[opensuse-factory] Are there plans for changing the default browser?

Dear all! Like my feature request here: https://features.opensuse.org/312585 I want to ask you, f there some plans to change the default browser. The background of that is, that Mozilla, and the new model of development, could be a factor of more work for our packagers and testers. Switching to another browser by default could be more easy to us, because Firefox could be a potential breaker for the next releases (I remember, that there where several add-ons which didin´t worked with FF 4 and now doesn´t for with FF 5 too. Maybe a change from Firefox to Iceweasel could be the solution. From my point of view, Mozilla is doing a lot wrong from the release of Firefox 4.0 till today and this could destroy the goal, to deliver a *stable* release. Firefox isn´t that bad at all, but I think the new release policy from Mozilla just slam down the distributor´s plans. Mozilla tries to take over the Linux development model and is doing a capital mistake: *On Linux, new releases are coming every 3 months, but the old are still supported *On Firefox, the FF 4.x line ends right now after the release of 5.0 This makes it more difficult for the packagers to deliver a *recent* _and_ *supported* distribution. Maybe a change could be the right way here, but maybe it´s just my personal feeling!?

IT doesn't mention that part in the getting started guide -- just the bit about the account and login which I already have... I get back a '404' error... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Package categorization
by Ilya Chernykh 01 Jul '11

Hi! I first discussed this issue with coolo in private but possible a wider range of ideas may be beneficial. All of us know that is is sometimes confusing to find a package which belongs to your desktop environment, whether Gnome or KDE. Sometimes you have to look into package's dependencies to find out whether it is written in GTK or Qt. As the number of desktops increases, the problem only becomes worser. Currently the packages are classifies using the RPM groups. But for the most packages this groupping only reflects the package's purpose, i.e. network, game or office. This groupping is organized as a tree, and there is no possibility to add another categorization. An obvious solution is to add a desktop environment name to the package's name such as prefixing all KDE apps with "kde-" or simple "k". But this is also confusing and may require much of work as renaming is not an easy task. So are there any ideas on how to organize this better? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
