[opensuse-project] bad news: download.opensuse.org lost its filesystem
by Stephan Kulow 02 May '12

Hi, We face at the moment a rather critical problem - in download.opensuse.org's RAID 2 discs died at the same time, which means we can't restore the filesystem at all. Most stuff is copied somewhere else, but restoring it from scratch can take easily a day - we're talking about several TB. For now I redirect download.o.o to widehat.opensuse.org, which won't be able to hold the load for long - but it's better than spitting errors.

[opensuse-project] Has openSUSE as a project approached Valve re the possible upcoming Steam for Linux?
by C 02 May '12

Steam for Linux has been floated a few times starting int 2010. A few days ago Phoronix posted some information about how far Valve has come with producing a Steam client for Linux, including showing a port of Left for Dead 2 running natively on Ubuntu. Today I spotted this: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/04/canonical-in-touch-with-valve-to-ensure.… and this made me wonder... are we (as a project) also approaching Valve in some official capacity to ensure that this Steam for Linux client works "perfectly" on openSUSE too? Gamers are a huge driver in the adoption of technology, and a market segment we can't really afford to ignore. If this Steam for Linux client is released and is dependent on some library that is built only for Ubuntu, or is only released in DEB package format... well, we WILL be left behind in the rush.

[opensuse-project] Permission denied to access the KDE 4.8.2 respository on widehat
by Basil Chupin 01 May '12

01 May '12

I started last night to ugrade KDE to 4.8.2 and after about a dozen or so files were downloaded suddenly the download rate dropped - so I stopped the transfers (I was using zypper). This morning (now, ie) I get the message that I don't have permission to access this repository on widehat. If all the other repos are being redirected, why is this repo being denied access? Anyone know? Thank you. BC -- The wise man does at once what a fool does finally.
