[opensuse-announce] BoF about ZYpp roadmap
by Duncan Mac-Vicar P. 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

The level of maturity ZYpp reached in the last releases allowed us to slow down development a bit and focus in other distribution areas. On the other hand, we still get exciting stuff from other contributors: last example is the new download backend to replace aria2 for openSUSE 11.4. This BoF objective is to kick off a discussion, get interested people together and gather new ideas for the roadmap. As a starting point for thought: - We see some opportunities. Ark Linux wanted to use ZYpp. MeeGo is using ZYpp, but not yet committed to it. - We would like to improve the communication with MeeGo, Ark and future potential stakeholders in order to create a better community around ZYpp. - Improving the PackageKit integration - Making the stack to run on Fedora is missing only details: Plan to port the stack to Fedora and keep it continuously running there (we have some things already ongoing) You can influence this discussion. It will take place on Oct 22, 2010, 11:15. For more information on how to attend the openSUSE conference, please see http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Conference Regards, Duncan Mac-Vicar P. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] The openSUSE Project welcomes Jos Poortvliet as new Community Manager
by Andreas Jaeger 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

We’re proud to announce today that Jos Poortvliet will join the openSUSE project and Novell as openSUSE Community Manager starting on August 1. With Jos we’ve found a leader with excellent community building experience combined with a very welcoming nature, many fresh, promising ideas and a strong drive to grow the openSUSE Project. Jos holds a degree in Organisational Psychology from the University of Utrecht and has gained valuable experience in several professional roles ranging from Project Manager at KPN to Service Level Manager at Royal Bank of Scotland. Last but not least, Jos is a leading member of the KDE Marketing Team and has helped Akademy and the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit attract a vibrant and collaborative audience. Jos commented, “The opportunity to become part of the international openSUSE community is very exciting. There are a great number of interesting developments going on in the free software world, and openSUSE plays a major role in many of them. I look forward to working with the community on these, helping it grow, finding new directions and ways of developing, and delivering its innovative technologies to users and developers around the world.” We enthusiastically welcome Jos and look forward to his working with the openSUSE community to shape the future of the openSUSE project. After his start he will be deeply involved in the openSUSE conference, other community events and activities, and of course he will have the pleasure of promoting openSUSE wherever possible.

[opensuse-announce] Please welcome openSUSE 11.3
by Michael Loeffler 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

The openSUSE Project is pleased to announce the release of the latest incarnation of openSUSE, with support for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. openSUSE 11.3 [1] is packed with new features and updates including SpiderOak to sync your files across the Internet for free, Rosegarden for free editing of your audio files, improved indexing with Tracker, and updates to Mozilla Firefox, and Thunderbird. Among these many new features, openSUSE also provides support for netbooks and the Btrfs file system support. Users can expect to see improved hardware support with the 2.6.34 Linux kernel and updated graphics drivers. And support for the next generation of interactive computing for touchscreens like the HP TouchSmart. openSUSE continues its tradition of delivering the popular KDE, GNOME and Xfce desktop environments, and now also provides the lightweight LXDE desktop environment. With GNOME, you can use the latest 2.30.1 version or take your installation for a drive with a preview of the upcoming GNOME 3.0. Or choose KDE SC 4.4.4 for the latest updates. They all feature the polish and integration that the openSUSE distro has been known for. For a full view check the complete collection of screenshots [2] or install it right away [3]. As we expect very large demand for the ISOs we suggest you check out BitTorrent as download method ;-) For servers and development platforms, administrators can take full advantage of the new MariaDB and MySQL Cluster services as well as Conntrack to filter network packets for iptables. Developers will appreciate the plethora of tools available at their fingertips with GCC, GDB and Mono and IDEs such as Netbeans, Qt-Creator and many others.

