[opensuse-factory] KDE menus and gitorious
by Cristian Morales Vega 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

I created a merge request for desktop-data three weeks ago. It's just a minor patch that doesn't really fix anything but a warning from kbuildsycoca4. I'm not sure about how Gitorious works, maintainers are supposed to notice the "1" in the merge requests section or they receive an email notifying it? And since I'm on it. Since I updated my 11.3 system to KDE to 4.5 the "inline" part of the menu is not honored... Expected behavior? Known problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Kernel for 11.4?
by Jeff Mahoney 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - Since technically we're in feature freeze for 11.4, I thought I'd put this out for discussion. Factory is currently using 2.6.36 which was released 3 weeks ago. Upstream versions tend to take about 10-11 weeks, on average, to release. The scheduled release for the first openSUSE RC is Jan 20. The scheduled release for the first RC is Jan 20. The typical development time for a kernel release, on average, is about 10-11 weeks. That puts the release of 2.6.37 around Dec 29 to Jan 12. That sounds like kind of a tight window, but the reality is that the differences in the later kernel RCs tend to be small and fix bugs. The "real" development happens in -rc1, which was released about two weeks ago. Later -rcs serve to stabilize the development that went into -rc1. So, the the feature freeze aspect of it will be a one-shot, when I update to -rc1. (Actually, I hardly ever update to -rc1 and instead use - -rc2 which tends to be more stable). I've already done the merge work for 2.6.37-rc1 since the master kernel always tracks the latest upstream. Xen is the lone exception, as it usually is, but Jan Beulich has been great about getting that completed shortly after I do the update. This time might be a little more difficult because much of the Xen code has been merged into the mainline kernel so there's some sorting out to be done. As far as testing goes, we're still early enough that we won't lose a lot of effort. I'd update Factory to 2.6.37-rc2 as soon as it is released upstream, which should be this week. Our usual corps of dedicated testers can dig in quickly. In my experience, though, the number of testers drastically increases around the RC1 release. I wish it weren't so, but it is. So revving the kernel now isn't likely to toss out a lot of testing. The biggest "feature" I'm going for is not having to backport fixes from 2.6.37. The BKL removal patches and the VFS scalability patches are going to improve performance on multicore systems. The removal of I/O barriers should also be pretty noticeable but I haven't had time to verify that yet. So, opinions? - -Jeff Features that are going into 2.6.37: - - The inode portion of the VFS scalability patches - - More BKL removal, including parts of the core kernel - - Block I/O can be throttled via cgroups - - Simple pNFS support - - In-kernel PPTP (tunneling) acceleration - - "Lazy" inode table creation for ext4 to allow faster fs creation - - Batched discard support, which allows the file system to advise the block layer to use the TRIM command. This allows online TRIMs, but is only implemented in ext4 so far. - - Xen dom0 support (mostly) - - The usual round of bug fixes. - - fanotify - - Block barriers have been removed[1] Drivers: - - Systems and processors: - Flexibility Connect boards - Telechips TCC ARM926-based systems - Telechips TCC8000-SDK development kits - Vista Silicon Visstrim_m10 i.MX27-based boards - LaCie d2 Network v2 NAS boards - Qualcomm MSM8x60 RUMI3 emulators - Qualcomm