[opensuse-wiki] SDB article with title Category:SDB:Installation
by Freek de Kruijf 06 Oct '10

Maybe I understood it wrong but IMHO the title of what is now the page Category:SDB:Installation should be SDB:Installation -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] MultiBoilerplate extension lost boilerplate per namespace
by Rajko M. 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

I just added "Event report|Template:Event" to list of boilerplates for openSUSE namespace: http://en.opensuse.org/MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate-4 but I can see listed only 2 templates in openSUSE: namespace. Checked another namespace and I have only those 2 templates. It is either LocalSettings, new version of MultiBoilerplate extension without CBoltz patch, or yet another extension that has a problem with MediaWiki 1.16. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE Build Service Wiki Entries
by Helen 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

I'm going to make a list of any I find as I'm looking for information, and will post that to the list. The Cooking with Kiwi was a big one which Rajko has redirected/fixed today. I must say, when I land on the portal, it's a little hard to know where to go next. I'm not a packager (obviously) so maybe they would know what they want on that page. But there's no clear 'get started' or 'begin packaging' link. https://build.opensuse.org/ this is the one that has an arrow with 'welcome' on my Google search results so I'm seeing it as a landing page. Now that I've found the 'login' in the top corner and logged in, I can see 'my projects'. But it doesn't seem to invite new users to create a login. Maybe it would be more obvious to a programmer. cheers Helen > Which pages are you missing?

[opensuse-wiki] openSUSE Build Service Wiki Entries
by Helen 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi folks, I'm working on articles about the openSUSE Build Service. I'm finding the Wiki a little confusing (I don't know what's on old wiki and what's on new one) and lots of dead or empty pages. I know empty pages are a feature of wikis but it isn't a particularly nice new user experience, espeically when you are hoping to learn something from that page! So I know everyone is really busy, but can I ask that OBS is made something of a priority over the next little while, if it isn't already? If the article goes to print, it will hopefully generate a lot of interest so we'll want the documentation to be sparkling. I'm not sure when my article will go to print (Maybe December, if it's accepted?) but also, the OBS is the focus of a lot of attention at the moment, especially at the conference, so I think it's worth focusing on. Once I've got the most urgent marketing stuff and the OBS article out of the way, I hope to start contributing to the wiki, but right now the conference and OBS is almost a full time job! cheers, Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

Yes, and for the record, I am in support of this. Git is a much more appropriate version control system for the customizations, and using subversion updates from mediawiki.org for the core files and plugins is much less painful. As I mentioned in the IRC chat, I think it would be best to do this with the next mediawiki update. That way, it can be done without too much extra hassle, and there is really no reason to do it between update cycles. -Matt

[opensuse-wiki] Problem in openSUSE:Build_Service_KIWI using Template:Section_cleanup
by Freek de Kruijf 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

In the template a referal to the Talk page of this page is present [[Talk: {{PAGENAME}}]]. However this referal is to Talk:Build_Service_KIWI and should be a referal to openSUSE_talk:Build_Service_KIWI. A solution could be to have a Template:openSUSE_section_cleanup, so the referal could be [[openSUSE_talk:{{PAGENAME}}]], which only can be used in the openSUSE namespace. Equivalent templates can be defined for other namespaces. A better solution would be to have a parameter i.e. {{NAMESPACE}}, which contains the name of the namespace. In that case the referal would be [[{{NAMESPACE}}_talk:{{PAGENAME}}]]. I assume this is known, so I would like to know how and when this is solved. -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-wiki] SUSE Studio Image Writer
by Tim Mohlmann 05 Oct '10

Dear mbarringer, I found your adres in the about field of "SUSE Studio Image Writer". Please refer to: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/444430- installation-usb-stick-using-suse-studio-image-writer.html Is imagewriter supposed to be used with .iso images? If yes there is a bug. It was mentioned in the wiki before it should be able to be used with .iso images. But I found one of the editors removed this info from the page. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB:Live_USB_stick&oldid=25132 http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SDB:Live_USB_stick&diff=next&oldid=2… Regards Tim Mohlmann http://en.opensuse.org/User:Muhlemmer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi Wiki Team, the core testing team wants to move the openSUSE:Testing_team to the more familiar page openSUSE:Testing_Core_Team. Whom can I contact to approve the new link on the team page and remove safely the page "openSUSE:Testing_team"?

[opensuse-wiki] Reuest for an administrative privilege of ja.o.o
by Satoru Matsumoto 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hello mates, thanks to the team members, ja.opensuse.org also got the new instance as en.o.o recently. However, in the new instance, each newly created page needs to be checked, but there're only few who have the privilege to check and validate pages on ja.o.o ATM. http://ja.opensuse.org/index.php?title=%E7%89%B9%E5%88%A5:%E7%99%BB%E9%8C%B… Among those listed there, only 3 persons can understand Japanese. In addition, Takekazu has already left Novell Japan, I don't know who Yfurui is (I have never seen his/her name in Japanese community) and I'm sorry to say the only community member Yuuichi (sysop of ja.o.o) has been unenthusiastic these days. # He worked at ja.o.o only 3 times this year. :-( # http://ja.opensuse.org/%E7%89%B9%E5%88%A5:%E6%8A%95%E7%A8%BF%E8%A8%98%E9%8C… So, would you please give me the administrative privilege ?
