Fwd: [opensuse-factory] mkinitrd or dracut ?
by Marguerite Su 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

+1 for dracut! I knew it and tried it after the release of the well known 2sec boot lizard post, Although it speeds your boot just a little bit mesured by systemd plot, it gave you an illusion that it is roket science because it postpones the start of plymouth and just quickly blank twice before you get a KDM. And I am happy to get rid of mdam,multipath,mdraid from my initd without removing half of yast thanks to dracut's module system. I even wrote a long wiki at zh.opensuse.org/sdb:dracut (I am a little busy these days, so no time to translate it into English) I think one shortcoming of change to dracutb is, it lacks documentation. You never know the meaning of every module. You never know which ones are included by default and which ones are not. So it makes the official tweak methods like adding module or masking module useless.

[opensuse-factory] Complain about conditional used run_permissions macro
by Lars Müller 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, we're using %{?run_permissions:%{run_permissions}} in the post scriptlet of the samba-krb-printing package. While building for opensuse-factory we get this warning [ 1762s] WARNING: run_permissions is obsolete and will be removed january 2013 As we execute %{run_permissions} only if it is defined all looks good from our side. Therefore we consider to simply ignore the warning. But I fear we'll come to the point where the package sources will not get accepted for openSUSE Factory. Our goal is to use the same spec file also for older products like SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 and 11.

And this was the first and last time i was ever gonna use it. So backing up my files is not an option. I think some serious rethinking should be done about what is the aim on opensuse? Create an os that is useless always broken but looks sometimes shiny? Or a system that uses only tools that work, and that are supported? A repair kit that is usable?, or just something that looks like it, but it is not even good enough to wipe your ass with? (difficult with a laptop or pc i agree.. :-D) I think, if opensuse continous, to go on, on this road, the userbase will shrink further. What is the use of an update tool, if the system is broken? First :1) repair the system, 2) support it, and 3) create a working repairkit, so people who test, do not have use their valuable time on re-installing their system. This is the formula for openSUSE 123. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)