MSM8x60 SURF eval boards - Eukrea CPUIMX51SD modules - Freescale MPC8308 P1M boards - APM APM821xx evaluation boards - Ito SH-2007 reference boards - IBM "SMI-free" realtime BIOS's - MityDSP-L138 and MityDSP-1808 systems - OMAP3 Logic 3530 LV SOM boards - OMAP3 IGEP modules - taskit Stamp9G20 CPU modules - aESOP Samsung S5PV210-based Torbreck boards - - Block: - Chelsio T4 iSCSI offload engines - Cypress Astoria USB SD host controllers - Marvell PXA168/PXA910/MMP2 SD host controllers - ST Microelectronics Flexible Static Memory Controllers - - Input: - Roccat Pyra gaming mice - UC-Logic WP4030U, WP5540U and WP8060U tablets - several varieties of Waltop tablets - OMAP4 keyboard controllers - NXP Semiconductor LPC32XX touchscreen controllers - Hanwang Art Master III tablets - ST-Ericsson Nomadik SKE keyboards - ROHM BU21013 touch panel controllers - TI TNETV107X touchscreens - - Miscellaneous: - Freescale eSPI controllers - Topcliff platform controllher hub devices - OMAP AES crypto accelerators - NXP PCA9541 I2C master selectors - Intel Clarksboro memory controller hubs - OMAP 2-4 onboard serial ports - GPIO-controlled fans - Linear Technology LTC4261 Negative Voltage Hot Swap Controller I2C interfaces - TI BQ20Z75 gas gauge ICs - OMAP TWL4030 BCI chargers - ROHM ROHM BH1770GLC and OSRAM SFH7770 combined ALS and proximity sensors - Avago APDS990X combined ALS and proximity sensors - Intersil ISL29020 ambient light sensors - Medfield Avago APDS9802 ALS sensor modules - Basic, memory-mapped GPIO controllers - Intel Topcliff GPIO controllers - Intel Moorestown/Medfield i2c controllers - IDT CPS Gen.2 SRIO RapidIO switches - Freescale i.MX DMA engines - ARM PrimeCell PL080 or PL081 DMA engines - Cypress West Bridge Astoria controllers - USB ENE card readers - Asahi Kasei AK8975 3-axis magnetometers - OLPC XO display controller devices - Analog Devices AD799x analog/digital converters - Winbond/Nuvoton W83795G/ADG hardware monitoring chips - Flarion OFDM usb and pcmcia modems - Maxim MAX8952 and MAX8998 Power Management ICs - National Semiconductors LP3972 PMIC regulators - Broadcom BCM63xx hardware watchdogs - - Network: - Brocade 1010/1020 10Gb Ethernet cards - Conexant CX82310 USB ethernet ports - Atheros AR9170 "otus" 802.11n USB devices - Topcliff PCH Gigabit Ethernet controllers - Intel Topcliff platform controller hub CAN interfaces - Technologic Systems TS-CAN1 PC104 peripheral boards - SBE wanPMC-2T3E3 interfaces - RealTek RTL8712U (RTL8192SU) Wireless LAN NICs (replaces older rtl8712 driver) - Atheros AR6003 wireless interface controllers - Beeceem USB Wimax adapters - Broadcom bcm43xx wireless chipsets - - Sound: - Marvell 88pm860x codecs - TI WL1273 FM radio codecs - HP iPAQ RX1950 audio devices - Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 audio devices - Aztech Sound Galaxy AZT1605 and AZT2316 ISA sound cards - Wolfson Micro WM8985 and WM8962 codecs - Wolfson Micro WM8804 S/PDIF transceivers - Samsung S/PDIF controllers - Cirrus Logic EP93xx AC97 controllers - Intel MID SST DSP devices - - USB: Intel Langwell USB OTG transceivers - YUREX "leg shake" sensors - USB-attached SCSI devices - - Video4Linux2: remotes using the RC-5 (streamzap) protocol - Konica chipset-based cameras - Sharp IX2505V silicon tuners - LME2510 DM04/QQBOX USB DVB-S boxes - Samsung s5h1432 demodulators - Several new Conexant cx23417-based boards - Nuvoton w836x7hg consumer infrared transceivers - OmniVision OV6650 sensors - OMAP1 camera interfaces - Siliconfile SR030PC30 VGA cameras - Sony imx074 sensors - VIA integrated chipset camera controllers - -Jeff [1] This is because they were a very big hammer that had a reputation for killing performance.

