Currently the sage build farm only has openSUSE 11.1 builds available. However, openSUSE 11.2 came out almost a year ago and openSUSE 11.3 came out several months ago. With fixes now being implemented for Sage 4.6, (see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9530), Sage will build successfully on openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3 for the first time.
Now it is being announced that support for openSUSE 11.1 is being discontinued entirely on December 31st (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2010-10/msg00008.html). This means no new updates for openSUSE 11.1 will be provided and all downloads for openSUSE 11.1 will be removed from openSUSE servers. This will leave Sage without binaries for any supported version of openSUSE. Further, it is a security risk to Sage having a distribution running on their build farm that does not receive security updates. For this reason I think openSUSE 11.2 and/or 11.3 should be added to the build farm prior to the release of sage 4.6. openSUSE 11.1 can then be removed from the build farm then or wait when it reaches end-of-life. I think it is worthwhile doing this now to provide some buffer in case of any problems. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
