openSUSE Leap 42.3 Linux Distro Up to RC State, Final Release Lands End of July

openSUSE Project's Douglas DeMaio is today informing Softpedia about the promotion of the upcoming openSUSE Leap 42.3 operating system to the Release Candidate (RC) state.

According to the roadmap, openSUSE Leap 42.3 was supposed to enter Release Candidate phase today, June 6, 2017, and the latest snapshot that will soon be released for public testing appears to equate to the RC version. But it looks like there's little interest from the community for testing the upcoming openSUSE Leap 42.3 operating system, possibly because of the new rolling development process.

"So far I have not seen too many 42.3 bugs," said Leap Release Manager Ludwig Nussel in his talk at the openSUSE Conference. "I don’t think we are bug-free, so I think it just is not tested enough." Nussel also said that openSUSE Leap 42.3 is developed in parallel with the SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 operating system so that both can benefit from same bug reports, according to today's