[opensuse-factory] IPV6 privacy in openSUSE
by Andreas Jaeger 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I wonder whether our IPv6 settings are the right ones after reading the following article (sorry, German only): http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/IPv6-Smartphones-gefaehrden-Privatsp… which references: http://www.heise.de/netze/hotline/IPv6-anonym-1100727.html We set use_tempaddr to 0 by default (disabling privacy extensions) and set it to 1 if enabled. The article advises to use 2. Background: By default (value 0) my IPv6 address will be derived from my hardware (macaddr) and therefore be the same independend how I connect to the internet. So, it's easy to track my computer... So, my proposal is to do the following two changes: * Use 2 instead of 1 in /etc/rc.d/boot.ipconfig for enabling the privacy extensions * Set IPV6_PRIVACY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl Any concerns with this change? Btw. here's an Ubuntu bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/176125 and Windows (since XP) is doing it the same way on desktops.

[opensuse-factory] GCC 4.6 for 12.1
by Jeff Mahoney 05 May '11

05 May '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all - I know someone else mentioned this briefly WRT to Tumbleweed, but I'd like to bring up for discussion the adoption of gcc 4.6 for Factory. A bit of background. We currently maintain a kernel-trace flavor to allow people to make use of the tracing facilities. Historically, there has been overhead associated with these, which is why they were in their own flavor. Most users don't care about them, so there's no sense in slowing everyone down to satisfy them. Over time, the maintainers of these facilities have worked to lower the overhead to the point where now dynamic ftrace only adds memory overhead. It uses gcc's profiling facility to call out to a function at the beginning of every function call to allow tracking. At boot, this is a function that returns immediately but during the boot process those calls are hot-patched to nop operations so that they carry virtually zero runtime overhead. This sounds great, right? There's one last bit, and that is actually the reason why ftrace is still disabled in our regular kernel flavors. The compiler's profiling feature calls the profiling function after the function prologue. That means that the stack pointer has already been advanced and since it can advance a different amount based on the needs of each function, we don't have an easy way to get the caller's stack frame back. It's needed to resolve where the caller was called from and the only way to do that is to dedicate a register to track the start of the current stack frame. Dedicating a register for this increases register contention and forces more accesses to CPU cache or main memory, slowing everything down. So, it's not worth it when most users will never actually take advantage of the feature that requires it. For some time, I've been trying to come up with ways to work around this so that the fast path stays fast and the tracing path takes any performance hit necessary. Until recently, the performance hit would've been too big to make it worthwhile. With gcc 4.6, we have the -mfentry option which moves the call to the profiling function *before* the function's prologue. This means that the caller's stack frame is still intact and we can resolve the caller's parent without issue. I've spent the past few days working up a proof of concept that takes advantage of this and doesn't require a dedicated register. It turns out that Steven Rostedt has already posted a patch set to do exactly this and he's targeting 2.6.40 for inclusion in the mainline kernel. For now it looks like it's x86-64 only but it should be ok for i386 as well. This would go a long way to eliminate the -trace flavor from our kernel packages. The benefits are multiple: It eliminates the maintenance of another kernel flavor, but it also allows everyone to use tracing facilities without installing a separate kernel release to do so. One last bit is needed, though, and that is for gcc to allow using -pg - -mfentry with -fomit-frame-pointers. Once that bit is taken care of then we can rid the kernel of the frame pointer requirement for ftrace and eliminate the -trace flavor entirely. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk263RwACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JhyQCfXcCcDjH0dYmnoguTCe+7J2FH YWkAn3+K1qintX3acivGSmUYCDVnDuqi =3BMz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] How to push GNOME 3 to Factory?
by Vincent Untz 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi, Today, hopefully, we'll finish the review of GNOME 3 packages for G:F. There's some integration work to do and patches to rebase (we filed bugs for all of those), but I believe none of this should block a push to Factory. If the testing of G:F goes well this week, I'd like to do the push at the end of the week. I'd like to hear what people think is best to deal with this push, as it will be a big push, that needs to be handled with some care: + some package have really a lot of changes, and it's painful to review that (which is partly why it took so much time to review the changes) + there are some new packages we can't submit before the push because they will cause issues in Factory (eg, providing a library that exist in another package in Factory) + there are some new packages that are just the 2.x/3.x branches of existing packages (gtkmm2 vs gtkmm3, for example) + we probably will need a rebuild of everything since it'll be hard to push/accept packages in the best order in terms of build dependencies + if we need to freeze Factory soon (for a milestone, eg), we can't have half of the packages accepted and the other half rejected Do you have any opinion on what's best? Should we just push everything as usual, or do you want us to take some extra care in some way?

