[opensuse-factory] control.xml info
by houghi 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Is there any info availble on control.xml? I have found many references to the file, but not one explaining anythiong about the file. Changing the file sometimes can be obvious, like removing a module or changing a 'yes' into a 'no' or 'true' into 'false. Other things are less obvious what the alternatives might be: <ui_mode>simple</ui_mode> and there is no way of knowing if there are things that are not included in the file that could be. -- houghi Please to not toppost http://houghi.org My experience with SUSE You can have my keyboard ... if you can pry it from my dead, cold, stiff fingers --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] SPAM: makeSUSEdvd error
by James Li 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

hi: I used makeSUSEdvd to combine the 5cds to one dvd. But it show No catalog found at 'cd:///?devices%3d%2fdev%2fhdb'. . Error: No proposal when selecting software. I followed the former archive in this maillist to modify content* ,media.1/product* and gpg*.asc , but it shows that there is a installkey.gpg file in boot/i386/loader/initrd which prevents installation program to trust the modified content and media.1/product file. I replaced the installkey.gpg by /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg, and rebuild initrd & dvd, but it failed when load boot/i386/boot ( I used ftp installation)

For some software (e.g. acroread or fortune) I am 'confonted' with a popup warning me about it. How is this achieved?

[opensuse-factory] Idea for SuSEfirewall2

The YaST firewall module can make use of that > information instead. Currently the information about ports is > hardcoded in /usr/share/YaST2/modules/SuSEFirewallServices.ycp Hi, I like the proposal, that's almost exactly what I wanted to do. Additionally, using an XML format for storing this kind of information is even better than I planned. The only thing, I doubt, is the translation of <summary/> and <description/> but there definitely must be a way to do that somehow. Also the /path/ for storing these XML files has to be consulted with some LSB guru to follow the LSB standards (if such rule exists). Well, having these services well-defined by packages themselves seems to be a good idea, on the other hand too many defined services might make the UI almost unusable :) Lukas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] 10.2 feature freeze
by Andreas Hanke 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi, in the transcripts of various status meetings there are items about explaining what a "Feature Freeze" is, but so far I've been unable to find the most obvious information: When is the feature freeze for 10.2? I'd like to see some packages (e.g. wxWidgets) updated for 10.2 - is that still possible? Are such things handled in Bugzilla or do the package maintainers take care of it themselves?
