-3 weeks cadence of official and fully tested images, from our internal automated and manual QA, was too long. And providing around 7-8 pre-releases to our Public beta testers, was also difficult for some to cope with. Thus as part of the examination of the new challenges we took three major decisions: * Increase the cadence of internal milestones to our developers and Technology Partners, Bring more flexibility into the testing schedules of our developers and Technology Partners. * Reduce number of Public Pre-Release images to 3, Only one Beta, one Release Candidate and one Gold Master Candidate will be available on download.suse.com. * Provide more updates through our Beta Online Channels, Changes in the weekly internal milestones will be provided to the Public as updates through our SLE 15 SP2 Beta Online Channels. We hope this approach will address the needs of our different beta stakeholders. The "hardcore" testers get more frequent images to test and validate, our Public testers get fewer ISOs to install but still get frequent updates from our Engineering. Of course, we are highly interested by your feedback and experience to make any adaptations or changes in the future. Contact us at beta-programs at lists.suse.com!

You have a lot of outdated stuff installed, like SuSEfirewall2. They are no longer provided and supported by SUSE, but there are newer versions in the PackageHub. There is no way around for you then to manual clean up and decide: 1. stay with the old version from SUSE. 2. go with the new PackageHub (openSUSE) version (*but without support from us*) 3. Cleanup your system before and switch to the new supported solutions, like migrate from SuSEfirewall2 to firewalld. There is no way for an automated updated, as this are decissions which an algorithm cannot make. It's always a very good idea to run "zypper pa --orphaned" to get a list of orphaned packages and clean this list up before you do a migration.

Took a breakpoint and then gave it to Install to create SLES15 SP-2 Beta. It did go well but there were still over 100 requests to "vendor change". This time I did do it by hand, but having to do this for 40 machines a few times during the next months is not going to happen. "migrate" has a grand option --allow-vendor-change and I'm sure the wise people of SUSE could get the same option running for the "Update" function. I have put in my half day to show it's working, now over to a young person to do their bit ;o) All my basic Adabas application check passed, it's looking like SLES15 is going to fly in 2020.