[opensuse-factory] pngtoico
by Matthias Bach 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Hi, As part of the Contrib-Repository Cleanup I would like to include the package pngtoico into Factory. As the name suggests it is used to transform an icon from the PNG to the ICO format. It has been around since 2002, so one can safely say it's well tested, the last update happend in 2006. There is no real upstream project, though. The code can be retrieved from http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/graphics/pngtoico/ and is simple enough that, if ever an issue comes up, it should be fixable by the maintainer, aka. me. Als the original author is known it should also be possible to merge such a fix upstream. Users are developers, web or code, that still need to support applications that make use of the ICO format, e.g. when porting from windows. The license of the package is GPL 2 or later.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed status for the week of April 9, 2011
by Greg KH 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Here's a short note as to the status of some recent activity in the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo: - the kernel is at the 2.6.38 release level - a number of multimedia packages and libraries were updated to their Factory level - Banshee 2 is now in the repository - LibreOffice 3.3.2 is in the repository. - I'm considering adding GNOME:3.0 to openSUSE:Tumbleweed when the openSUSE GNOME developers release it. It's building in a test repository right now pretty successfully, but it might be a few more weeks until it seems "ready" enough. Note, it seems that when _any_ package is added or updated in the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repository, LibreOffice rebuilds itself. This can be annoying for those on bandwidth-challenged network connections, and seems to be due to the dependency chain that the LibreOffice developers have defined in their .spec files. Hopefully this will be resolved for the next major release, but in the meantime, I'll try to limit library updates in openSUSE:Tumbleweed to once a week at the most unless security issues require it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] new osc release 0.131
by Adrian Schröter 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

