[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Build Service Version 0.5 Release
by Adrian Schröter 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

The openSUSE project releases the version 0.5 of the openSUSE Build Service. This code drop does provide the functionality as provided on https://build.opensuse.org/ the first time as official tar ball release. Pointsettia provides the complete infrastructure to build single hardware architecture distributions. System images can be created via KIWI Overview of a few enhancements in Pointsettia: * Improved repository generation. Repositories get generated out of process of the scheduler. This makes the scheduler faster and more reliable. * Improved signing for repositories. Each project get now its individual gpg key for the repositories * Convenient project deletion now available. * Bugzilla linkage. Link added to create new Bugzilla reports for certain projects or packages The openSUSE Build Service (OBS) is designed to host sources of packages. It can reuse sources from other source repository systems like svn or cvs, but it is more often used to maintain all necessary files around a tar ball release from another open source project. The OBS features the project modell, which allows easy team building around a set of packages and allow the cooperation between upstream software developers and multiple packagers. It does also enable developers to adapt existing packages and to offer different flavors of them for their use cases. The goal of the OBS is to become a complete open development platform for the openSUSE distribution. Therefore it does focus esp. on consistent package building via automatic package rebuilding in case of changes of dependend package changes to guarantee always a consistent build. Next years developing will focus on improving the collaboration features to allow submissions requests to all projects, what will allow direct contributions to the openSUSE distribution. Later on we will complete the necessary features for creating installation medias and improving the End-User interface. Links: * The Build Service development takes place in Novell forge at http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?opensuse * The version 0.5 can be downloaded from http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Downloads/opensuse/0.5/ * Packages are packaged in the OBS itself http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=obs&baseproject=ALL * Current svn version can get checked out from https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse/trunk/buildservice We wish you already a Happy New Year !

[opensuse-announce] Announcing openSUSE 11.0 Alpha0
by Stephan Kulow 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi! We'd like to kick start the development of openSUSE 11.0 in releasing the current state of Factory as Alpha0 release. Since the release of 10.3, we checked in 2187 packages including such pretty fundamental package updates as: - gcc 4.3.0 - kernel 2.6.24-rc4 - X.org 7.3 - KDE 3.5.8 - KDE 4.0 RC1 - CUPS 1.3.4 - gdb 6.7.1 - Alsa 1.0.15 - Gimp 2.4 - Yast2 2.16 The change between 10.3 and Alpha0 is pretty big, but it still works pretty nicely. So please join the openSUSE 11.0 development in downloading, testing and using Alpha0 or daily updated Factory distribution. The most annoying bugs are as usual listed on http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev So far there are some glitches in the installation process, that are mostly harmless. But the new kernel in particular can cause some regressions we would love to hear about through bugzilla. You can get it from http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version#Downloads Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

Stephan Binner wrote up a Challenges page and discussing meeting these is the main topic. Also, the pile of patches and improvements that we have vs vanilla KDE needs a strategy to port those or upstream them. And if you're using the KDE 4 packages we have in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4/openSUSE_10.3 we'd love to see what you think of them or to help with any problems Until then, Will -- Desktop Engineer KDE Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Guiding Principles take effect
by Michael Loeffler 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

It's official: the openSUSE project Guiding Principles [http://en.opensuse.org/Guiding_Principles] are now in force. The Guiding Principles are a framework for the project and give everyone a clear view of who we are, what we stand for, what the project wants and how it works. The Guiding Principles document was created by the openSUSE community and is embraced by Novell - the founder and largest sponsor of the openSUSE project. This important document will help ensure the success and continued progress of the project. Along with the Guiding Principles, we are also launching the openSUSE Board to offer a central point of contact to the community and make community participation in project governance easier. The openSUSE Board [http://en.opensuse.org/Board] consists of both external community members and community members employed by Novell. We encourage all to support the Guiding Principles at https://users.opensuse.org/ . Create your profile and support the Guiding Principles.

[opensuse-announce] Wiki maintainers wanted
by Martin Lasarsch 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi, I hope i will reach more people on this list. Most wikis are very well maintained, thanks for that. Unfortunately some are not. Especially vi, es and is are not really up to date (last time i checked). No, i don't want to blame the maintainers, sometimes it's just lack of time ... If you are interested to join the wiki translation team, subscribe to opensuse-wiki for more information. If you work in a team it's not that much work to keep a few pages up to date. Thanks! reply to: is set to opensuse-wiki -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
