[opensuse-factory] factory kernel source and image versions don't match
by Toni Harbaugh-Blackford 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Folks- The source kernel rpm for factory is http://download.opensuse.org/source/factory/repo/oss/suse/src/kernel-source… while the default image for x86-64 is http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/kernel-default-2.… The image version is newer than the source. Where can I get kernel-source-2.6.27.10-2.7.src.rpm, to match the factory image?

[opensuse-factory] was multiversion support in zypp.conf ever added to 11.0?
by Felix Miata 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

It's really annoying to have zypper up remove working kernels and initrds before replacements have been tested positive, particularly since networking is broken absent a post-2.6.25 kernel. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."

[opensuse-factory] How to reduce boot time by 10 seconds
by Marcel Hilzinger 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

I read the threads about boot performance effort an preload settings and wanted to do some tests by my own. So I just startet to disable the automatically startet services one by one via YaST, here the results (Phenom II System with Intel SSD, boot time measured from Grub to XDM (XFCE-System) Default OpenSuse 11.1: 25 seconds with crond, auditd and sshd disabled: 15 seconds So 10 seconds only by disabling crond, auditd and sshd at boot time. No preload experiments no other changes. Usually you want auditd at boot time, so maybe this is not a good idea to disable it, but it might be a good starting point for improvement. Also sshd does not have to be started at boot time, as it's blocked by the firewall anyway, so you can just leave ssh away and tell users to enable it, if they need it. (I hate Ubuntu for doing so, but an average user does not need sshd anyway). Crond is probably not needed during boot process neighter, so there just has to be a solution to start it later, after X. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG, Putzbrunner Str. 71, 81739 München, Germany Tel: +49 89 99 34 110, Fax: +49 89 99 34 1199 mhilzinger(a)linuxnewmedia.de - http://www.linuxnewmedia.de ---------------------------------------------------------- Linux New Media, the Pulse of Open Source: Lawrence, KS - Málaga Manchester - München - São Paulo - Timisoara - Warszawa ---------------------------------------------------------- Sitz der Gesellschaft: Putzbrunner Str. 71, 81739 München Amtsgericht München: HRB 129161 Vorstand: Rosemarie Schuster, Hermann Plank Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Rudolf Strobl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] status distribution
by Stephan Kulow 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

Hi, We have quite some issues currently: - the NET isos are currently broken due to a new format of modules.dep (bnc#475850). - we're currently looking at the fallouts from a possible gcc 4.4 update - we switched from an early lzma-utils snapshot used for 11.0 to the official xz-4.999.8 beta - which will very likely cause a small change in the compression format breaking deltas. Due to this I wanted to make this step early as a 11.1->11.2a1 deltas is usually less interesting than an a1->a2 delta - we merged kernel 2.6.29-rc5, which will most likely create some suprises - Qt 4.5 broke the KDE desktop in a couple of subtle ways - I dropped most of KDE3 desktop and we're still sorting out what to do with packages that depend on more advanced features of the desktop (we stay with kde3 libraries and runtime environment, but some packages rely e.g. on kdvi or on kscd) On the good news: - I pushed preload 1.0, which should show some improvements over the old preload - we merged 2.6.29-rc5, which brings ext4 as !dev to openSUSE - we saw tons of GNOME 2.25.X updates - we reduced the build failures from last week dramatically (that was before the kernel merge though :) And of course we have tons of version updates within Factory, but that are simply too many for me to list them. See opensuse-commits ml for details. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] libgcc 4.4 in factory
by Dominique Leuenberger 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

good morning, This morning I get updates that would replace libgcc 4.3 with libgcc 4.4. The same goes for libstdc++44 Does this now mean we're going faster to gcc 4.4 as default than it was announced before or is this just an unintentional glitch?

A huge upgrade for PPC arrived today. Indeed, stage is broken. And the reason is this: # now staged. poeml, Wed Jan 28 04:07:55 CET 2009 Peter, I called publish_factory. I hope I didn't broke something. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] The frustration of updating
by Robert Kaiser 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, After a few weeks of staying with one state of the Factory system, I decided to update to a current state once again a few hours ago. This requires about 5 GB of download and a few hours to run, so it's not something I'm doing lightly and often. And once again, as so often, YaST started to spit out errors right in the middle of the process telling me the Factory repo doesn't contain some of the packages it wanted to install - probably it's been updated underneath my install and the packages had been replaced with newer versions. I canceled and tried again and then I ran into the same problem with the KDE4 Desktop OBS repo halfway in the install. Can't we have some system that doesn't frustrate you by pulling out files you need right while you're installing them? Couldn't OBS keep files, say, 12-24h after they have been removed from the repo index? This is frustrating enough that I'm only updating this system very rarely nowadays, and I think updating often and testing newer stuff is actually what Factory should be about. The problems I should deal with (if any at all) are ones that arise due to new code, not due to the repo info not matching the available files at the time I'm actually trying to install them. Is there any solution for this? Robert Kaiser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] stunnel in Build Service
by Andreas Vetter 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, as some of you might have noticed - I didn't :-( - stunnel was dropped from openSUSE between 11.0 and 11.1. I don't think it's a good idea, because it is widely used (at least here) to securely connect remote services that don't support SSL or TLS. So I am left with the OBS version of stunnel: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/Stunnel/ Since there is no bug owner defined in OBS, I'll write the problems here: 1. The directory /var/lib/stunnel/var/run is not created. It should be writable for the stunnel user. 2. stunnel starts 5 childs on rcstunnel start. On stunnel stop only the parent is stopped, but not the child processes. I think this is solved in stunnel-4.26 upstream, if I interpret the changelog correctly. What would be the correct way to file a bug against the OBS version of stunnel? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik Tel: +49 (0)931 31-85890 Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Fax: +49 (0)931 888-5508 Universitaet Wuerzburg iuk(a)physik.uni-wuerzburg.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] mysql sysconfig
by Michal Hrusecky 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, I've been thinking and MySQL uses MYSQLD_MULTI in /etc/sysconfig/mysql to determine whether user wants to start several instances of MySQL. If it is set to yes, init script starts mysql daemon for every mysqldN section in /etc/my.cnf As some users find it confusing to have /etc/my.cnf and /etc/sysconfig/mysql at the same time, I propose to drop /etc/sysconfig/mysql. It should be possible to check in init script whether user has several daemons configured and act accordingly. So we can get rid of the other configuration file and depend only on one configuration file. Only question is if anybody else then mysql need this sysconfig file... Does anybody think that we should preserve this sysconfig file? Do you know about anything else what needs this sysconfig variable? -- Michal Hrusecky Package Maintainer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o e-mail: mhrusecky(a)suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
