[opensuse-factory] New devel-project: Pyrit
by Lukas Lueg 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hi, I'm the author of Pyrit (http://code.google.com/p/pyrit) which I'd like to see a package for in the openSUSE factory repository. As I am the main author and maintainer of the upstream project, I can't take care of maintaining a package in every distribution myself; therefor I'm looking for a maintainer. Pyrit integrates technologies like CUDA, Padlock, OpenCL, CAL and AES-NI with Python and shows some very heavy iron works using this language, easily pushing several hundret gigabytes of data per second around the block. A short description of Pyrit, taken from the main page at https://code.google.com/p/pyrit/ Pyrit allows to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the IEEE 802.11 WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. Exploiting the computational power of Many-Core- and other platforms through ATI-Stream, Nvidia CUDA, OpenCL and VIA Padlock, it is currently by far the most powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols. Pyrit is free software - free as in freedom. Everyone can inspect, copy or modify it and share derived work under the GNU General Public License v3+. It compiles and executes on a wide variety of platforms including FreeBSD, MacOS X and Linux as operation-system and x86-, alpha-, arm-, hppa-, mips-, powerpc-, s390 and sparc-processors. Pyrit is already in the official package repositories for Debian 6, upcoming Ubuntu 11, Arch Linux, Pentoo and Backtrack 4. The main package builds from source - to my best knowledge - without any warnings or errors on any major Linux or BSD distribution and produces - again to my best knowledge - no errors or warnings from rpmlint or other QA-tool. The latest version 0.4.0 has no patches in Debian 6 that are not custom to the distribution itself. To ease deployment for FOSS-distributions, the parts working with CUDA, OpenCL or ATI-Stream are put into seperate, optional modules. The main module builds and runs without proprietary build tools, SSE2- and VIA-Padlock support are detected at runtime (therefor compatible down to i386). Maybe someone is interested?

[opensuse-factory] download stat
by Peter Czanik 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello, Is there any download statistics available for the build service? I'd be very interested to know, how many people downloaded (if at all) from my home project at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Aczanik%3Asyslog-ng33 and which openSUSE version did they use.

[opensuse-factory] Status: distribution
by Stephan Kulow 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi, We finally managed to make the legal review steps transparent. So if you submit a package now to factory, a "legal-auto" group is asked to review it - this is done by a script of Jürgen, which checks if the package was reviewed before. If not, a "legal-team" group is asked to review. So the requests no longer appear to be ignored. In future we plan to do the same with some check-auto and check-manual to review build status and basic checks as soon as possible. Greetings, Stephan P.S. Right now we can't publish new builds as kiwi requires a package that does not exist ;( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Two new packages looking for devel projects
by Atri Bhattacharya 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi! I have started looking at providing packages for several of the more useful packages and libraries for numeric computation [1]. This would hopefully fill a slight void that openSUSE still has with many of the libraries, packages and applications for advanced scientific computation not easily available/installable (this is strictly my opinion ;) ). The eventual goal is to also push some of these packages to Factory. To this end, I have packaged two c++ based libraries for fast numeric computation, namely armadillo [2] and blitz [3]. A little description about the packages:- Armadillo: 1. is in active development (last release was today!) 2. is licensed as LGPLv3+ 3. intended target audience is scientists and engineers Blitz: 1. Though still in active development (last CVS checkin on 2011-03-04), it's last official release was in 2005. 2. packaged version is licensed as GPLv2 (CVS snapshot version has moved to LGPLv3) 3. again, the intended target is scientists and engineers As far as I know there are no security issues with either of these packages. Both packages are in my home project at present [4], and I have tested them to build and work. I would be very grateful if someone could let me know what the right devel project these two packages could be pushed to. I am thinking devel:libraries:c_c++ but I am not sure. Thanks -- Atri [1] http://www.oonumerics.org/oon/ [2] http://arma.sourceforge.net/ [3] http://www.oonumerics.org/blitz/ [4] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abadshah400 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New policy proposal for Factory: Make source of tar balls trackable
by Adrian Schröter 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi, I like to propose a new policy for Factory regarding our package source handling with the goal that our package sources are upgradable, modifyable and trustable by any other developer. Please find my proposal here: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2011/03/21/policy-proposal-for-factory-make-sou… And please drop some comments as reply to this mail :) thanks adrian -- 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] Tumbleweed for 11.3 is now closed
by Greg KH 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi, As the repos for 11.4 are now open for syncing from, I've disabled the tumbleweed repo, and am redoing it for 11.4 at this moment. So I recommend disabling your tumbleweed repo, updating to 11.4, and then waiting until later today when the tumbleweed repo has been synced up to 11.4 packages. I'll do an announcement when that happens as well. 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 libevent going to hit Factory soon
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

(X-Post to Factory and Packaging to hopefully reach all the interested parties) Hi, I just prepared an update for libevent [1] from version 1.4.14b to 2.0.10. This is a major step in the development of libevent and is considered API and ABI incompatible. Whereas ABI is surely true (at least a rebuild against the new lib is requireed), there has been some effort by the upstream maintainers to keep a good bunch of the deprecated API around, even though it is highly discouraged to be used (after all, it IS deprecated). I made a test run against the package sin Factory which I found to link against libevent (those being, as an exhaustive list: autofs, libmemcached, memcached, nfs-utils, ntop, php5, tmux, transmission). To check for eminent issues. Out of this list, only transmission failed to build, which in turn already has a new upstream version taking care of that (but no longer being compatible with the 'old' API). All the others built just fine, making me assume that they already did take care of the new API in one way or the other (they certainly did have the time: alpha releases of libevent2 have been around since 2009-04-17, having the stable release in Dec 2010). Nevertheless, It is well possible that I missed a package or two that would be depending on libevent, and surely there are more packages in OBS relying on it, which have not been tested. Should your package fail to build, then an advised starting point to read up would be [2]. It can be as easy as just #including the old deprecated headers (*_compat) or, even better, move to the new API (the _compat headers all list why the API is 'bad' and what to use in place). In the hopes we all won't have too much to suffer out of this switch, let's enjoy the sun! Best regards, Dominique [1] http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ [2] http://levent.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=levent/levent;a=blob;f=w…

[opensuse-factory] syslog-ng 3.3 packages for testing
by Peter Czanik 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello, As co-maintainer of syslog-ng for openSUSE, I started preparations for the syslog-ng 3.3 release. This is due to a major change in syslog-ng: it is becoming multi-threaded, bringing a performance boost to an already fast application. While I and many others use it on production machines, be aware, that this is still an alpha release. Packages are available for openSUSE 11.3, 11.4 and Factory. If you have a chance, please try it and share your experiences! For details, please check http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2011/03/syslog-ng-3-3-alpha2-packages-for-o… Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Networkmanager & dhcp ipv6 not working
by Bruno Friedmann 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi All, I need a confirmation before certainly filling a bug. On a network with a working dhcpd6 server, if I use traditionnal method, my computer receive the reserved ipv6 and ipv4. Once I put control by Networkmanager, I only get ipv4 mainly because only dhclient is launched and no dhclient6 /sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-4c7af0a1-442c-4b75-ab52-e92d32e2e50f-eth0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf eth0 Has anybody the ability to test that on his side, and report back if works or fails.
