[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed package submissions
by Atri Bhattacharya 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi! I would like to submit packages TeXmaker [1] and TeXworks [2] for consideration for inclusion in Tumbleweed. Both of these are LaTeX editor front-ends all of whose dependencies are satisfied by packages from the oss repository (for openSUSE 11.4). New versions of both these applications have come out since 11.4 was released and I have packaged these updates already. I will be grateful for comments, suggestions, etc. Thanks -- Atri [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=texmaker&project=Publishing [2] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=texworks&project=Publishing -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

The tab is also inactive when it's set to use preset proxy environment variables. I have it set to connect to the Internet directly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: When I ran openSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.5, It always showed the date last used. Now, it shows "Never" instead of the date last used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm going to submit a Bugzilla report.

[opensuse-factory] Call for testers: Wicd for 11.4 and Factory
by R. Tyler Croy 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hello all! As some of you may be aware, with the jump to Python 2.7 with openSUSE 11.4, some packages such as Wicd <http://wicd.sf.net> have been broken. I've been working on a new package for Wicd which takes some of the latest changes from their (mostly stable) Launchpad tree and packages them for 11.4 and Factory: <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=wicd&project=home%3Aagentde…> Currently you should consider this package INSECURE as it has not passed a proper security audit by the SUSE Security Team (Wicd uses D-Bus). Nevertheless, I would appreciate additional testing from any existing Wicd users out there. - R.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE won't upgrade successfully from 11.3 to 11.4
by Ralf Lang 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

I just verified on two distinct installations that zypper dup from 11.3 to 11.4 will fail and break the package system by removing liblzma. This might be a major pita when 11.4 is announced and the average guy does an upgrade. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677678 -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant & Developer Tel.: +49 170 638 1563 Mail: lang(a)b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Re: Coping with the recent Boost update

* Cristian Rodríguez (crrodriguez(a)opensuse.org) [20110317 20:52]: > Does it also provide some sort of symbol versioning or rather the SONAME > of the library has been bumped up ? Most parts of boost are header-only so there's no problem. And those parts that need compiled libraries have the full version number in their SONAMES i.e. each version is binary incompatible. So there can be no breaking binaries. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

It doesn't look like there is an 11.4 option for "operating system" in bugzilla currently. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Drop update-alternatives support from Sun Java and openjdk
by Michal Vyskocil 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi all, I'm considering drop of update-alternatives [1] support from our Java packages - mainly java-1_6_0-openjdk and java-1_6_0-sun (the gcj will follow, but no one is really interesting on it). I assume there is no real use case to have more than one implementation installed these days and in fact this system produces confusions for users wanting replace openjdk's plugin implementation by Sun's one (that's the ony one reason for switch I'd to say). The proposed change is to * drop u-a --install calls from %post/%preun scripts * install all files are now handled by alternatives system to /usr/bin * add Conflicts: otherproviders(jre) and so to all subpackages I'm also sure this change should be backported to released openSUSE versions, but don't want to decide on my own. We can be more conservative here, even if I don't think we need to be. So my questions are * Do you want drop u-a support from Java packages (sun, openjdk) from Factory? * Do you want backport such change to released openSUSE (anyone from maintenance(a)o.o here?)

[opensuse-factory] Coping with the recent Boost update
by Philipp Thomas 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Boost 1.46.0 was checked into factory not long ago (and will get an update to 1.46.1 in the next days). The main change that wasn't mentioned in the changes and thus escaped me was that beginning with 1.46.0 boost::filesystem will switch its default API from v2 to v3 (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm). This will cause packages that use boost::filesystem and that don't support v3 to fail. There are three possible ways to fix the breakage: 1) Adapt the code to work with v3 2) Adapt the code to work with v2 or v3 3) Let the code use the v2 API. The last one is the easiest but the v2 API will go with 1.48. The changes in the API are described in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/deprecated.html.

Hello all, I'm trying to understand the new settings for Network Card Set Up when setting up "On Cable Connection" and using Ifplugd priority numbers. If I set wlan0 to 1 and eth0 to 0.
