[New: openFATE 312547] No more auto log-in as default

Feature added by: Kim Leyendecker (openLHAG) Feature #312547, revision 1 Title: No more auto log-in as default openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the installer of openSUSE 11.4 (and I guess also in 11.3, 11.2 and 11.1) the toolbox "log in with this user automaticly" or something like this is choosen as default. That means, if you just click on "next" during installation, you will auto log in with your user, when you start your system. This happens without any password-check. This might be good for people who just want to work with their PC and donÂ´t think about the system. But itÂ´s a big security risk. Think of you got personal files on your harddrive, and your user is logged-in automaticly. Now, other people can easy get access to your /home dir. They just need to start your PC. So, please, disable this by default! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To drop a potential security lack To care about the userÂ´s security -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312547

[New: openFATE 312546] Add ntfs to /etc/filesystems

Feature added by: Christian Wansart (Ctwx) Feature #312546, revision 1 Title: Add ntfs to /etc/filesystems openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christian Wansart (ctwx) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi there, since I still have a ntfs partition to easily share files between Windows and Linux, I had problems mounting the ntfs partition through Dolphin. First I had to add "ntfs" to /etc/filesystems to make it work with Dolphin. However, for me, it is no problem to add this line. But I have a few colleagues with now run openSUSE as well, who have no desire to manually change config files. However, they had to, to get their ntfs partition, in their case an external hard drive, running. I'd really prefer if this line could be added to the /etc/filesystems file. Thank you. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312546

[New: openFATE 309308] spectool in buildservice?
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 Jun '11

Feature added by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Feature #309308, revision 1 Title: spectool in buildservice? Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Xu (bravoall1552) Description: I'm marking this as important because it really is. As you know, we can put URLs in spec files. The tool spectool can parse spec files and automatically download the Sources and Patches into the desired directories. So why don't we just integrate this into OBS? it's easier than just uploading one by one or using osc. Not only that, everytime the spec file is changes, any sources that have been deleted can be deleted by obs after a period (probably 3 days) and any new sources can be retrieved immediately! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309308

[New: openFATE 310925] Increase of the appliance's hard drive size

Feature added by: Gregor Dschung (chkpnt) Feature #310925, revision 1 Title: Increase of the appliance's hard drive size Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Gregor Dschung (chkpnt) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The appliance's hard drive is too small. There is only less than 200MB free space left. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I wanted update my appliance with "zypper patch", because "zypper lp" listed several security related patches. But the command wasn't successfull, because the root partition went out of space. I wasn't able to resize the partition with VMware vSphare, so I had to exchange the appliance's vmdk-Image. This means, every configuration done in /srv/www/obs is lost and needs to be reconfigured (like LDAP settings, etc.). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310925

[New: openFATE 311355] add LDFLAGS=-fuse-linker-plugin to %configure
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 24 Jun '11

Feature added by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Feature #311355, revision 1 Title: add LDFLAGS=-fuse-linker-plugin to %configure Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSuSE uses GCC as the compiler of choice. The compiler uses a link editor to build executable objects; the default link editor is called collect2 and collect2 uses ld to perform the final link. However, the GCC suite distributes another linker called gold. Gold replaces collect2. It is enabled by telling gcc to -fuse-linker-plugin; this is not the default. The default settings for the GNU build system on openSuSE are provided in an RPM macro called %configure. My suggestion is to add LDFLAGS=-fuse-linker-plugin to this macro. Test Case: == ImageMagick == Try to build ImageMagick using the specification file from the upstream tarball (version 6.6.7-7). The packager fails because the PERL extension Magick.so contains an RPATH declaration. == Qt == Try to build Qt from source in a KDE session with 1 GB physical RAM. The traditional link editor never halts because it does not have enough RAM. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: === RPATH === The traditional link editor ld adds an RPATH header in ELF executeable objects. Such objects are considered a security threat by the tool brp-rpath and binary packages containing them fail to build. The header is injected when the object is linked against a shared library that is not placed in a standard operating system directory; this may happen during a package build when a library and a dependent executable are built together and a library is located by means of the environment variable $LD_RUN_PATH. The gold link editor does not have this problem because it is unaffected by the value of $LD_RUN_PATH. == EFFICIENCY == The gold link editor performs better and requires less system resources than the traditional link editor ld. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311355