[opensuse-announce] New wiki, what now?
by Henne Vogelsang 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

We just switched to the new wiki. So here it is. And now? Let me explain what you can do to help! ===================== Create your user page ===================== Every user of the wiki has a personal page and we did not transfer any of them. We wanted to use this opportunity to brush them up and standardize them. Your userpage should be your first task in the new wiki. If your username is Geeko, just go to http://en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko and press “create”. After that load the userpage teamplate by pressing on the “Load” button. Then fill out the form and you will get a nice standardized userpage! You can also of course transfer your old userpage. Just go to http://old-en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko to find the content. ==================== Report Missing Pages ==================== Can’t find your page? Think we missed something? Just report the page to the opensuse wiki team! We will try our best to help you getting it back! ====================== Transfer Missing Pages ====================== Want to get your hands dirty? Dive right into the new wiki and learn how it works on the Wiki Portal or the previous posts on this blog. After you did that and know all the new wiki Kung-fu you go and find the pages you think are missing on http://old-en.opensuse.org. Now you have two options, either use the Special:Export page on the old wiki and the Special:Import on the new wiki if you want to transfer the article with all of its history or you just copy and paste the article if the history is not that important. Otherwise Just Keep Calm And Carry On!

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Build Service 1.8 and 2.0 Announced
by Andreas Jaeger 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

The openSUSE Project is proud to announce the 1.8 and 2.0 releases of the openSUSE Build Service (OBS). It is an open package and distribution development platform that provides a transparent infrastructure that allows developers to build for various major Linux distributions and hardware architectures. The public server http://build.opensuse.org is available for all open source developers to build packages for the most popular distributions including Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise and Ubuntu. It is also used to build the openSUSE and MeeGo distributions. OBS 2.0's key features are a newly designed Web UI, anonymous access and an enhanced request system. OBS 1.8 is an update to the 1.7 release driven by the needs of the MeeGo project. Its major feature is access control enforcement. The next OBS release 2.1 will also include the access control enforcement, which is not yet in 2.0. The completely refreshed Web UI for OBS 2.0 allows developers to work more efficiently, as data is displayed where it is expected, and the Web service loads faster and provides better access to projects, packages and meta data. Anonymous access in OBS 2.0 to all packages and projects offers great convenience for users and more effectively promotes packages in the Build Service to the world at large, enabling search engines to index the Build Service as well. It also makes it easy to collaborate with other developers to show them patches or log files. With OBS 2.0, review handling by a team is supported and roles can get assigned to groups instead of just to a single person. The access control enforcement feature of OBS 1.8 allows access for projects, packages and repositories to be restricted to specified users and groups. This acknowledges privacy concerns of users. "openSUSE Build Service has substantial momentum in the mobile and embedded space, specifically being used now by the MeeGo project," said Amanda McPherson, vice president marketing and developer services at the Linux Foundation. "The Linux Foundation is proud to be a strong contributor to OBS, including making substantial contributions to these new releases and features. We look forward to working with our members on OBS-related projects." “The openSUSE Build Service 2.0 release is a significant improvement for developers,” said Michael Löffler, chairperson of the openSUSE Board, “It eases collaboration with the broader open source community due to supporting anonymous access. Developers can get their job better done with the new WebUI and the faster and more flexible OBS. ” Users can use OBS 2.0 on the project's public server http://build.opensuse.org or run it in their own on-premise infrastructure. Deployment is possible directly from source code or from our appliance image (http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/OBS-Appliance) For additional information, please read the release notes for OBS 1.8 (http://www.gitorious.org/opensuse/build- service/blobs/1.8/ReleaseNotes-1.8) and 2.0 (http://www.gitorious.org/opensuse/build- service/blobs/2.0/ReleaseNotes-2.0). -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

