[opensuse-factory] Status: Milestone 2
by Stephan Kulow 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi, KDE crashes Xorg when used in kvm or virtualbox, but I don't consider it grave enough to delay Milestone, so I would like to release this week. The Xorg crash does not hit on real hardware I have available and GNOME and *X*DE do not have this problem (we assume it's related to KDE windows effects on unaccelerated hardware).

[opensuse-factory] Replacing ancient packages with current packages
by Felix Miata 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

What's the designated procedure to get this to happen? Isn't keeping packages at latest versions in Factory supposed to be automatic? 11.3 was released with mc 4.6.2 long after 4.7.0.4 was released, many iterations past the 4.6.2 that Factory still has, while as of today mc stable is at 4.7.0.9 and mc devel is at 4.7.4. FWIW, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=571503 probably depends on some considerably newer mc version. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-factory] ADOL-C
by Kshitij Kulshreshtha 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hello, I am currently maintaining the library ADOL-C hosted at [1], and would like to see it included in the next openSUSE distribution. The library enables a user to write C/C++ programs (or any other language that can link with C/C++) for evaluating first and higher order derivatives of scalar and vector valued functions at very little additional cost (small constant factor) than the function evaluations themselves, even for high dimensional functions. The library implements the theory of Algorithmic Differentiation as described in [2]. We distribute the library optionally under the GPLv2 or the CPL. The library has been used and tested in recent years by a number of people who are interested in numerical modelling and optimisation, and has been included in the Debian distribution for some time [3]. I have prepared a package in the openSUSE Build Service and submitted it to the devel:libraries:c_c++ project. Please consider including it into openSUSE:Factory. Thanks and regards.

[opensuse-factory] New groff-1.20.1 for Factory
by Michal Vyskocil 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi all, I prepared the new version of groff-1.20.1 for Factory to upgrade from ancient and not supported 1.18.1.1. Because the biggest reason for having this old version was a big debian patch adds the Japanese support, it blocked all updates. But this version of groff has the support of those encodings included using new prepocessor preconv, which replaces non-ascii characters byt unicode sequences, which nroff now can handle. That means iconv hack is no longer required. Packages are available on http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mvyskocil:/branches:/M17N/ The bug report tracking the update is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633128 Please use it if you will find any problem. If someone will be able to retest the Japanese, Chinese and other Asian languages support with a new groff, it will be great. Thanks Michal Vyskocil

[opensuse-factory] How to get R-base into Factory?
by Detlef Steuer 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi all! yesterday I received a request to put R-base (the statistics package) into Factory. Another package named Cantor seems to depend on R in Factory. I'm willing to put R into Factory and keep it current and running in there. But: I was totally unaware of "Factory" as something different from building against opensuse:Factory what I do all the time. I read the available documents but a few questions remain: Do I need a _new_, additional repository for R-base? It lives in devel:languages:R and its subprojects now. Or can I just use that and send osc submitrequests after someone (who?) accepts R-base into Factory. One problem I see with R-base is the release schedule. Is there any problem in releasing the latest R as I do now? Normally we have releases around Oct 16th and April 16th. At the moment I am providing the latest R to all Suse-releases on which it compiles. I understand the reasoning behind keeping the version number fixed following a release, but I would expect that happens more or less through freezing for GM and all other developement untouched? Is this correct? What to do now? My plan regarding R-base would be to wait till R-2.12.0 is released (Oct 16th) and afterwards put some effort to clean up the build process (there are some warnings etc ...) and at the same time get it into Factory. Can you give any advise from your side what is easiest (and best) to get it into Factory? Detlef -- Neu: GMX De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief!