A new osc release is out. Beside the usual stack of bugfixes, this version comes with a larger number of functionality for our upcomming OBS 2.3 release. The request and especially the review handling of requests has been improved, what should help esp. people who work on openSUSE:Factory packages. Also a number of new commands for our upcomming maintenance features have been added. These will get explained in more details in our OBS book. This release is only available via openSUSE:Tools project for now, we will roll out an official update for all distributions during OBS 2.3 beta phase. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tools/ Detailed Release Notes: ======================= - new command 'develproject' to print the devel project from the package meta. - add blt and rblt commands, aka "buildlogtail" and "remotebuildlogtail" to show just the end of a build log (for getting the fail reason faster). CHANGE: the --start parameter is now called --offset - add "createrequest -a add_group" option to create a group request - add "createrequest -a add_me" shortcut - add "less" command, doing the same as "osc cat" but with pager - fallback to unexpanded diff mode on "osc diff" on merge error. - support viewing the commit history of deleted packages - show review states on "review list" - new source service commands "localrun" and "disabledrun" to generate files without _service: prefix - add "request supersede" and "review supersede" to supersede with existing request - make it possible to run single source services, even when not specified in _service file. (For example for doing a version update without creating a _service file: osc service lr update_source) - protect rebuild and abortbuild commands with required "--all" option to mass failures by accident (similar to wipebinaries) - "review accept/decline" is trying to change all reviews of a requests, if a specific one is not specified by user # # Features which requires OBS 2.3 # - "my requests" is doing faster and complete server side lookup now if available - "review" command has been extended to handle reviews by project or by package maintainers - support for new source service modes: disabled, trylocal and localonly - support project wide source services - support for armv7hl architecuture. used to denote armv7 + hardfloat binaries - add force option to accept requests in review state. - add "maintenancerequest" command to request a maintenance incident from maintenance team - add "releaserequest" command run a maintenance update release process (for maintenance team only) - allow to force the storage of project meta data (to ignore depending repositories for example) - "my requests" is showing requests with open reviews also now -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] RPM 4.9.0 and needed changes in spec files
by Cristian Morales Vega 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Since I got no answer in -packaging (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2011-03/msg00050.html) trying here. What's the plan for RPM in openSUSE 12.1? RPM 4.9.0 was released nearly two month ago and Factory still uses 4.8, I would rather prefer to start adapting the spec files now than later. I suppose Vincent continues modifying spec files with his new macros, it would be ugly to say him all the work needs to be undone at the last moment. The first step would be informing packagers of any new rules. Looking at the release notes I see two important points: * "Dependency generators are now pluggable. Arbitrary number of dependency types is supported, new types can be added through a drop-in directory and file classification is now done with a combination of path and libmagic-type include/exclude regular expressions (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)" How they exactly work? Something should be changed about %wx_requires? * "EXPERIMENTAL support for package "collections" which are sort of like named triggers that only run once within a transaction. This can be used for example to avoid redundant calls for cache updates etc. (XXX add link to documentation once it exists)" Experimental? Should we use this instead of multiple calls to gtk-update-icon-cache? It's expected that openSUSE 12.1 will use a newer RPM where collections are no longer experimental? And this would be nice: * "Short-circuiting binary builds is now allowed by rpmbuild for developer convenience while testing. Short-circuited packages are tainted with an unsatisfiable dependency to limit their use for the intended testing-only purpose." How? Is this possible through "osc build"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed status for the week of April 22, 2011
by Greg KH 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Here's a short note as to the status of some recent activity in the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo: - new kernel updates tracking the upstream stable 2.6.38 releases. - lxde (and its sub-packages) was added - calibre was added - other smaller packages were added - KDE update seems stable and working. It's in the openSUSE:Tumbleweed:KDE repo if anyone wants to test it out now. I'll be working next few weeks to merge this into the main openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo as my bandwidth allows. - There is a GNOME 3.0 Tumbleweed repo at openSUSE:Tumbleweed:GNOME. It's properly building right now, but the same caveats remain for the main GNOME 3.0 repo (i.e. network manager issues with KDE, and other minor stuff), so I can't merge it to the main openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo just yet. I'll wait for these changes to settle down, but if you want, feel free to try out the repo for your GNOME 3.0 systems running Tumbleweed. I'll keep it up to date as the changes merge into the main GNOME 3.0 repo. - artwork questions were raised with one proposed logo already sent in. More to come in this area hopefully soon. - There were a few "version downgrades" that happened as the upstream project release number was changed to reflect the basesystem release number correctly. This will probably continue to happen as this change is propagated throughout the openSUSE build system to fix up these errors by the various developers. You can safely ignore them when they happen. As always, if anyone knows of any packages they wish to see added to Tumbleweed, please let me know. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Radeon Gallium Driver ?
by Vincent Lejeune 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi, Opensuse still use classic Mesa driver for hardware acceleration on radeon driver ; there are actually 2 mesa drivers for radeon, r300 and r600, and both come with 2 version : classic Mesa (r300c and r600c) and Gallium3d Mesa (r300g and r600g). Radeon developpement have switched to the gallium3d drivers in Mesa. r300g is considered as stable, r600g is still considered as "experimental", however my own tests show that it is more stable than r600c (less rendering error in gnome 3/kwin compositor). Besides, both drivers show a +20% performance increase over their classic Mesa counterpart. I tested it on a Zacate APU, it ships with a radeon 6350 gpu ; thus I think that support is ok even for newly released hardware part. Some distributions (like ubuntu) have already switched to r300g, and I think that others might switch soon to r600g. Maybe it would be wise to consider a switch to gallium version of both drivers for next opensuse version too ?

I want to let a trace of tested packages. I wonder if I could use bugzilla for this, for each reporter have to first scan bugzilla, and if there is a test it gives a starting point.

Hi Oprofile package is using latest stable version (0.9.6) which is 2 years old. However this tool is still developed. Stable version misses support from several newer CPU (such as latest AMD processor (family12h, family15h)). Would it be possible to switch to a non-stable version ? I packaged a more recent oprofile using sources provided in CodeAnalyst source, which comes from a oprofile cvs and at a revision that provides support for their latest processors : https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=oprofile&project=home%3Avlj… Besides, the /proc/kernel/nmi_watchdog has moved to /proc/kernel/watchdog with current kernel and this change has not been reflected in opcontrol script.

