[opensuse-project] openSUSE 11.0 Greeter, Desktop Icons, Bookmarks
by Stephan Binner 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

Hello, string freeze for openSUSE 11.0 is coming up in two week so it's again rather late to decide how we want the distribution point back to the project sites. - Shall we keep the setup with two different desktop icons (one starting the first-time openSUSE greeter and one pointing to http://help.opensuse.org)? - What greeter text? Shall it directly link to http://forums.opensuse.org? - Shall browser bookmarks have forums.o.o, shop.o.o and buildservice.o.o? - Is www.opensuse.org the best browser start page or do we want to have something like other distros which include some web search etc.? are some of the questions which come to my mind. Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] grub-0.97 patch errors
by Bergwolf 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hi, all I'm a student currently proposing for an opensuse gsoc project (http://en.opensuse.org/Summer_of_Code_2008#enable_ext4_file_system_as_boot_…) This project aims at enabling ext4 file system as grub legacy boot partition for opensuse and others. I downloaded the grub source package from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/grub-0… After decompressing it, I found eventually several patches for old grub-0.93, and grub-0.95 etc. Surprisingly, even some grub-0.97 patches don't work well, such as disk-by-ID: $cat disk-by-ID diff -Burbp grub-0.97.orig/lib/device.c grub-0.97/lib/device.c --- grub-0.97.orig/lib/device.c 2007-03-16 14:15:52.000000000 +0100 +++ grub-0.97/lib/device.c 2007-03-16 17:19:59.000000000 +0100 @@ -869,7 +869,11 @@ write_to_partition (char **map, int driv len = strlen(dev); pnum = ((partition >> 16) & 0xFF); - if (isdigit(dev[len-1])) + if (strncmp (dev, "/dev/disk/by-id/", 16) == 0) + { + sprintf (dev + len, "-part%d", pnum + 1); + } + else if (isdigit(dev[len-1])) { /* It is obviously some RAID disk: "/dev/<dsk>/c0d0" . "p1" */ sprintf (dev + len, "p%d", pnum + 1); $patch -p0 < disk-by-ID patching file grub-0.97/lib/device.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 869. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file grub-0.97/lib/device.c.rej My questions are: are these old patches applicable to grub-0.97? Does grub running in opensuse10.3 really uses these patches, or just some of them? I know that grub legacy is no longer under development, but since I'm working on an opensuse project, I need to consult the opensuse community to make sure that my ext4 patch cooperates with other patches when it comes out.

Re: [opensuse-project] End of life - what does it mean ?
by Klaus Kaempf 22 Apr '08

Everyone, can we please get back to the thread topic: Does 'end of life' (resp. end of support) for a distribution have to result in its removal from the openSUSE build service ? >From the feedback on opensuse-buildservice, I have the impression that most participant want a 'freeze' and not a 'remove'. Comments ?

[opensuse-project] openSUSE wiki status fo indexing
by Rajko M. 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

First this post is directed to project list because indexing openSUSE wiki is very important for the health of a openSUSE project and I would like to have attention from the most active members of the openSUSE project. Wiki is for the largest number of openSUSE users first source of information, before they go to the forums, mail lists and IRC. There was few attempts to organize indexing of openSUSE wiki, but due to current size of the wiki, indexing project is, for relative small wiki team and lack of experience in development of ways to access information, to big task. Part of the problem is that wiki was initially setup as 'all in one' source of information, translation tool, development, help etc, ie. collaboration platform for very diverse activities, where anybody can, and is encouraged to contribute. That brought a large diversity of topics and number of articles, which is good, but sometimes they are just sitting there unused, and that is the problem. Searching with built in search, or Google for the opensuse.org domain gives some help in this, but as any search it is not ideal for everybody, as precondition for successful search is that person knows something about topic. This leaves users that are making first steps in openSUSE and Linux out, and that is the category that we would like to have as easy entrance as possible. Someone mentioned in one of project meetings that we need information architect. It is very much truth, but I have no idea where to look for person that has experience and time to devote to the openSUSE wiki, or better to say, development of openSUSE information system. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] End of life - what does it mean ?
by Klaus Kaempf 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

Hi, there's a vivid discussion on opensuse-buildservice about the consequenses of "end of life" announcements to the buildservice. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-04/msg00185.html The question was raised if it is possible to keep older distributions available for download (e.g. unsupported.opensuse.org) and building. Adrian pointed to opensuse-project to get this question answered.
