by Lars Müller 19 Mar '12

Hi, how do we remove a package from the openSUSE:Dropped project? exim is listed there by accident I guess. By calling osc rdelete openSUSE:Dropped exim I'm getting the to be expected Server returned an error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden no permission to delete package exim in project openSUSE:Dropped Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

[opensuse-factory] Update udev to version 181
by Robert Milasan 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hello, I've updated udev to version 181 and officially or non-officially I'm the new maintainer of udev with Petr Uzel as co-maintainer. Here are some important changes: - version 181 - boot.udev: root_symlink_rule now creates the rule 10-root-symlink.rules in /run/udev/rules.d and a link to /dev/.udev (for the good old times). - require kmod version 5. - keymap: Add Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2732 - ata_id: fix identify string fixup - ata_id: whitespace fixes - keymap: Fix touchpad toggle button on Lenovo Ideapad * version 180: - Bugfixes. * version 179: - Bugfixes. * version 178: - RUN+="socket:.." option is deprecated and should not be used. * version 177: - Bugfixes. * version 176: - 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete device nodes anymore. - writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now. - there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev. - modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. - udev links directly to libblkid now. - 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'. * version 175: - Bugfixes. * version 174: - udev daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd. (we moved it back: move-udevd-and-udevadm-back-to-sbin.patch) - long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed. - 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the RUN{fail_event_on_error} attribute was removed. - udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control. I would like ask you guys, if possible, to test the new version and let me know if there are any issues or problems with the new package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] GCC 4.7: Status Overview
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi Factory list, A lot has happened in the last days on the GCC 4.7 fixup. Thanks to the tireless efforts of several contributos (yes! I was not left alone! Thank you all for helping) we already have a large bunch of packages fixed to build with GCC 4.7 Most (but not all!) of this went through my home repo, which just helped to coordinate the efforts and to ensure that not any package is fixed twice (well, that was theory...). On the other hand, this allows us to have some statistics as well: I branched a total of 251 packages (all packages failing build in openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc47). Some packages (sorry, no count here) did not need any action, as they were updated in the devel project and as such the branching of them to my home repo showed that no further work was needed (boost, libwebkit and others) A total of 66 SRs were done from home:dimstar:gcc47 to the various devel projects, of which so far 31 have been accepted. Some were 'superseded' (4), and 25 are pending to be accepted or declined in their devel projects. All in all it feels like not too many things are breaking in difficult ways with Gcc 4.7, but still, we're not there yet. I for example did not yet fix Firefox and xulrunner :P The yast side is a bit trickier: I added a patch to yast2-core but there is something terrible wrong, as this causes the test suite to fail. and this even though the patch looks simple enough. Most of the other yast modules fail as a consequence to -core (note: version 2.22.4 from last week built fine with my patch, but 2.22.5 not anymore). So: don't be shy! Grab one of the still failing packages in home:dimstar:gcc47, try to fix it up and submit it (either to home:dimstar:gcc47 or directly to its devel project). If you identify that the failure is not due to GCC 4.7 (there is a bunch of > 150 packages failing in openSUSE:Factory too after all), then you don't have to stop there of course and can still go ahead and fix the package :P (admittedly, I did not do that and concentrated on pure gcc caused failures these days). So? Anybody? Best regards, Dominique / DimStar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard - garbage
by Sid Boyce 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

One warning on the Asus Sabertooth 990 FX motherboard, it seems the BIOS only supports Windows. With an Asus Motherboard and an Asus 560 Ti video card it's detected as a radeon monochrome caard so it will not work with a radeon nor an nvidia driver. Only the vesa driver works. I did quite a moan about in in the Customer Support Survey the sent me. Whether that will do any good is anyone's guess. They probably can hire only one dimensional developers these days. The reply from their support was to run Windows on it and report any problem. I told them I don't run Windows ... no further response other than I got a second Customer Support Survey request today.

So given the uncertain status of the release of 12.2 milestone 2 would it be the right thing to install milestone 1 if I want to contribute to testing?

[opensuse-factory] sysconfig dns-resolver script
by Tom Parker 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hi All How would I go about submitting a patch for the netconfig dns-resolver script that is part of the sysconfig package. I have added the ability to include options values to /etc/resolv.conf from the /etc/sysconfig/network/config file ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # List of DNS options to be written to /etc/resolv.conf # Format is option:value # NETCONFIG_DNS_OPTIONS="rotate timeout:1 attempts:2" This lets anyone have persistent resolver options set that are not overwritten by netconfig. Thanks Tom Parker

[opensuse-factory] Milestone #2
by Basil Chupin 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

A piece of advice - but your mileage may vary. This morning, as usual, I went to do "zypper refresh/up" on my Milestone #1 installation. This showed that there were (for me) 1190 upgrades to the tune of 890MB. Ah! I thought, Milestone #2 is what this is about. I went ahead with the upgrade. This totally stuffed my MS#1 installation and it is now unusable - it defaults to the (?init 3) root login, and I am unable to compile the nVidia driver. Doing "zypper dup" did not help. My MS #1 is a stock standard one which uses the official repos (except for Mozilla and packman). I suggest that "you" wait until (?) Monday when MS #2 is officially made available.
