I was just notified by the ftp admin of gwdg.de (Eberhard), the long time reliable mirror of openSUSE, that he is going to stop the cronjobs at ftp4 which generate the /pub/linux/suse/apt/ contents at ftp4.gwdg.de, and shortly there after the rsync runs which sync it to ftp3 and ftp5 will be disabled.
I would like to thank Eberhard for the reliable service and all the hard work that was performed to generate the apt repositories during all those years!
I start maintaining yast2-repair and first bug which I start solving is that repair from DVD menu doesn’t work same as from installation menu. Find where is problem and also test if fix is correct is not trivial. I describe below how to modify inst-sys on DVD or software on LiveCD.
I’m happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.1 beta3 packages are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project. They include many upstream and Go-oo fixes.
The packages are beta versions and might include even serious bugs. Therefore they are not intended for data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data before an use, …
We kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs. We are especially interested into the testing of SMB access and file locking.
Please, look for more details about the openSUSE OOo build on the wiki page.
Other information and plans:
I would like to provide beta4 build the following week. It should finally include the OOXML export filters and might be the last betat before the first release candidate. I expect the final release by the end of April. We will be slightly delayed after the upstream release.
We have released a new version of Web-YaST with following changes:
The newest packages can be found here:

Or

I’m almost as sick of this Conficker stuff as I am going to be sick of April Fools Day stuff when I wake up tomorrow (not to mention I think this is a big promotional stunt for a movie called ‘Conficker’ coming out soon. You watch!), but I have to laugh when I see all these mainstream news organizations falling all over themselves to tell people how to get rid of this malware. In reality, all you have to tell your friends and family is to use one product that will protect them from Conficker and future viruses:
No joke. Happy April Fools Day, I guess.
We (Thomas Göttlicher, J. Daniel Schmidt and Arvin Schnell) have use all our
remaining ITO for this really cool feature.
Normally compiz (more precisely the cube module) shows each desktop on the
surface of a cuboid. Since we don’t have several desktops during installation
we decided to show the “wizard” steps on the cuboid. Pressing “Next” or “Back”
rotates the cuboid around the y-axis:
Entering a “subwizard” rotates the cuboid around the x-axis:
Fortunately most computers are fast enough to render the 3D-scene even without
special hardware support that we lack during installation.
Will be available in Factory within the next weeks. Comments are welcome.

Other information and plans:
I would like to provide beta3 build the following week. The integration of the OOXML export filters is a bit delayed and should be in beta4 (two weeks from now). It might delay the OOo-3.1 release by two or three weeks. Well, the upstream release is delayed as well.
I wanted to make these announces better readable and moved the general information to the wiki page. I hope that it was a good step. I am interesting into your voting and comments 😉
