Is there a reason there's no SuSE 7.2 rpms?

    Hello,

    I'm just wondering why there's not any RPMs for SuSE 7.2 and if there's any plans to release them?

    Also, why isn't the src.rpm availible for download anymore? It would sure be nice to have it.

      no matter how many distros we do someone always complains :) - yea, you could tell SuSE to expedite the copy of 7.2 they are supposed to be sending us because they are taking their sweet time about it for some reason.

      the source rpm should have shown up by now, check again.  the directory says aethera-2.0 for whatever reason.

        The 7.1 RPM works on 7.2 -- there shouldn't be any archictural changes from 7.1 to 7.2 -- it's just a bunch of upgraded packages (X4.1, KDE2.1.2, crypto filesystem, etc)

        Good luck!

      Well, I belive that's a little incorrect, there are a few minor FS tweaks to maintain FHS compliance.

      None the less, the 7.1 RPM does indeed work on on 7.1 :-)

      Shawn - I'd be more then willing to burn you CDs of 7.2 and mail them to your company, free of charge, if that would help you any -- just drop me a line with your mailing address.

      Note that it's legal to give copies of SuSE to you friends, contrary to popular belief --  mail me if you want more info.