[opensuse-factory] Very strange download problem.
by Carlos E. R. 21 Apr '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Several people have reported the same problem with downloading updates in 11.4: the download gets stuck on a certain file, with yast or zypper. (I'm reporting here for 11.4 because I need devs to look at this). What they have done: Try zypper, delete repos, add again. Several times. Try wget. Try mozilla. Try different mirror. The result is always that certain files (the same file for each user, but sometimes different files for different users) get stuck, do not download, when they reach some percent. Other files download fine from the same repo servers. It is different private networks (no corporate or campus proxy). Try another machine with windows or ubuntu: it works. Try 11.3 or 11.2, same machine: it works. What? Try 11.4 *failsafe* - it works. What? What? Booting failsafe works? How come? :-O You see how much this is strange?

[opensuse-factory] New icedtea6-1.10.1 / openjdk b22 + icedtea-web-1.0.2 is going to Factory
by Michal Vyskocil 19 Apr '11

Hi all, I've sent a submit requests for new version of java-1_6_0-openjdk and new icedtea-web package. This change follows upstream change, where the Java webstart (JNLP) and plugin implementation were moved to separate upstream project icedtea-web [1][2]. There are several reasons for that * users will know the plugin implementation is not a part of openjdk * ... and will know how to sue if their favourite applet will not work * separated release cycle - no need to rebuild complete JVM due a bug in plugin implementation - hopefully faster development and more releases improving the [1] http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web [2] http://dbhole.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/first-release-of-icedtea-web/ I hope I've fixed all corner cases during a testing, so update will be smooth. If not please drop me a bug. Regards Michal Vyskocil

If so, I can update the wiki page, but it would be nice to get a better repo designator for Tumbleweed than the current one. I believe it's currently: obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed The Evergreen project has it as just Evergreen without the prefix. But a big negative is that it also means packages can be "upgraded" from tumbleweed to a online update without the user being notified that something unusual is happening. In particular, a issue like the virtual-box one where the online update had a larger version number than the one in tumbleweed would cause problems / failures without even asking the user if it was okay. It's not clear to me if the version number conflict issue was resolved or not. If resolved, I like the "zypper up" approach instead of the "zypper dup --from Tumbleweed" approach. ==> details It's been working good for Evergreen as far as I know. (I'm on the Evergreen list.) Based on the Evergreen wiki page, the Tumbleweed wiki page would just get the below update: (Hopefully without the "obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:" part. ====== create a file /etc/zypp/vendors.d/tumbleweed with the following content [main] vendors = obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed,suse,opensuse You can do this from the command line by cutting and pasting the below.

[opensuse-factory] make it just work
by jdd 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hello, This mail is not intended to launch a flame war, but to make proposals. The first goal of any application is to just work as expected. I mean that at least if installed with YaST and launched from kde it should load. I just tested a lot of multimedia applications that don't even load. I also made this week end at least three 11.4 install, *none* worked as expected. Please don't ask why, I didn't do this at home but on other people hardware I don't have at hand anymore, so I can't help (in other situation, I report bugs on bugzilla). But just for example, on one computer the live dvd (official one) don't work, it starts but clear the screen probably at the moment X launch (goes too fast to be sure), and crash - when openSUSE 11.3 runned on the computer and finally 11.4 did install without visible problem (at first glance). On an other computer, I noticed the grub menu was *not* written (error at the grub menu write stage), on an other, windows 7 was not correctly referenced (this is my computer, (hd0,0) had to be used for the sda2 partition! - yet to be reported). I just want to say that we should change a bit the release agenda. It's pretty evident that nobody can use factory seriously before late in the process. It's also obvious from my experience that nobody used some applications (if somebody did, a non starting application should have been noted). So we need at some moment (1 or 2 months before release) to test *all* the included aplications. We should have a web page (or an entire web site, some OBS side site) with a list of applications, and a tick box where everybody can see if the application have been tested or not and by how many people. We need also to have a better integrated workflow with Packman. No bug should be closed as wontfix or invalid because some packman application is involved, as this mean no multimedia app is concerned by bugzilla. sincerely jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pi… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] To the attention of the maintainer of susepaste:
by Nelson Marques 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Dear all, I've gotta say that I am not really the support oriented user of openSUSE, and though I've provided first line support in the past for well known PC Peripherals companies (ex: Logitech and Plextor), being in some cases certified for the job, I would like to point the importance of the susepaste client for those tasks. This is a very nice application that lives in the Contrib repositories and that can benefit a lot if included in openSUSE and in the default patterns for openSUSE. I find weird not see openSUSE Boosters or others trying to push this forward given that it works, it's developed 'in-house' and it can really make life far more easier for everyone. Please make it happen to Factory/default openSUSE Patterns for the next distro! As the community helpers on #suse could benefit a lot from it and it's something they can help to diffuse amongst users. I believe it was important to share this thought.

