Feature changed by: Antoine Ginies (aginies) Feature #303793, revision 67 Title: Mount /var/run as tmpfs openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) reject date: 2009-07-16 11:42:53 reject reason: Rejected on request of Engineering. Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2010-10-06 16:02:09 reject reason: not done. Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.4: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Kay Sievers (kay_sievers) Technical Contact: Kay Sievers (kay_sievers) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: /var/run should be mounted as tmpfs. This would avoid the cleaning of stale files or sockets on bootup and avoid atime updates of any mounted filesystems. This is required for eg powermanagement, which currently wakes up the system from any idle states for a socket operation. Services must be modified not to depend on a preexisting content in /var/run upon startup. RPMs must be modified to not place anything there. + Documentation Impact: + Administration guide. RN Discussion: #2: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2008-07-08 19:30:23) somehow SLES/SLED got out of sync here. Matching. #4: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2008-07-14 15:30:03) There are no resources for this feature. Please postpone, (as agreed with MgE) #5: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2008-07-14 15:46:55) Just as a side note this feature will require an effort of aprox. 1 week, together with #303810 (they averlap about 95%) #10: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) (2009-02-04 10:50:32) Any requirements on the size for the tmpfs or should the default of tmpfs be used? #11: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) (2009-02-05 19:27:03) (reply to #10) Kay replied by personal mail: Size doesn't matter. /var/lock should also be on tmpfs. #12: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2009-06-02 11:22:49) Christoph, please reject with openSUSE 11.2, because disk encryption we can't promise this feature for 11.2. It may get done as bonus if encryption gets done earlier than expected, but we can't commit to it (which is what rejection means, which does not mean we may work on it). It is the next thing we will work on after encryption support. #32: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2010-04-26 12:08:04) rpmlint check implemented (badness 900) #35: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2010-11-03 15:50:03) Kay, is this still feature desired now with relatime as default? or can be closed forever? #36: Kay Sievers (kay_sievers) (2010-11-03 18:52:22) (reply to #35) It is a good feature to have, because we don't want to cleanup the dir on bootup. Systemd has this mandatory and you can't even disable it. #37: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-11-04 09:24:36) (reply to #35) This feature is done with using systemd. The scripts mount /var/run already and packages get fixed. I don't think any changes in YaST are needed, so I guess this can be marked as done. Duncan, please check for YaST work - and if none is needed, mark as done. #38: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) (2010-11-04 12:02:02) (reply to #37) When systemd mounts it and no entry in fstab is desired the feature is done from my side. I'm sure the mounting happens after potentially mounting /var. #39: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2013-03-05 11:29:23) Jiri, assuming SLE12 uses systemd, this feature can be marked as done. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/303793

[New: openFATE 316560] Provide minimal CD
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

Feature added by: Michal Papis (mpapis) Feature #316560, revision 1 Title: Provide minimal CD openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Michal Papis (mpapis) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Visiting http://software.opensuse.org/ there are few installer download options available: - 4.7GB DVD - Live GNOME / KDE - Network Where the first one I consider as waste of space as a lot of the (used/installed) packages is out of date in a week after release. The second option (Live) is only allowing copy of the image without much customization. The Third option (Network) requires downloading installer every time you start installation. Would it be possible to find middle ground and build minimal CDs which include the the installer and possibly the rescue system but do not contain any packages? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316560

[openFATE 312557] Yast DNS Server module: DNS Views Support
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Feature changed by: Bob Martens (boblmartens) Feature #312557, revision 9 Title: Yast DNS Server module: DNS Views Support openSUSE 12.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Irving Leonard (irvingleonard) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: yast2-dns-server doesn't have VIEWS support This package provides an administration interface to bind DNS server. It is very usefull but doesn't support views (DNS VIEWS). There are situations where it is a show stopper. References: yast2-dns-server haven't VIEWS support https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686385 Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I consider the views manage feature could be great for this module. I have knowledge about a lot of WANs that use DNS VIEWS. This feature can make the difference in the selection of the OS for DNS servers in this case. Simply a GREAT idea. + Discussion: + #1: Bob Martens (boblmartens) (2013-11-06 06:47:15) + I would love to see this added into the YaST module as well. Would make + the DNS server portion of SUSE/openSUSE a lot more useful. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312557
