[opensuse-factory] Yast software install search option fails in M3
by Jogchum Reitsma 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Today I updated my M3 (which I had already installed) trough Yast (get overview of installed sw, then update everything that has a new version (I use the Dutch language, so I don' t have the exact English commands here). It updated Yast also, I seem to remember. Now Yast crashes when I enter a search phrase, and press Enter, or the " Search" button. When started from the command line, I get YaST got signal 11 at YCP file PackagesUI.ycp:280 /sbin/yast2: regel 427: 19493 Segmentatiefout $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS The search string has to be non-empty to rise this crash. Something for a bug report, or something I can do about it? System is 3.3.0-2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 24 00:11:53 UTC 2012 (7e9dd21) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux yast is 2.22.6-1.3 regards, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Declined request
by Ilya Chernykh 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi! I submitted this request to KDE:Release:Factory : https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/114732 The only change it makes is changing the dependecy on kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd soft to make KDE4 installable along with the package kdebase3-ksysguardd needed for KDE3. But the request was rejected by Will with the following comment: === kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd should be used by KDE 3 too. It is maintained, backwards-compatible with KDE 3 clients and does not have any external dependencies. Due to a packaging error, ksysguard is currently in the kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd package but I will get this removed now. === But this is NOT true! KDE3 is not compatible with KDE4's ksysguardd, and the process table in system monitor is not displayed properly when KDE4's ksysguardd is running. At the same time, both KDE4 and KDE3 work well with KDE3's ksysguardd. Now Will said that he will remove kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd package and hard-code ksysguardd into kdebase4-workspace. This will make impossible to normally use KDE3's process table (system monitor) when KDE4 is installed. I invite Will and others to discuss this issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Regression in cmake 2.8.8 (fix available)
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a DimStar 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi all, While analyzing a package failure (libproxy-plugins) i came across a regression in cmake, which was recently upgraded to 2.8.8 Teh regression is tracked upstream at http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13125&nbn=6 It basically comes down to PKG_CONFIG_FOUND not being set to TRUE, which is used by some packages to verify if they can go ahead and use pkg-config... As this fails, for example, libproxy-plugins fails to build anything that relies on pkg-config to be found. Would be great if somebody could backport the fix into our cmake package.

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: [opensuse-packaging] update in obexd package
by Mariusz Fik 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi, what do You think about changing a phonebook backend in obexd-server package? It seems all (or almost) distributions provide it with ical backend. Are we going to do the same? ---------- Treść przekazywanej wiadomości ---------- Temat: [opensuse-packaging] update in obexd package Data: niedziela, 15 kwietnia 2012, 23:28:54 Od: Saulo Moraes <saulo(a)gmx.com> Do: opensuse-packaging(a)opensuse.org Hi, I would like to suggest an update in obexd package from Factory. In Opensuse this package is compiled to generate obexd-client and obexd-server, the server is generated with option "--with-phonebook=ebook" which requires some evolution-data-server dependencies (Gnome stuff) this is not good for KDE, XFCE and others non-Gnome users... So cheking the obexd source code I found that it can be compiled with option "--with-phonebook=dummy" that requires just libical and it dont require any specific env. dependencies and is the same paramenter that Debian and Ubuntu uses (http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/obexd-server). For Fedora 18 package seems that they will not even provide obexd-server just obexd-client as their .spec have "--disable-server". My proposal is to change the package to use "--with-phonebook=dummy" instead of "--with-phonebook=ebook" and if ebook is really necessary for somebody then we can create 2 packages: obexd-server -> default obexd-server-ebook -> specific users thanks Saulo A.

[opensuse-factory] Introducing the Freight Train
by Jos Poortvliet 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hey all! As SUSE is gearing up for SLE 12, SUSE is doing more in openSUSE. Features like systemd and grub2 are examples and more will follow. That is good for openSUSE, but it can also lead to conflicts. Most of our engineers are involved in other upstream projects and know the drill of working with communities, but even then there's a risk that all this 'tramples' a bit over what we've been doing in openSUSE. That's called the 'Freight Train' effect, see [1] for a bit more background. We'd of course like to do what we can to smoothen this out and discussed this a bit with the openSUSE Boosters and some other people. One result was that we decided to set up a special mail address with a number of people where community members who get bitten by the freight train can yell at. Obviously the goal is to then investigate and do something about it. We try to have a small number of people on there, preferably including SUSE- ians from Nuremberg and Prague so they can approach people directly when needed and talk/hug/beat some sense in them and/or coach/guide. The team aims to help with TECHNICAL issues. Merge requests being ignored, patches rejected. It's not about solving bugs, helping users with questions, or doing something about personal conflics. There are other places for those! Right now, the team consists of AJ, Henne and myself - we'd like a SUSE volunteer from Prague. If anyone else is willing to step up, that's good too. Note that we look for technical people who know many community members and have some social and coaching skills. Some people might think there is or will be no problem - the mail address won't get much issues to solve so we can kill it off soon enough. We're fine with that! It might also get unrelated or other issues, which we'll try to relay those to the board, sysadmins or opensuse-project.

[opensuse-factory] New Milestone - same problems
by Stephan Kulow 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hi, We won't be able to finish Milestone4 in time either ;( And it doesn't look like a problem with gcc, but the installation is hosed - and libreoffice is uninstallable. Two problems we need to fix IMO before we can release. So let's hope the best for next week. But as tuesday is a public holiday in almost all of the world and monday is a vacation time for many, we need really good luck :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Delta upgrade for DVD 12.1 86-64 to 12.2 version
by Basil Chupin 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

I am about to collect the new bits for a 64-bit system I am building and am therefore thinking of downloading the 86_64 DVD of 12.1 (which will take me some 10 hours to download). My question is: will there be a *delta* upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2 available when 12.2 will be released? This was the case some versions back of oS but will this occur for 12.1>12.2?