[opensuse-factory] rfc name for new library package
by Brian K. White 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hello, I've been maintaining and using a .so package of: http://freshmeat.net/projects/jbigkit for some time in a home repo, and recently got it added to graphics: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=jbig-kit&project=graphics Next I want to submit it for inclusion in Factory so that it can then be used to add jbig support to libtiff, hylafax, ghostpdl, ghodtscript, others. Some of these already have jbig support but it's via direct code inclusion. But for example ./configure in current libtiff will automatically find and use the jbig include files and shared lib if the package above is installed. The change to the tiff3 .spec is merely to add jbigkit-devel to buildrequires. I've been doing that in my home repo for a while. However before submitting to Factory I want to see if the package name should be changed so that we're not either stuck with a stupid name forever, or change the name sometime later after it's been in use already. The only reason the package name is "jbigkit" or "JBIG-KIT" is because that's the name of the upstream tar. the only reason the upstream tar is named that is because that's what that is, a kit for demonstrating jbig and devoloping with it. The upstream code is really meant to be included directly within other programs, not packaged as a shared library. But the library itself is just "jbig" or "jbig2" So request for comments, I think I should: * Change the base package name to just jbig or jbig%{major}. * Have only the sample binaries and docs in the base package. * Move the libraries into a libjbig%{major} package Basically just like jpeg https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=jpeg8.spec&package=jpeg8&… And pretty much ignore the fact that the upstream tar is named "jbig-kit". The installed stuff is not a "kit" but a finished product that uses the original kit. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] by what process modules.dep created at new kernel installation?
by Felix Miata 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

I decided for various reasons to un-mothball a P3-700 system with latest installed anything 11.1M2 running some variant of 2.6.27. I used zypper to rm various non-necessities and streamline the dup process to Factory. After the rms I did in the following: rpm zypper libzypp satsolver-tools wget curl hal dbus-1 udev glibc mkinitrd openSUSE-release yast2-bootloader perl-Bootloader and the deps they pulled. Then I did in kernel-default, which failed to create initrd due to inability to find modules.dep for 2.6.38. At the time I didn't recognize what that meant, but since found that was what should have been installed as /lib/modules/2.6.38-4-default/modules.dep. The question is, by what process is modules.dep created? Is it supposed to be a part of the kernel rpm, or is it generated by calling depmod from the rpm installation script, or something else? It would no longer boot off either old kernel or new kernel, so I opened it via chroot to actually do the dup, which managed to install 2.6.38-4-pae with a modules.dep file. Did I catch a bad break by getting a broken 2.6.38-4-default rpm, or was some consequence of the partial upgrade from 11.2M2 to Factory 11.5 the problem, or something else? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: YOU conflict error

All, Is there a simple way security updates can be tested to install cleanly on a Tumbleweed system?

[opensuse-factory] [tumbleweed] no power down from init 0

The oldest system I have with 11.4 or newer is P3 f6 m8 s1 700MHz with PAE on a 440BX chipset (Tyan s1846). 10.2 with 2.6.18 kernel when init 0 from root powers down the system. With the 2.6.37 & 2.6.38 kernels on Tumbleweed & Factory, the init 0 process just stops after sending all processes the KILL signal. Turn off computer from KDM fails similarly. No menu.lst stanzas on any use *apic* or *apm* on cmdline. I don't recall my other systems with 11.4 or newer doing this, but they're all K7 or P4.