by Will Stephenson 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

The next openSUSE KDE Team meeting will be held today, Thursday 10th June, at 16:00 UTC. The current list of scheduled topics is: * old action items *review KDE defaults on 11.3 (mime types especially, the screensaver, Nepomuk (bug#575149)) ** Who wants to open torrents with KGet or iso files with Ark? :-) Amarok's .desktop file has a "InitialPreference" to ensure it's the default app for the types it supports, but Kaffeine doesn't ** Progress regarding font rendering on Konqueror ** InitialPreference system is broken. If/once Amarok starts supporting video you can't set Amarok as the default audio player and Kaffeine as the default video player since both support audio and video. mimeapps.list can't be used because also has effect on Gnome. Add extra, KDE-specific, mimeapps.list file? evaluate increased visibility in general kde community * conclusion of repository reorganization * Is openSUSE/KDE doing anything regarding the dbus thread bug? (see [1] for patch+bug reports) * openSUSE KDE Netbook edition - (https://features.opensuse.org/308401) should we make it easier to select plasma-netbook in 11.3 (AJaeger) * discuss the posibility of building KDE Unstable Live CDs from time to time (helps testing KDE, increases openSUSE/KDE visibility; on the other hand, it requires some resources). * status report * Q&A, misc Further items are welcome; please add them http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings Please use http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=10&month=6&year=20… to get the time of the meeting in your time zone.

[opensuse-announce] An update about the Strategy Proposals
by Bryen M. Yunashko 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

We wanted to give you an update regarding the status of our Strategy Team's release of strategy proposals for public discussion. Truth is, despite our best intentions to release on this date, we failed to realize each of our personal schedules leading up to this date. For many of us on the team, we had a number of commitments and didn't realize that most of us had scheduling conflicts. We are 90% done completing the wording of our proposals. While we could have rushed to finish everything by today, it was agreed that quality of the proposals was more important than rushing to meet a deadline. As such, we have agreed to postpone the release for one additional week until everyone is able to return to the table and finalize our proposals. The new release date for the openSUSE Strategy Proposals discussion will now be on June 17th. We thank you for your patience and understanding and look forward to a lively discussion next week once the proposals are published.

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7: Preparing for RC Phase
by Andreas Jaeger 26 May '10

26 May '10

Milestone 7, a snapshot of the openSUSE Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download. M7 is the last milestone release, the next release will be RC1 on June 17th. Now it's time for testing and bugfixing! openSUSE 11.3 Progress Compared to M6, this milestone brings many bug fixes, an update to Linux kernel 2.6.34 and the integration of software translations and new artwork. We plan to include in openSUSE 11.3 the following highlights: * Netbook support with both Moblin and KDE * The approaching Btrfs file system can be configured in the installer * The zypper package management command line client has seen further improvements: o Improve package dependency handling: if a package gets removed, dependencies needed only by this package can get removed as well (using option --clean-deps) o Better control over package selection: The package selection code has been enhanced to support the following syntax for use with in/up/rm commands: [+/-]repo:type:nameOPversion.arch o zypper will notify about updates with vendor change (from different repository) * Better graphics driver support for Nvidia cards with integration of Nouveau driver * Back up and File sharing with SpiderOak - still in negotiation but looking good * Kernel 2.6.34 which as usually brings a ton of new or updated drivers and assures better hardware support this time has as key features o support of a number of Intel processors and chip set which will be delivered in the future o improved visualization o more efficient usage of energy saving features provided through state of the art hardware * Great desktop experience with GNOME 2.30.1, KDE 4.4.3, LXDE 0.5.5, and XFCE 4.6.1. LXDE has been newly integrated and is part of the DVD media. * On demand package installation in KDE, for e.g. debug info packages and missing modules. * Imagewriter tool to copy ISO images to an USB stick * Updated distribution with new upstream packages A detailed list is available in the wiki. Testing! Testing! Testing! As this is a milestone and not a final release, 11.3 M7 does contain bugs both known and unknown, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. The following annoyances have already been reported: * Firefox crashes at start Bug #608087 - workaround: update gtk2 to the new version from the GNOME factory repo * The x86_64 NET Install CD had a garbled screen for an NVidia GeForce Go 7150M graphics adapter. The workaround is to add "brokenmodules=nouveau" to the Boot Options line. * Accessing LVM partitions is not possible - Bug #598193 "udev deletes device nodes". * LXDM always start default session Bug #607868 Please see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.3_dev#openSUSE_11.3_Miles… for the current list. What are you waiting for? Grab the milestone release from http://software.opensuse.org/developer today! Have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Build Service 2.0 Beta1 Release Brings New User Interface
by Andreas Jaeger 25 May '10

