openSUSE Build Service 1.7 RC 1

We are happy to announce that we have reached a state which can be considered as final version of 1.7.0. No more changes, except for the version number are planned until 1.7.0 final release next week.

We fixed a number of issues since beta 3, especially:

• references to static.opensuse.org got removed
• initial Kiwi 4.1 support
• attribute handling fixes
• various runtime error exceptions
• patchinfo handling

The release is available as version 1.6.99 in the openSUSE:Tools:Unstable project for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise platforms.

The OBS-Appliances needed larger changes, due to the fact that we had to switch the used kiwi version to the original version from openSUSE 11.2. Nevertheless they look good right now. New are the OBS Worker images to run just workers, without the server itself.