[opensuse-factory] Expected usage of Tumbleweed?
by Ken Savage 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi folks, I had added Tumbleweed to my repo list waaaay back in the 11.3 days (can you *remember* those days!!? ;) .... and continued with it when I upgraded to 11.4. And certainly it works: if I zypper dup --from Tumbleweed, the latest shiny TW packages find their way into my system. What I'm wondering about is the discrepancy I see in the list of packages that will be upgraded when I issue a plain "zypper dup" compared to the TW-based list of packages. Fair enough that my Packman and VLC repos might have some newer files than what has managed to be CONFIRMED to be working in TW. But are the openSUSE BuildService repos more cutting edge than TW as well? What about the 11.4 Upgrades repo (/update/11.4) ? I guess my question boils down to this: Having added TW as a repo, are there other repos that I should make sure are deactivated, and from here forward, merely do zypper dup's from the TW repo? What's the generally anticipated usage pattern of a sysadmin who has hooked themselves into Tumbleweed?

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: [opensuse-project] Versionitis - Results (Or: The next openSUSE release is openSUSE 12.1)
by Andreas Jaeger 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

For those that don't read the project mailing list or news.o.o, I'm forwarding what I just send to opensuse-project, Andreas ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [opensuse-project] Versionitis - Results (Or: The next openSUSE release is openSUSE 12.1) Date: Wednesday, April 06, 2011, 10:06:30 From: Andreas Jaeger <aj(a)novell.com> To: opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org The voting on how to do the versioning is over and the "old school" has won by 55 per cent (of 98 participants). Thanks to all that participated in the two votes and the discussion around the topic. As Coolo said in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2011-03/msg00516.html, we'd like to make a small change to the numbering: We will not have a .0 release but only .1, .2, .3 release. Since we have releases in three months, the November release is always the .1 release, the July release the .2 and the March release the .3. So, the plan is that the next release will be called openSUSE 12.1 and launched on the 10th of November, 2011! Two years later - on the 14th of November, 2013 - we will then have the openSUSE 13.1 release. So, the next four releases are: * November 2011: openSUSE 12.1 * July 2012: openSUSE 12.2 * March 2013: openSUSE 12.3 * November 2013: openSUSE 13.1 Detailed results for logged-in openSUSE members are available at the connect poll page and I have reproduced them here as well: * A: "old school": Like currently but only counting the right number until 3: 55% (54 votes) * B: "Fedora style": Just integers: 29 % (28 votes) * C: "Ubuntu style": YY.MM: 16 % (16 votes) This is also consistent with the results of thefirst public voting (see http://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/03/28/opensuse-release-versioning-poll-on- last-three-options/ ). Note that openSUSE does not have a major and minor numbering, even if it seems so. There is right now no difference in any way between what we would do for openSUSE 11.4 or 12.0 or 12.1 – and no sense to speak about openSUSE 11 or openSUSE 11 family. We also had in the past no process on how to name the next release (when to increase which parts of the number). I think this new versioning is still consistent with the old one but also an improvement since it's now clear that we change the first digit every two year. The first poll showed that half of our users prefer a date based versioning and the other a consecutive numbering. So, depending on your point of view, you can see this as a mixture of both or as consecutive numbering ;) So, time now to make openSUSE 12.1 a great release!

[opensuse-factory] Is CodeAnalyst maintained?

I found CodeAnalyst looking at the list of packages that fails to build with 4.6. I had no idea it was in Factory. But looking at it I see it's version 2.8.54 when the latest upstream version is "2_12_3_0126". And the changelog hasn't been updated since January 2010. Changelog with only three entries, from three different packagers. So... is the CodeAnalyst package unmaintained? I can fix the gcc 4.6 problem, perhaps I can update it; but if nobody is maintaining it it should be dropped from Factory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] patch2mail - include package updates by default?
by Christian Boltz 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

Hello, I'm working on patch2mail to allow including of updated packages (not only patches) in the mail listing available updates. Given that kpackagekit in 11.4 by default displays both patches and package updates, I tend to make this the default for patch2mail. What do you think? Makes sense? Objections? The behaviour will be configurable in /etc/sysconfig/patch2mail in the PATCHES_ONLY setting. Note: this change only affects openSUSE > 11.4 as long as you stick to the OSS repo.