25 May '10

The openSUSE Build Service (obs) is an open package and distribution development platform that provides a transparent infrastructure that allows developers to build for various major Linux distributions and architectures. The public server build.opensuse.org is available for all open source developers to build packages for the most popular distributions incl. Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE, Red Hat, SUSE Linux Enterprise and Ubuntu. It is also used to build the openSUSE distribution. This is the first beta release of version 2.0. Version 2.0 is planned to be released on June 10th. We have updated the public server http://build.opensuse.org with the current code stream as part of our testing. We invite others running a build service to test the code and give feedback via the opensuse-buildservice mailing list and report bugs in bugzilla. Beta1 is feature complete, new features will go in the next major release (release planned for end of 2010), we will concentrate on fixing bugs now. Beta1 includes the following major changes: New Web UI Tailor-Made for Packagers The new Web UI makes your work more efficient as stuff is where it is expected, it loads faster and gives you a better access to projects, packages and meta data. Public Read Access For Convenient Collaboration Anonymous access gets you to packages and projects without log-in. This is pretty convenient for the users and promotes all packages in the Build Service more to the world as now search engines can index the Build Service as well. It makes it also easy to collaborate with other developers to show them your patches or log files. New Features for Cooperation in a Team With obs 2.0 review handling by a team is possible and roles can get assigned to groups instead of just to a single person. Additional Changes The full list of changes is available as part of the OBS Roadmap and includes also the following enhancements: * An easy way to view unsubmitted changes in development projects or new upstream releases. This is used especially for our openSUSE distribution development. * The request system has been enhanced: A new request type to add or change the user list of packages or projects has been added. Also review handling is now possible to allow a team to review changes prior to accepting a request. * Developers can receive notifications if one of their package gets branched by others. * Improved source handling: It’s possible to undelete packages. Meta data are now under version control. * The build service has seen many speedups so that packages get build faster. You can try the obs 2.0 beta1 either on http://build.opensuse.org or in your own infrastructure. Deployment is possible directly from source code or from our combined server and worker virtual appliance image. Thanks! This is a release where many different people were involved in development and even more in testing by using the openSUSE instance. We received also a number of good feature requests that got implemented. Thanks to everybody that participated! I’d like to give special credit for the great WebUI work done by the Boosters team, mainly Coolo and Tom!

[opensuse-announce] News about openSUSE Strategy
by Pavol Rusnak 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi everyone! For the past few months we, the openSUSE Board [1], together with the great help from Kurt Garloff [2],Jan Weber [3] and Andreas Jaeger [4], held a series of strategy sessions to address the future of openSUSE. We discussed the role of openSUSE as a community and project and looked at data from a variety of sources, including the recent openSUSE Survey [5] to identify and build a strategy of strength and empowerment within our community, with a goal of establishing a common unified ground for answering the question to ourselves and to the world... "Why openSUSE?" and openSUSE's role in the operating system market, both today and in the future. After much discussion, we're finally ready to bring together these important bits of information into a cohesive statement that everyone can unify around. As such, we, the members of the Strategy Team, will be meeting in Nuremberg the weekend of May 28th to formalize a draft of our strategy that will be available publicly for open discussion and comment. The weekend strategy retreat will be preceded by a General Board Meeting Friday morning and a Meet & Greet for the general public Friday evening. If you are in the Nuremberg area or are willing to travel to Nuremberg, we invite you for a sociable evening of chat and drinks at the SUSE-Nuremberg offices [6] at 6:00 p.m. Meet the Board, members of the openSUSE Boosters team and other SUSE guys there. We'll do a few short presentations but the focus lays clearly on communication and having fun. For more information about our work, please feel free to review our documents at http://en.opensuse.org/Documents. And we'll be sure to keep you informed of our progress results from this exciting retreat.
