[opensuse-edu] Desktop wiki page refactoring
by Kirill Kirillov 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

Hi! 1. Current status of development: http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Applications/Desktop_Temp 2. The list of dropped packages in comparison with old page (why?): bc (Math) calctool (Math) fraqtive (Math) dosbox (Emulator) dosemu (Emulator) quanta (WebDevelopment) enigma (LogicGame) kmahjongg (LogicGame) kmines (LogicGame) kpat (LogicGame) kreversi (LogicGame) lincity-ng (Simulation) anagramarama (Languages) rekall (DBMS) kile (Publishing) scribus (Publishing) audacity (AudioVideoEditing) FreqTweak (AudioVideoEditing) Stopmotion (AudioVideoEditing) dia (FlowChart) xFig (FlowChart) kolorpaint (2DGraphics) GIMP (2DGraphics) Inkscape (2DGraphics) Skencil (2DGraphics) blender (3DGraphics) GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) TaskJuggler (project management tool) PythonCAD (Engineering) 3. The list of packages to define their categories in new page: KLogic iTalc kiosktool kde-kids-theme sabayon childplay eXelearning gcompris GRAMPS KDissert KSociograma vym semantik Feel free to define (redefine) categories and to add missing packages. Any comments about new wiki page concept are welcome. 1. Program name is the same as package name 2. Level one categories are from RPM GROUPS (for easy installing) 3. Level two categories are from http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html (for easy and consistent browsing and finding installed application) Also, good icons representing ages are needed to support visual age differentiation. And the last, should wiki page include educational-related software from the official repo and if so, how to differ them?

[opensuse-edu] Release of openSUSE-Education 1.0 for 11.1 delayed
by Lars Vogdt 14 Dec '08

14 Dec '08

Hi all I'm sorry, but a bug in the project configuration causes a delay of (at least) one day for the next release of openSUSE-Education 1.0 for 11.1 :-( I've misleadingly made a typo during the setup of the new openSUSE 11.1 repository which results in using openSUSE 11.0 (!) as base for each package in the openSUSE 11.1 Edu-Repository ... But that gives me the time to fix the 4 most important bugs (TuxWordSmith, MultiplicationStation, TuxMathScrabble and brainworkshop) in our bugzilla. ;-) Feel free to have a look at the current state of our bugs here: http://devzilla.novell.com/education/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&orde… Note that you can also subscribe to our bugzilla mailinglist here: http://forge.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/education-bugs This way you can "watch" our bugzilla in realtime ;-) With kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] Web applications in the server pattern
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hey all, is there something I'm doing wrong? When I install Moodle from the repo, it places the application folder in /srv/www/moodle and not /srv/www/htdocs/moodle . This causes configuration issues with the installer. it requires the moodledata folder in /srv/www but the moodle folder in /srv/www/htdocs/moodle. I am having the same issues with openSIS. Can anyone help? JT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

Richard, Sorry, I forgot to set up "a reply to mailing list" I tried both the Yast installer and RPM, I also tried the same with Lars's Moodle and got the same response. I have all the repo's and the full DL dvd as sources. This is at the top of my user abuild log ; |error: cannot open Pubkeys index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) Is this because I haven't imported our build key? I know these are all newb questions, I am grateful for your help and patience.

Please specify a valid SPEC file to build a valid RPM package. openSIS.noarch: W: zero-length /srv/www/opensis/languages/English/Student_Billing/DailyTotals.php 109 more times with different scripts.

[opensuse-edu] Status-Blogging :-)
by Lars Vogdt 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi It's late again here in germany - but I want to share some details of my work on openSUSE-Education with you. I hope some information could be useful ;-) * Branched openSUSE_11.1 build target in OBS, as Factory/11.1 is splitted up now. * adapted READMEs to our new OBS layout * adapted content file of the add-on to the new format, so YaST can detect it again * Found an old bug in the solver, which prevents me from using scripts for creating the 11.1 add-on: currently the solver isn't able to handle whitespaces in directory names. So I have to walk through the generated packages.* files and remove lines containing whitespaces manually, re-zip them, re-generate checksums and re-sign everything. :-( bnc#450286 ) * fixed fbreader (just missing libexpat-devel) * trying to fix LabPlot (first some gcc-errors, now filelist) * fixing bibletime * preparing netbeans update * find and package missing perl-modules for koha (currently I'm at >30 new perl packages building in devel:languages:perl and see a light at the end of the tunnel). I will _aggregate all needed perl-packages into the education repository later. This way, everybody finds what he expects in "his" repo and we avoid double builds of the same source. * we've over 210 succeeded packages, but still 26 build failures. Any help is welcome! * packaged a first version of "scratch" (http://scratch.mit.edu/) - needs a small rework to use the already available Squeak package (I noticed to late, that this package already exists) * don't be surprised about the "images" repository in the education project. We already have a "_product:openSUSE-Education-Addon-dvd5-DVD-i586_x86_64" package now - and this package produces a "openSUSE-Education-Addon-dvd5-DVD-i586_x86_64.kiwi" file which can be used for building openSUSE-Education with one single kiwi call! (see http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Product_Definition/Handling for details ) * after the discussion in the last meeting, I added all maintainers of the isv:hp:education project also as maintainers of the education project, so their fixes can be integrated directly in our sourcepackages. * cleaned up the "education" projects in OBS: now only "education" and "isv:hp:education" are listed as "real" projects. (beside the home projects - I've written emails to some people having interesting packages in their home projects - everybody on this list feel free to invite any OBS-user to join this list and the openSUSE-Education Team if you find interesting packages in his home-project :) * worked together with Peter Varkoly on a first set of Open School Server packages in the home:openschoolserver project. These packages will be the base for the Open School Server based on SLES 11. This includes the YaST-Module to setup the OSS, the Webfrontend and base-scripts as well as preconfigured Joomla, Moodle, openXchange and egroupware packages. Extis will give support for these packages, later. * tried to download the second Live-CD from anubisg1 - but it looks like the server doesn't like me... Andrea: I've setup a rsync-server on opensuse-education. Perhaps it's better if you can upload new ISO images yourself... :-) Account details later via PM * added a public rsync module, so people can also download our official repositories on www.opensuse-education.org via rsync. If we're making use of the update-channels for 11.0 and 11.1, this would perhaps be very useful. Just try something like "rsync -n edu-user@www.opensuse-education.org::download/" to check. With kind regards, Lars PS: rsync from OBS is still running, so I will finish the Beta2 Release for 11.1 tomorrow.
