[openFate 305727] rpmbuild build should warn about possibly by mistake %excluded files
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Feature added by: Stephan Binner (Beineri) Feature #305727, revision 1, last change by Title: rpmbuild build should warn about possibly by mistake %excluded files openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If one works with %exclude macros in %files sections, esp with several sub-packages and wildcards in the %exclude statements, then it can easily happen that files installed to the RPM_BUILD_ROOT do not get packaged into a package at all. This case happens currently completely silent. rpmbuild should warn when an installed file gets only referenced by an %exclude statement but nowhere else. An option might be to make this warning a build error and to have a policy to allow installed files to be excluded from packages by well visible "rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/foo" calls within the .spec only. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305727

[openFate 305721] Desktop should survive a dbus restart

24 Jun '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305721, revision 1, last change by Title: Desktop should survive a dbus restart openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Many applications have issues when dbus is restarted. It seems people want this to be possible, see for example https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439616 This is more than just a bug, and covers many packages, so I'm opening this feature to track this. On the GNOME side, the mandatory part are probably gdm and gnome-session, in order to not have the current sessions closed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305721

Feature added by: Vincent Steenhoute (civ75) Feature #305683, revision 1, last change by Title: Add web browser for SUSE Installation openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Steenhoute (civ75) Interested: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: While installing SUSE with the classic installation CD/DVD, add a web browser. Somes peoples don't use LiveCD and prefer Install DVD, giving them possibility to browse internet while all the package are installed would be a must. I guess Webkit will fit nicely with the QT UI of our installation. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305683

Feature added by: Lukas Ocilka <locilka(a)novell.com> Feature #305146, revision 1, last change by Title: Use old system network configuration when updating instead of demanding a new one openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Pacho Ramos <pacho(a)condmat1.ciencias.uniovi.es> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently, when I try to update from opensuse 10.3 to 11.0 with DVD and I want to add network repositories, I have to configure again my network for opensuse installer even when it is already configured on my opensuse-10.3 I think that would be much better try to use network configuration from old installation and only ask user if a problem occurs Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: System update from media: Start installation / Update, select network-based repositories to be used, you will be asked to configure the network. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305146

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305735, revision 1, last change by Title: Correctly detect keyboard model on laptops openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The default configuration of X always gives you a keyboard using the microsoftpro model. However, on laptops, it'd be better to actually use the model of this laptop -- it's certainly possible to have a script to detect this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305735

by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 May '09

Feature added by: Lukas Ocilka <locilka(a)novell.com> Feature #305272, revision 1, last change by Title: Definition in the Yast2 samba server module for "workgroup" host openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Andreas van dem Helge <andrew(a)joako.net> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Add a definition in the samba server module for "workgroup" host. I.E. in a SOHO it isn't always necessary to setup a true "domain" server, however if there were a set of options for things like "LMB" aka "local master browser" and a quick set of clicks to join a "Workgrp" as a client. this tutorial highlights the amount of script editing that could be avoided if the samba server were more "workgroup" friendly http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtolanprimer.html#samba (http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtolanprimer.html#samba) References: Originally reported as BNC #420766 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=420766) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305272

by fate_noreply＠suse.de 16 Apr '09

Feature added by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #305772, revision 1, last change by Title: Move to hal-cups-utils instead of cups-autoconfig openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We're the only one using cups-autoconfig and everybody else is using hal-cups-utils, so it's probably working a bit better. And switching to it means lower maintenance on our side. Packages are ready for testing in home:vuntz:factory-playground -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305772
