<br>
Today we (openSUSE Xfce Team) introduced a new and simpler way to use<br>
Xfce Git master builds by using qcow2 images for KVM & XEN , we created<br>
with the use of Open Build Service (OBS), Kiwi and Virtualization<br>
combined.<br>
<br>
The build process is based on our Git development repo aka RAT.<br>
Package building and image building are fully automated and updates<br>
happen on a regular basis. The final results are qcow2 disk images with<br>
Xfce's latest code on top of openSUSE's rolling release Tumbleweed[2][3].<br>
<br>
Currently there are two sets of qcow2 images for KVM & Xen:<br>
a) The openSUSE version provides the default experience Tumbleweed and<br>
Leap users are familiar with, which includes all the openSUSE branding,<br>
look & feel and settings.<br>
<br>
b) More relevant for Xfce devs, is the "vanilla" disk image that ships<br>
Xfce completely unmodified from Git sources and without any openSUSE<br>
settings and visual tweaks. This gives Xfce devs (and testers alike)<br>
who want to build and test software inside a complete Xfce environment,<br>
a convenient way to do so.<br>
<br>
Downloads:<br>
openSUSE version:<br>
<a href="https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce:/rat:/images/images/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce:/rat:/images/images/</a><br>
<br>
Upstream version:<br>
<a href="https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce:/rat:/images:/upstream/images/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce:/rat:/images:/upstream/images/</a><br>
<br>
Usage:<br>
We suggest using virt-manager and the simplified steps are:<br>
1. Download either of the qcow2 images linked above<br>
2. Import the downloaded qcow2 image in virt-manager<br>
3. Boot the imported image and follow the "first-time boot" wizard<br>
until the setup is complete 4. Have a lot of fun!<br>
<br>
You can find more detailed information and guide on how to use these<br>
images in the dedicated wiki page at<br>

<br>
I hope you find this project useful and feel free to contact me for more<br>
details.<br>

Cheers,<br>
